DIY Ikea Monitor Stand for $12

I've been looking around for a solid computer table but hard to find ready made one that best suits my need.

Solid table from vhive are abundant but they usually has no place to put power strip or hid the casing underneath or missing the elevated top rack to put satellite speakers for best sound effect.

Proposal for DIY computer table:

Menova metal rack, 120cm L x 45cm W x 180cm H from Giant, $138. Five tiers in total. Bottom tier for tower casing, 2nd tier at 55cm height for keyboard + desktop casings like cm elite 360. 3rd tier at 70cm height as table top. 4th tier should be right above LCD height, 5th tier for satellite speakers and wireless router for best coverage.

120cm x 45cm table top, wooden plank can be gotten from Ikea for less than $50, saw to fit & rest on 3rd tier.

There you have it, a solid metal rack with 5 tiers variable height, transformed into a computer table with multiple storage for casing, keyboard, speakers & all.

Gotten the rack from Giant last weekend, will look for the table top from Ikea coming weekend.

What do you think? Anyone interested in joining this DIY project also?


Finally done!
