Actually, you're not far off the mark with that 'build it myself' comment.

I think you will find most office systems, the affordable ones especially,
but even the heavies like Herman Miller, are seriously lacking when it comes
to the multi-computer professional.

Most office systems are simply not that flexible, or allow enough desktop
space. They are cluttered with useless storage spaces, and silly things like
built in cd racks, which hold 5 cds. Feh.

I'm fortunate to have a rather large finished attic to use as my office, in
which I have one large (12' long by 4' wide) conference table as my desk.

It easily holds 3 computers. Couple of printers, a scanner a phone, and
lotsa paper.

That arrangement might not work for you...but something to consider would be
making desks from solid core, unfinished doors, purchased from your local
Home-Depot or wherever. Use file cabinets as table legs. If the doors come
with pre-drilled doorknob holes - Viola. Cable router.

Cover the table/door surface with the vinyl covers architects use on
drafting boards. Available at any good art supply shop, or drafting supply
shop. Then the surface is great for writing on, and you don't need a coaster
for your favorite frosty beverage.

You could put doors against three walls in your room, and have wall to wall
to wall desktop space.
