OmniRax stuff is very expensive. I mean painfully expensive. I was looking at some of their furniture over a year ago (when I actually had the money to invest) and I still couldn't bring myself to buy their stuff.
You can build your own or have a friend build something for you for a lot less money and just as good. Still nice to dream about it

About 6 months ago we went to the supermarket with my wife, while we were talking while walking to the place, a strange noise came to our ears... It was some sor of speaking through amicropnone that the wind would bring to us.
Fortunately, we approached it and it was the clousure of an important stablishment, they were selling at ridiculous prices everything left, and they wanted it to be sold in two days.
Tables, shelfs, chears, etc., etc., were sold at very, very low price. We had the chance to get some very good wood for $40 (americal dollars), and now I have a magnificent office-studio, with nice build forniture...
This are the kind of opportunities you have to get, when your poket is empty...

it's about positioning of the screen(s) :
you should look a little bit downwards to it, otherwise your eyes are opened too much and 'run dry' because the eye lid is moved up unconciously to focus the high positoned image.
With CRT screens that's fairly difficult to achieve, best way is to cut out a part of the main surface and place it below the plate in a tilted position and add something to prevent the screen from slippin backward.
Since the mixer is usually placed very close to this part of the desk it's often almost impossible to come up with a proper solution, let alone that such a construction drives prices really upward.
With TFT screens thats much easier to achieve (of course).
Those could be mounted from back side in a way they even 'float' above part of the mixer.
cheers, Tom

I suppose it depends on what part of the world you live in but here in the midwest section of the US, wood is fairly cheap and abundant. Even the good stuff.
It's funny this thread popped up when it did. I've been considering building myself a nice studio desk and racks. I have a friend who is a carpenter who offered to help. This guy is an artist with a good eye for detail. I've seen samples of his work. Top notch. We figured we could build a custom desk for about half the proce of the commercial stuff. The best part is that it would be customized to my specifications and the way I like to work. Tom made some good points about ergonomics. I don't like to look up at the monitor either. I prefer it just a bit below eye level. And I like a lot of usable desk space around me to write/work.
I'll probably design something so the PC is in an enclosed rack space with a door to minimize the fan noise (it's not bad right now - I can barely hear it).
