H440 VS ENTHOO LUXE and Enthoo Luxe to big on a desk?

[PcNoob222]

So I need to know if the enthoo luxe white will be too big for my desk is it too heavy? Also which is better they are the same price so which is better? I am leaning towards the enthoo luxe.

What are you using as your desk, and what else do you have on it? If you're using a folding card table as your desk, they might be too heavy to put on it, otherwise it's probably only a risk if you have too much other equipment already on it. Both are good cases (although if you need a mounted optical drive, that rules out the H440). The Enthoo Luxe is a full tower which might be easier to work in, but other than that, I think it's a matter of aesthetic preference.

Consider this instead: https://www.amazon.com/Lifetime-80160-Commercial-Adjustable-Folding/dp/B003DYZQKY
According to the comparison table of similar models from the same manufacturer, it has a weight capacity of 850 lbs (compared to 110 lbs 4 oz for the Ikea Linnmon/Adils table). According to the Customer Questions and Answers, if the weight is evenly distributed, it can actually handle up to 1000 lbs.

I've had a bad experience with Ikea furniture, but now that I look closer, which Linnmon/Adils table do you have (or plan to get)?
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S29932181/#/S29932181 is the one I was looking at with a max load of 110 lbs 4 oz, but the only black color option for it seems to have blue legs.
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S49932670/#/S49932670 is available in black-brown/black, but doesn't specify the max load.

There's also http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S59133593/#/S99932173 and http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S49001965/ which are identified as "Linnmon/Adils".

Hmm how about this http://www.ikea.com/aa/en/catalog/products/S69004736/ or is there a better desk is ikea bad quality because it needs to lats like 5 years+

I'm not sure I'm all that qualified to comment on Ikea's quality, since my parents only bought one desk several years ago that broke after a few months, while the small rolling bookshelf with drawer unit that we got with it is still somewhat usable. It might be more of a "once bitten, twice shy" kind of thing. However, the build materials listed don't exactly inspire confidence:

Table top:
Top: Fibreboard, Ash veneer, Stain, Clear acrylic lacquer
Frame: Particleboard, Ash veneer, Stain
Filling material: Paper
Bottom: Fibreboard, Foil

Seriously, Ikea? Not even a solid piece of fibreboard for the tabletop, but paper filling? Also, I don't find any indication of a warranty period for that model.

For comparison, I'm using this table for myself: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005CZBWIW which is probably too expensive for you, too big, and not available in a color you'd like, but definitely feels like it's built to last.

Just drive around and I bet you'll find a decent desk. Just laminate it and it'll be like new.

Alternatively, how do you feel about building your own table/desk? iirc, many hardware stores will cut boards (and maybe dowels) to size for you, and possibly even discuss designs (searching for designs on the internet is likely to be information overload, with many that are too fancy or too MacGyver-ish for you), so that all you'd probably have to do is drill a few holes, add some screws, and then possibly add paint (or wood stain) to make it dark enough for your color scheme. I'm not certain, but I wouldn't be suprised if that could save you money over the Ikea furniture while still being more durable.

Yeah thanks I was thinking of that I will do that now and go to my local hardware store soon.

Thanks.
