Hello everyone... I am building a new music PC but based on my configuration (mainly, moving from a mid to full ATX chasis), I will need to get a new desk. Unfortunately, I've been having a tough time finding one that would really work well to optimssie both my setup and workflow, so was wondering if anyone had some recommendations of where to look. I've tried amazon, newegg, bestbuy, walmart, & IKEA and this one below from IKEA is the only one this seems close to what I want, but it doesn't have a pull out keyboard tray and the chasis shelf does not have enough headroom for a full ATX case. I like that is has elevated speaker shelves and elevated monitor shelf, but not even sure that the latter can support 2x 27" screens.

Basically, I am looking for something like this, but that can absolutely fit 2 27" screens side by side and have plenty of room for the full ATX chasis (and not blocking airflow for cooling), and have a pullout PC keyboard shelf. Also, would ideally be deep enough to my AKAI MPK249 right in front. Any suggestions on where to look would be appreciated!

I use an adjustable height desk from ikea (love it).

PC chasis is on a sperate cabinet near by. Only have 1 monitor, but i think that desk is also available at bigger size, or I cloud use speaker stands for the Focal too, to make more space.

I've got that one, had it about 3 years. Still solid and no rattling or weak parts. The shelves are height adjustable and plenty of space below for a towerGabryRox wrote:

Amazon: why not use an alternative

Thanks for the advice! Not sure why i didn't think to check MF or GC, but after finding what I really wanted on MF for a whopping $500, i checked out GC and luckily they had it on sale for $350! Still more than I was planning to spend and maybe a bit overkill for my current setup, but this will literally be the last desk I will ever need and give me plenty of room to grow!
