688309 2008-07-12 23:27:00 Anyone know of any companies in Auckland area that stock a good range of computer desks/workstations.

I had a look in Warehouse Stationery but nothing there caught my eye.
Also looked at a few on Trademe, but nothing there I fancy either.

It is for my daughter so a bit of space for doing a bit of homework, space for a full tower case and a 24" LCD, maybe a bit of storage as well.

No need for printer or scanner space as these are networked and in another room.

688310 2008-07-12 23:33:00 A price range would be helpful
Eg
$500-$1000?
$1001-$1500?
$1501 - $2000?
$2001+
Platform preferences?

What does she use at school?

Just a note that although going 24inch will cost a bit it will also give you more desk space although 24inch with a Tower would be cheaper but require under desk storeage for the Tower.

Have you tried Dick Smith, Bond and Bond or Noel Leemings?

or a cheaper custom built alternative?

The other alternative would be a Mac mini plugged into an existing monitor since I assume it is for School Work rather than for gaming

688311 2008-07-12 23:53:00 Never normally give price much consideration. I see, I like, I buy:-)

Solid Rimu or Glass might be nice. Not a corner unit.

There will be a 22" Wide Screen monitor going in it as I already have that. But enough space for a bit extra is always good.

I already have the Computer to go in it, although over the next 6 months I will upgrade it to almost similar specs to my Sig.
It is currently a P4 3.2 in a full Tower case with 3 HDD's and 2 x DVD burners.

No, I have not tried Dick Smith, Bond and Bond or Noel Leemings at all yet, I never figured they had furniture, but will take a look.

688312 2008-07-12 23:56:00 Ah sorry, when I read "Work Station" I read it as an actual computer. Doh!

Try McGreals on Khyber Pass (just down from Auckland Boys Grammar). That is where I got my current work station for my iMac which I based on what I have previously used.

688314 2008-07-13 04:47:00 You will have a hard time finding a desk that will fit a full tower unless it is custom made Greven (91)
