New Workstation Required ???

[carlingman]

Hi All,

Having splashed out some hard earned cash on a new rig I think it is also about time it had a proper home so to speak.

Looking for a place to buy a reasonably priced workstation to house it in.

Prefer a wood based corner unit.

Also the hutch if it has one will need to accomodate a 19 inch TFT monitor.

Budget up to £100 maybe a little more if pushed.

Only other criteria would be preferrable if I could pick the unit up flat pack within the next couple of days from an outlet in the South Wales area.

Any advice greatly appreciated, so far Argos not looking too bad but the hutch size worries me as they are all for 17 inch CRTs.

Thanks

Check out Ikea. They sometimes do some.

You could have a look at Stationery Box. I have one of theirs - quite well made and good value. (Website doesn't really show products but does have store locator)

you could go al a zing and fit a piece of kitchen worktop against the wall does the job excellently lol

Unless the missus wants granite of course which is a nightmare to clean.

Think the extra cost was worth it as I tell her ' You wanted the fancy pants cooker and worktop so YOU clean it ' ..... LOL She's scrubin' the kitchen every day LOL

If you do go for one from Stationary box, create yourself a phantom business and turn up with a bit of letter head paper (printed mine on inket) and they give you a 10% discount card ;-)

Now I like that idea but do you want to explain to my misses why I have a piece of kitchen workshop hanging off the bedroom wall, if you do then you’re a braver man than me.

Cheers I will bear that in mind but will a Business Card Suffice or are they looking for letter headed paper.

Thanks all.

Another look at Argos and leaning towards catalogue number 6180175, cheap and cheerful option.

Bear in mind that a 17 inch CRT is going to be about the same size as a 19 inch LCD
