DFP + Desk
I am hoping to attain a DFP later this X-Mas but I find one problem with doing so, the table that I have my computer set out on is very small, plus it has a key-board tray slide-out thing. So will a DFP attach to the table, if so I dont think I can see my monitor properly, or the tray, in which case it can. Or should I consider moving to a bigger desk, all DFP'ers please comment.
Should work properly.

Pictures say a thousand words Only definate no no is attaching a wheel to a sliding tray, both moves around to much and you will destroy your keyboard tray in the process.
i used to use the tray with no problems at all, so assuming its not too flimsyshould be fine. one thing though i found the clamps on the DFP to be slightly too long for my desk and had to stuff something between then to make it tight.. now though i have just changed the clamps
The DFP extends about 16cm back from the edge of the table.
The clamping mechanism will fit any desk up to about 5cm thick.
Hope this helps

You must have a pukka computer table then All the bearings popped out of my sliders so it fairly soon stoped the sliding issue
I migth just move back to my desk, because this talbe is about 60 cm wide and 55cm long, so I think I will not be able to see my monitor aswell as having trouble fixing the wheel. I only have a 15" monitor so if I fix the wheel dead in front of me, I will not be able to see the bottom half of the screen, with the bigger table I can stack books under the monitor, here there is just no room.

Just make your own i needed a keyboard tray so i went and got some high quality slider's, a 10mm thick piece of wood and made the tray and its survived 1 year of lfs with abuse to dfp.
