I recently bought a computer desk for $30, and a 7up crate for $5. I bought both of them at garage sales. I used 7-up crate to hide a massive amount of clutter. Inside the crate, I put two external hard drives, a fan to cool the hard drives, an extension cord, 3 AC adapters, and a lot of wires.

*The black box on top of the 7up crate is a battery backup system for my computer.
