Was looking to build a computer desk relatively cheap. Had initially picked out an ikea desk but after reading a bit closer, it may not support the weight of 3 large monitors, a printer, and keyboard tray. Anyone have a good DIY computer desk or ideas for a suitable table top that's roughly 60 inches wide?

I created a desk with 1.75" thick butcher block and used three of these legs. I put two 72" x 32" butcher block boards together in an L-Shape with a metal bracket and internal bar joining the two blocks together for strength. It's a massive desk that is incredibly strong and heavy. Everything together it was about $500.00 for everything. You could probably cut that in half if you use just one block and two legs.

Then you can take a look again. I bought a wooden table from an online home furnishing website called Auspoints before, and it was good.

You should consult with the designer.

Get a solid core tabletop like mdf, plywood or one of those wooden panels made out of glued scraps. Or a decent solid core door.

Get some metal table legs made to be directly screwed to the table top, or get some small cabinets to screw underneath. Either directly screw though the underside of the cabinet or use some wood to attach the tabletop to the sides of the cabinet on the inside or outside edge of the cabinet.

Otherwise your looking at woodworking.
If you go the wooden panel or door route you definitely want to check how they look or if it is the right type of door.

Get a wooden slab made of plywood & use a wood sander to sand the surface to make it even. You can use a small pen lathe to turn its wooden legs & attach them with screws to the bottom of the slab. This will be the cheapest solution mate. This will cost you $30-$50 max. You may also use epoxy resin to give the slab a unique texture.
