i'm working on building a gaming PC and while i've been working on buying the parts, i haven't had a chance to look at computer desks or chairs yet. this is my first build so please be nice :)

i've visited some other forums that recommend building your own desk but i'd rather buy a premade one. i was wondering if someone could suggest a type of desk or show me an example of their set up.

*i'm not looking for L-shaped desks
*i'd like my mouse and keyboard to be level to each other
*i want my tower to be at least 6" off the ground, preferably level with my monitor
*my tower is a full tower, it is about 22" tall, length-wise, about 27", give or take a few (it's still in plastic and the styrofoam)
*length-wise, i have 6-7 feet in my room to work with, possibly more
*i have no preference on whether it has drawers or more tiers or not

recommendations for chairs would also be great :) thanks for any advice!!

For a desk, I would say to hunt down an IKEA Jerker or Fredrikon your local Craigslist. They're extremely utilitarian and very sturdy, they're usually in great condition. I picked up a Jerker with 2 of the swiveling platforms for $50.

For a chair, that's really up to your budget. The Herman-Miller Aeron is the most comfortable computer desk chairs I've ever had, It's also the most expensive. But the IKEA Markus is a good choice.

Yes. I like IKEA.
