At my old house, I had a custom desk built into the alcove in the living room. It wasn't pretty but it was strong and it worked for my needs.
Here in my new place that is not an option, the alcoves are too small and I've been using a "gaming desk" I picked up cheap on Gumtree. The PC is currently sitting on an old steel framed chair and quite frankly I'm sick of looking at it after 6 months.
So I need a new desk setup, I've been looking at going down the almost obligatory Alex drawers Ikea desk hack route with a nice kitchen counter work top etc but I'm a little concerned with weight. I read somewhere that Alex drawers can support up to 100lbs of weight, but my system is damn heavy (o11 Dynamic XL, triple rad setup with distro plate) and I'm a little concerned about it holding that, plus monitor etc. Can anyone put my mind at ease with this?
If not can I get some other recommendations for something large and sturdy that I can maybe stick alex drawers underneath, as I want the storage? I did see a Jayztwocents video a while back where he got this really solid looking desk that looked perfect but I can't find anything similar over here. Think it was called the goliath desk or something.
Any help would be appreciated guys.
