How about a coffee/end table for under the desk?

A bit unusual, and wasn't sure where to put this, but as I don't want my (small) PC build on the table due to fan noise (which the condenser mic will pick up if it is on top), and with my lack of handyman tools or skills, I've been trying to find a decently sized table which would happily sit under the desk.

I'm sure I saw someone, either here or on Reddit, do the same thing before and even put castors on his, I just can't for the life of me remember where to find it.

So... spec me a small table for under my desk? :D
 
Desk is 160x80cm, I'd wager about 70cm tall at a guess?

No definite case yet - but it will likely be ITX sized, so you don't need to worry about trying to fit a 750D under there or anything. MATX at the most if I need proper custom cooling (Define Nano S or something).
 
Ikea has legs that small? Or do you mean those stub like things a quick google showed?

There isn't really a specific height needed; main point was to just get the PC off the floor without looking really naff, like I've seen when some people just chuck a bit of plywood under their tower. Considering it'd be an ITX case though, perhaps a dolly would be a little bit on the small side.

Castors also not a complete requirement - on more thinking just not necessary for compact cases... would be easier for a 750D I guess so you don't smash your head trying to lift that behemoth up :p

(I think the one I saw originally was an IKEA HÖGSBY with the legs cut smaller.... maybe). Not sure how tall that thing is as they don't say.

I can't get good enough internet to find them but it is the ones they sell for cabinets and the like. They crop up on here quite often for use on monitor shelves.
 
Oh the fun of mobile signals in hospital and why don't Ikea have full product urls?

I think it is the Capita leg but they don't look exactly like I remember them. Appear to come in either 8cm or 16cm heights, whereas I thought they had greater adjustment but it has been a while.
 
Lidl had some plant pot mover trolley things recently, they're like a square decking tile with castors on, were about £5 if memory serves me right.
