Hello,
Do you guys use a separate printer stand or just use the printer platform on the desk? I'm thinking of getting one, but i don't know if it'll be any better than the built in one.

A separate stand is useful if you have a large printer or a photo printer because it reduces shaking. But otherwise I think it's just a waste of space. You might want one of those combo stands that hold a scanner too, like the ones described here http://www.pickyguide.com/computers_and_so...ands_guide.html.
