Good Computer Desk for 24" iMac?
After being a Windows user since version 3.0 (Bill Gates will burn in **** for that one) I just got a 24" iMac. Since my hobby is photography and imaging programs are resource intensive, I initially priced out a Dell Precision with Dell's 24" monitor to use with Vista. As much out of idleness as anything else, I wandered into an Apple store a played around with the 24" iMac. I was more than a little surprised to find out I could have the sleekly designed iMac with a stable UNIX based OS for about $100 less than the Dell. So far I am very satisfied with the iMac. The lack of overhead created by virus and spyware programs makes even web browsing much faster than on a Windows machine.
My huge L shaped computer desk is much bigger than I need for the iMac, plus it has gotten a bit beat up looking over the years. I wonder if anyone has found a computer desk that really works well with the 24" iMac? I don't need Ethan Allen quality furniture; a good laminate finish will be fine. I need ready access to a letter size Epson printer and an Epson PictureMate. I also have a phone, DSL modem and wireless router. A couple of drawers built into the desk would be a nice feature.
It's brutally cold here in Central Illinois, so before I head out shopping I thought I'd ask for some recommendations here. I have access to most national retailers, with the exception of Ikea and Costco, though both of them have stores only a couple of hours away in the Chicago 'burbs.
Thanks for any advice.
