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

I use this desk:

Pretty decent size... and cost isn't bad.
You can fit a 28" monitor and your near fields on the top shelf.

+1 on the galant :





i'm on a flat so not really possible to make some heavy wood work , but i will one day (intagrate the vs700 in , racks under ....)

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.

That is way too tidy,  how on earth do you get any work done??

I'm thinkin abour redesigning my homestudio and so i'm gonna stick for a custom made with kitchen material (heavy and good lookin) also ready acoustics for the acoustic side .....i'm spenbding a lot of time in (even sleeping there sometime ) and it's looking like a bunker or cocpit or some like that , so i want now of course ergonomy but also some cool to the eye and feels !!

I built mine using one of the plans from this DIY site. I highly rec. it! You can get them as downloads (PDF) I am no wood worker but it was very easy to follow and a lot cheaper than buying one (that size) already made.
