I did think of doing something like that, but I've been offered a steel
desk. The old one will be moved to lighter duties elsewhere - I have
computers all over the house - doesn't everyone? (OK, I don't have
computers in the kitchen and bathroom, but give me time...)

The future was never like this!
The desk on which my main Mac sits is made of
this stuff and is
sagging
under the weight of the two monitors. That's
only a year old.
Needless
to say it's scheduled for prompt replacement
with a steel desk!
Cheaper solution: get 2 or 3 lengths 1" square steel tube (Dexion
Speedframe or equivalent), drill 3/16" holes through them every 12" -
18", and screw them to the underside. That'll stiffen it enough. I've
got some benches that are made rather like like that, and I can stand
on them without them sagging.
