Operation HoboDesk™ almost complete.

- bought $6 slab of wood-like material from IKEA as-is
-bought 4x $5 VIKA CURRY table legs
-found out sheet of 'wood' was cheap for a reason, its a hollow (in most places) headboard for a MALM bedframe
-take thin but incredibly dense wooden-fibre desktop from old disassembled desk
-use that to strengthen top sheet of wood and provide mounting place for legs

I estimate the weight to be around 60 pounds. LOL. Makes my 27" monitor look tiny.

Now I'm just looking for a dollar store multi-coat hanger (ones that hook onto the top of doors). After I play with the brackets a bit I'll mount that to the underside of the desk , so I can do cable mgmt later with the surge protectors etc.
