Parts:

* $20 - 4 legs + desk board: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S79831622

* $20 or less: boards from a hardware store, dimensions:

- top monitor stand backing + side boards: 3 of ~12"ht x 10"depth

- bottom backing + side boards: 3 of ~12"ht x 15"+ depth (can be narrower in depth if lean against wall)

- monitor stand board: width desired x depth of monitor side boards

- desk board: free with the ikea legs. If want different dimensions, depth should be at least 18" so monitor can further away from you.

- bottom legs attachment board: width desired x depth of corresponding sides

* optional: $20 plastic sliding keyboard drawer to keep papers/notes. Got mine from Frys.
