Just build your own to suit the space you need to fill.
Ikea have a decent range, or you can just get the legs and supply your own top.
Mine's not available anymore as it's about 15 years old (and just a 'desk' rather than a 'gaming desk'), but it has a metal frame with a wooden top - probably a bit big at 190x100mm, but it has 3-4 computers (gaming PC, iMac, workstation laptop, MacMini, iPad) on it at one time, 4 studio monitor speakers, printer, multiple external HDDs, etc. and it takes my 95kg weight when I stand on it to close the bedroom window
The underneath of mine is something like this...
Closest Ikea seems to do now is the Thyge, Kullaberg or the range - but they may all be too big/sturdy for you needs.
You can pick up an ex-office Herman Miller Abak desks for about £150...

I would also recommend IKEA, I have a Micke which is very simple, and you can configure it in different ways.
The Malm is also very nice.
They're both decent cost.
I've had mine for a while now (5 years) and it's really solid. I've even drilled into the top to mount a desk mount and it's all still really solid.
MICKE black-brown, Desk, 142x50 cm - IKEA
MICKE black-brown, Desk, 142x50 cm. A clean and simple look that fits just about anywhere. You can combine it with other desks or drawer units in the MICKE series to extend your work space. The clever design at the back hides messy cables.

MALM black-brown, Desk, 140x65 cm - IKEA
MALM black-brown, Desk, 140x65 cm. A clean design that’s just as beautiful on all sides – place it freestanding in the room or against a wall with cables neatly hidden inside. Use with other MALM products in the series for a unified look.

I have this. maybe a bit pricey, I dunno, but it's great. I needed something nice and it's my first actual dedicated gaming PC desk.
Would both of these be able to also hold the PC itself? I have a carpet floor so can't/ don't want to put the PC on that and my current Desk hasn't got the room for the PC and monitor together, unless I did you woodwork myself and added a space to it, which would be unwise I'd say hahaI would also recommend IKEA, I have a Micke which is very simple, and you can configure it in different ways.

That does look good, but just a bit to rich for me 😂 I do like the £100 option from Argos though of there own, that might be to big for the room though.

My one, the Micke certainly would. I had a ridiculously heavy powered speaker sat on it which weighed 13Kg which isn't far off the weight of a decent PC. The reason I particularly chose the Micke was that it's quite shallow in depth, so I mounted the screen on a desk mount rather than using the normal screen stand, which frees up all the desk space. I'm in quite a small room so it didn't take up too much space into the room.
The Malm is more normal depth.
The Malm if anything I think would be stronger.

I decided to miss the desk for now as this could do the job I think for a meshify S2 case? Got to do a lot of re arranging for a new desk so going to see how things go with a potential move soon.

It doesn't need to be off the floor at all these days, they're designed properly these days with pedestal feet to raise them off carpet.
Want to be safe than sorry if I'm spending £1800 😅 And for £14 it's not bad.
I ordered one of these for my setup, it’s actually a monitor stand but it works a charm for my dinky case. And it’s also got a nice bit of room underneath it for me to keep my peripherals stored when they’re not in use 👍

Oh, now that's really nice, wouldn't have thought about that, very clever

I’m going for the Arozzi Arena gaming desk cause I’m an idiot.
Apparently these are great. Great size. Comes with table sized mouse mat and cut outs for cable management. Pricy though.

My old pc didnt have pedestal feet so had to rest it on a piece of mdf. but my new one does.. still put it on the mdf that the old rested on... just about fit tho lol
Oooooh, that’s very nice. Cable management would be a dream and dusting would be so much easier! That’s definitely on the ‘what to buy when I win the lottery’ list.This is the one I will eventually have when I manage to successfully rob a bank:

I was looking at one of those originally, the S2 case is just to big for it going of measurement and the bigger glass panel sticks out too far for where I'd have to place the PC, it's why I'm going with those casters, seem like a nice alternative.
Is that a Desk that can also be a PC Case?This is the one I will eventually have when I manage to successfully rob a bank:

Yeah, you build the PC in the desk. It’s stupidly nice, height adjustable and all RGB also. It’s typical Lian Li taking things to the extreme.
