    Hi,
    I am thinking about buying a computer desk for my Pc tower (cooler master cm 690 iii case),
    23 inch ASUS VX239H monitor and a Razer Deathstalker keyboard.
    The desk i want to buy is 61 cm deep (24 inch).
    Is that depth enough for a 23 inch IPS panel monitor?

    What is the depth of your computer desks?

    I want to make sure that it wont be too shallow before i buy it.
    I don`t want to keep my face to close to the monitor screen.
    What do you think about this desk :
    JULIAN BOWEN SURFER STUDY DESK
    I am not allowed to attach links as I am a new user :(
    When you google it it and press images it will be the first picture displayed.
    I am thinking about placing my pc tower on the top of that desk on the right side.

    2 feet deep? it might be ok for the pc stuff. however it may be an issue for your legs? i know i wouldn't be able to stretch out at all.
    my desk is 31 inches and just enough.
    but i'm not sure if that 2 feet includes the keyboard tray. if it does, then too small. if not, then it will be fine

    Could you post a link or picture how does your desk look ?
    31 inches is quite deep. I am sure that would be very comfortable.
    I might rethink that and get a deeper one.

    I use a 60cm deep desk, but with monitor arms they're actually closer. Its a "standard" size (lots of ikea stuff is 60) and should be fine.

    I use a 60mm desk as well, and for me, it's a little on the small side. If your desk is not going to be up against a wall, it's not as much of an issue though.
