Hm about what I expected ... as it's not much different for me. The problem with a simple table is: it's fine for the PC ... all on the right height, but the Masterkeyboard (MKbd) would be way to high up to play sensibly (and will cause hand problems ... which I have due to years of PC work). If I lower the MKbd to palyable heights, it's lower than any PC table and then you have all your PC kit on the side or awkwardly far off behind the MKbd.
 
I need to think of a solution that provides both ... I'm thinking of using some monitor arm, presenting the monitor above the Mkbd ... and some sort of mouse/keyboard rest, provided by some stand behind the MKbd or so....
 
@sharke
Don't you smack your knees into the MKbd under the table? My Arturia Keylab 88 isn't outrageously fat or so ... but it's high enough to get in the way of thighs/knees I think. otherwise, this would be one of the best solutions. Rich guys can go this way:
 

 
So the goal is a simple variant of that ( no need for 19" rack space etc up there for me ).

Got this corner desk with slide-out PC keyboard tray on Amazon, very pleased with it. My ancient Roland D-20 sits perfectly on the long side in front of the screen and Tannoys, which are raised up on a pair of hi-fi speakers. I find the position quite comfortable for playing the keys.

I love it already just because it's a D20. Gives me Nostalgia, as my first "real" synth was a D10 :)
 
I like those setups, but I have to consider that I also use the very smae computer for long, crazy gaming sessions, so I need a double ergonomy, that fits both uses. I *could* use my laptop for music ... but it always feels crazy to go onto a small, slower machine and leave the big hexacore unused for some task... sigh.

Your priorities are wrong.  Use the laptop for games.  Problem solved!

If you tell me how I can cram my three GPUs into the laptop, then maybe ... if I also manage to watercool it, so it is just as silent as the desktop :P (Too many hobbies .. Games, Rendering and Sounds :P).

I hear ya!

This was my last set up.

Here's an even older set up crammed into a 9'x11' room:
 

 
 

Out of interest, what kind of music do/did you write Craig? I don't think I've heard anything by you, or have I?

Mine looks like an inefficient garbage heap at the moment. Looks pretty cool when it's clean though.
 
No pics.
 
I essentially have two folding tables. One I bought and another I built from an old door and some folding table legs I bought fromt he hardware store. One has my DAW, flatscreen, monitors (sitting on stacks of old books), QWERTY keyboard and trackball. The interface sits on top of the DAW case. To the right of that is my mixer and controllers (which all get covered up with towels until I'm ready to use them) and has enough room for my laptop for research and intertube breaks. To the left are my amps and guits. I've got hooks and floating shelf on the walls to hang cables and store crud on and I have a wacky wire run scheme using nails and velcro straps at the top of the walls to keep active audio cables and other long runs away from the equipment (to minimize mess and hum). Behind me I've got a cabinet for mics and other crud and I use all the room under the tables for storage.
 
It would be MUCH cleaner/organized/pretty if I didn't also use it as my "office" as well. I've got paperwork scattered everywhere. lol
 
But I do like the "Mission Control" feel to it all. Surrounded by the tables and gear I just roll in and get to it. If I had some dough I'd definitely refine it better and wish I were in a slightly larger room (and more soundproof... ugh). All in all though I think I set it up about as good as I could with what I've got within the space I have.
