Looking to purchase some sort of desk workstation that has rack mount capabilities for the Axe III and other music equipment. Looking for ideas on what others here use.

Thanks,

I hate everything- the cheap stuff isn't useful/practical- and the cool/decent/useful stuff is just insanely expensive.

I have an Omnirax Control 24 desk- it's probably worth more than the Control 24 itself

I really wish there was a reasonably priced 88 key option.

I've been contemplating for years having 2 desks in the studio- a big console and then a small one with it's own computer monitors, studio monitors and just a keyboard workstation for recording keys-

K&M makes a keyboard stand that you can put wheels on- but it's impossible to find and they've not helped me locate one to buy in the US- so I gave up on them.

While I'm offering no decent advice- I'd check local craigslist once a week for used studio furniture and desks- they pop up often enough and you can find the best value there

Looks like a really nice desk. Hard to tell from the pic, but do those have padded arm rests?
 
Yes, padded arm rests. It also has a slide out keyboard tray that I haven’t installed yet.
 
I think the Output Platform desk looks pretty nice, and reasonably priced compared to some of the insane prices I've seen on some studio desks.

Looking on YouTube, there are a number of people that build their own in the style of a lot of the popular ones. Doing it right means a lot of time and tools though.
 
Whatever you get, I highly recommend you get one w/wheels on the desk. I just re-carpeted my studio room and was darn glad my desk had wheels on it, otherwise I would have to take it apart, as it was too heavy to move around.
 
After a year long process I finally ended up get the Output Platform desk (thanks spagthorpe) along with 2 sidecars they sell as well. Compared to the competitors chipboard desks for around the same price the Output was a no brainer. The only downside to the desk is that it seems to be too short for a lot of 88 keyboards - including my Roland Fantom 8 - I knew this before hand and not sure it would have held the weight of that keyboard anyway. Here are some pictures

The desk is great, looks like it will be a hell of a workstation....but I wanna see the rest of that guitar, what is it? Kinda looks like one of those rare Peavey HP's.
