Sweet stuff!!!!

Now all you need todo is make a better keyboard tray... that one is entirely too narrow. Just go get a shelf board made of MDF and some matching contact paper, Measure/cut to the width you like and remount the slider brackets. Cheap and easy.

That's what I did and mine is now 38.5" wide (~1m)

Thanks Greebe that you understand that the majority of the users here aren't americans.

Despite the fact that I am an American citizen, I consider it strange that we refuse to standardize.....

I don't understand why the USA and the UK both still use imperial measures - American roads are all km and km/h, while UK is miles and mph. We measure and weigh in metres and grams respectively at least though!

Although, I couldn't tell you how many kgs I weigh - for some reason, our personal height and weight is largely imperial - some larger than others

Nope.
Not all American roads are km-km/h.
The USA is all miles and mph.

I think you may have the UK and US reversed...

Thats what I was thinking..the damn thing is too small..I have another desk that has wider shelf for the keyboard and I'll see if I can mount that one up.

You've got a massive desk man!
I wish I live in America...
(My desk is just enough for two 17"...)

get something like i have:

180×80cm (~70×31,5") desk in the corner facing right wall
120×80cm (~47×31,5") desk perpendicular to the first desk facing the left wall.

Previously I had a 60cm (23") deep desk and it was too narrow to fit a 17" monitor.

This is from manufacturer's site since I don't have a camera, I'll draw it up.

I honestly suggest checking out Ikea. You can get a 150x80cm tabletop for ~40 EUR, and four legs for under 15 EUR. And the things are pretty stable, too - I had no problems standing on my desk (I weigh about 85 kg).

Their Effektiv series is their "professional" range. It's a little bit more pricey, but offers great stablity (owned one), different shapes (rounded ends, etc), and matching furniture.

My computer unit is a pair of cheap 1000mm wide kitchen cupboards mounted one on top of the other with a homemade 30" wide and 21" deep keyboard/mouse shelf. It supports a 19" and a 17" iiyama monitor in the middle, a VCR and CD rack on top, and has a 1000va UPS, 2 midi-tower PCs, 1 desktop PC and a subwoofer underneath.
The keyboard shelf is just wide enough for an original IBM 102key clickey keyboard and a Ratpadz mouse mat, and deep enough for 2 keyboards.

BTW, the UK is all in miles an MPH. Some places you get km and kmh as well. Centimeters are too small to use for anything much over a meter. Inches are much better.

Centimeters are much easier
