I just received my new Samsung 245bw and a used 640MB 8800gts for some pc gaming but I'm having issues with my proximity to the monitor. Obviously, gaming with a PC often requires you to sit close to your display. For many gamers this isn't a prob but I find it too taxing on the eyes, Also, sitting away allows you to view the entire screen better.

I can't bolt my monitor to my wall (parents would go crazy). The only option I have is to either place my monitor further away from me or move further away from my computer. By the way, I want to keep my desk, so maybe a desk for my keyboard and mouse is necessary. The problem is I haven't found one. Can anyone recommend a (cheap... $50 max) mid-sized desk for a wireless keyboard and mouse? Thank you.

You may be able to find some cheap particle board crap-desk from Walmart or Office Depot... but under $100 is starting to get to the point where it's a "build it your self" kinda thing. Going to be tough to find something decent that cheap.
