Computer Desk/Workstation
Anyone have any suggestions for a computer desk/workstation that would work well with Sonar, a Roland VS-880EX, a Midi Keyboard Controller, and a myriad of desktop synths? I'm hoping to figure out a way to organize all of my equipment into a working studio environment. I've had to store a lot of equipment away since the SMALL dresser I have everything set up on doesn't accomodate a quarter of the equipment that I have. Thanks for any suggestions!

without spending $1000's on purpose built studio furniture - Ikea's Galant is a cheap, customizable solution. I added a monitor shelf, which would hold 3, and allows room for 6 rackmounts below. There is plenty of desk space (63" x 32") and is expandable to allow for an L shape addition, or straight extension which might provide for desktop synths. Add a keyboard tray, or midi keyboard pullout and your looking at ~$300 (78" length). Heres a quick snap of mine

Excellent suggestion, thanks! Would I be able to find the accessories (monitor shelf and keyboard tray) at Ikea as well?

You could always try building one from scratch - to your very own design. It's probably not as difficult as you might think.
