My biggest concern was that my monitors were not adequately decoupled from my desk. So I went about making some monitor stands using PVC, dry sand and some nice wood from the hardware store.
I liked the varnished wood so much I decided to make a table for the screen that would provide neat storage space as well. Coupled with some basic cable management life is a lot easier, neater and the audio change was revolutionary.
