Ikea Ivar Computer Desk

Following re-organisation of our attic room, a desk was lost, and a replacement space for the desktop PC was needed. 
As storage around the walls of the attic room was now all Ivar shelving I wanted to use Ivar shelving to provide a suitable space for the computer whilst occupying minimal space when not in use. 

Thus the Ikea Ivar computer desk was born. 

Step 1 The Shopping List

So what do you need from you're local ikea to build an Ivar computer desk. For this instructable I had a height constraint due to the 'eves' of the roof space meaning that the smallest Ivar side unit of 124cm height was ideal. You can of course use any height you choose.
