Replacing my old desk, old PC, starting from scratch with dual 22" 2209WA's and an i7 build in a Cooler Master HAF922 case.
Current desk is tiny...so even the desk must be replaced and I need some ideas.

Show me your dual monitor (and desk) setup please. Thanks!

I am doing the same dual 2209WA setup and ran into problems with the size of my desk so I just bought this one at Office Depot. It may not fit your taste but I have all antiques, so it blended well with my existing furniture.

Although it looks small in the photo, it is pretty large at 52" x 28".

Once I get some extra money - I'm recovering from my computer build, which is approaching the $3,000 range - I am going to order one of these puppies from Dell. I suppose you could use it with a smaller desk and just have the monitors hang over a little:

Perhaps you could afford this bracket instead. ;)

Cool, thanks. It actually looks more compact and I was going to paint the bracket black anyway!

Funny.. I just added a 3rd screen to my setup. I was annoyed that all my IMs and mail was causing me to switch between apps with all my screen space.

So I added an 8" touch LCD just below/middle of my two 22" displays.

It works really well so far, but Windows7 does ODD things with edge snapping when you have a screen "below" your two main displays.. Need to learn more!

You're welcome :)
They have a deal on that desk every couple months, so if you ever want to buy another I'd say wait on SD to report it.
