Your desks, show them to me

I will always remember the day I brought home my new 17" crt.
Was so big I had to get a corner desk to fit it on or I wouldn't had any room for my keyboard and beer.
So I've been looking and looking for an l-shaped desk big enough for what I want, Couldn't find one. Plenty of l-shaped desks out there but they aren't really all that big and they want ridiculous prices for not much of a desk. So i decided to build one
6x8, 2 tier, top tier for monitors. Center 'shelf' is for 42" tv that i always seem to have at least 1 spare sitting around. Still have to drill holes in the center of each 'section for cabling and wire management, probably a day or so of sanding. The wood actually has a nice grain to it, so im just going to clear coat it when im done. Also adding lights. I have 2 long power strips with breakers for underneath.
The left side will be for my 3d printer and a blank workspace for projects.
So far total cost is $389. Probably be about $430 or so by the time I'm done. Took about 5 hours to get to this point. Everything is roughed in, but its all lined up and squared off.
Haven't quite figured out where the PC will go. I don't want to just sit it on the ground

Good project. Do not cheap out on the support

i thought just the wood would have enough support, its pretty sturdy and it probably would for a while. but years down the road its going to bow. So i built a 2x4 frame underneath
