Hi, does anyone know how much weight this desk will take roughly? My desktop is heavy as are most gaming computers and im not sure if its worth risking damaging my new desk by having the pc on top?

Thanks
 
The room on top of the desk to cater for the desktop is fine, its put together as perfectly as it can go as I took my time over a couple of days and did it bit by bit

I'm more concerned about the Antec 902 feet causing some kind of damage to the surface of the desk and I'm still in two minds on whether or not it would actually take the weight without bowing etc
 
Your PC isn't going to be that heavy. These desks have been on sale pre-LCD era. They have been built with 22" CRTs in mind.

For the ultimate strength you could go my route and use 2 filing cabinets with a 160cm 10mm strengthened glass support underneath the 160cm wooden top. It can hold the weight of 2 grown men (tested).

If you're concerned about it marking the surface you can buy a mat to place underneath the computer, mine was an anti vibration mat I got online years ago
