That's what I did about 5am this morning actually, I used my current desk and adjusted the shelf until it was at a height that I could stand and extend my arms out so they rested on the shelf and it's just a bit closer to my belly button then the middle for me

I'm leaving the corner open for now in case I end up extending it to my towers, but I'll have plenty of arm space no matter which laptop I'm working on
