iMac Ikea Desk Hack iMovie11 Trailer

Modified Ikea desk for my iMac. I drilled holes in the desk to accommodate the cables which all run to a rain gutter attached to the wall below. The iMac is back lit with 4 LED strip lights from Ikea. The desktop also features an audio-technica AT-2020 usb microphone.
I got most of the ideas for the desk from other iMac users.
The video was shot with a Kodak PlaySport in 720p 60fps. For some of the shots I used my homemade $14 steady cam.
The desk is a Vika Amon table with Vika Moliden legs.
The video was edited using iMovie.

Hey bro, how much weight are these desks capable of holding? I have had some bad experiences with Ikea desks in the past, but I just absolutely LOVE the design/simplicity of it that I just have to get it.

The legs are made of steel and are very sturdy. The table top seems pretty strong, but is basically hollow, so I wouldn't load it up too much.
