Hey TTG< i am building a computer desk and i was wondering if these are any good, All that's gonna be on the table is my PC, mouse, keyboards and my arms. Nothing else.

Is this a good mixture or not?
Would that be able to take some weight on it if i place too many items on it?
Is that worth the money?

I'm not really a fan of building computer desks because most people cold really mess up. In the past, I've had a wobbly desk. It COMPLETELY ruins playing on my computer. I don't really know anything about building desks though, so you should read reviews and find videos on building sturdy desks.

I'd personally just buy a desks that's meant for computers.

I was going to buy a desk already built but there is none that i really do like. The one that i like is what most YouTubers use actually, Linnmon table top and Adlis legs, That's what i am going to get.

Thanks for your help anyway.

Yeah that looks fine, but my suggestion is to get two sets of those. I say this because I have an Xbox 360 and Xbox One, and I have everything Xbox One on one side and everything Xbox 360 on the other. Also I would get two because you can set your console and games and accessories on one and your monitor and speakers (optional) on the other so everything isn't crammed.

Alright, thank you. I'll just buy the one for now and get another at a later date. I only have a PC now, i will have my TV mounted on the wall and such. Thanks for your help.

If i bought a built one, i will have to assemble the table or have to haul a huge table home. I would rather build one. So i can do what i want with it. Change legs with ease and such.

You're not really building it, you're just assembling it. All you have to do is screw the legs into the table top. There's really no way you can mess it up. I've used a similar set-up and it was perfectly fine. I have left my hi-fi, a monitor and a bunch of useless shit on my desk for the past few months, and it's fine. It wouldn't be any easier to just buy a "built one" because you're still going to have to assemble it anyway.

When i rad that, i thought that exact same thing, but what i meant was that i can mainly add what i want to it, I.e. Draws, cable management case and such. On a lot of tables, there aren't enough room for that, but i will be getting it done soon.
