I currently have a pretty sweet desk at 55 inches by 24 inches, and it has been great but I have room for another that could run along the wall to my right. Would you rather have two desks arranged like the image below, or would you buy a single L shaped desk? 

I have roughly 55+24 inches length on one end, and 55 inches on the other to work with. Should I just buy the other desk and make a bracket to hold both together? I know my current desk is strong enough and the second would be the exact same desk just arranged up against the wall to my right, but the fake wood grain would not line up. My current desk would be flowing horizontally and the new one would be flowing vertically. I really like wood grain, even if it's just a plastic print on a piece of particle board. LOL

The goal is to put my server PC on the desk to the right freeing up space on my dresser or allowing me to buy a new dresser outright to replace the one I currently have set up like a TV stand.

Thoughts?

The advantages favor the two desk setup you have planned.  With one desk your limited to that arrangement which you can't modify easily and space may not be in its future.  Where two individual desks can be arranged in multiple configurations.

Go with the two.  That's my suggestion.

I would go with the two desk solution, but I would have their inside corners line up, leaving an open square in the corner.  Why?  You could put a light stand in there, or better yet - both computers could sit on a 3rd table or stand in that area.  Gaining access to the computers could be done by going under the tables, or by pulling one table out a few feet when necessary.  On the plus side, it would be more symmetrical.

I wouldn't put the computers in an area such as that, because it would be a nightmare to access them when maintenance or repairs are needed.  My computer sits on a small table between the wall and my desk and even though I have access, it is difficult to work on the machine when upgrades, repairs, or maintenance are needed.  It is an area with no access at all because of the two desks.

I do like the idea of the light though.  A pole lamp would be great for that area.

I like the idea of having a little open space per your suggestion, BigAl... You could put a nice floor lamp or plant there for the space!

But really... @cpurpe91, why not just stack the desks on top of each other to form MEGA DESK! 😂

I don't think I could handle that kind of power. The mega desk may be too much for me to handle. It would be the one desk to rule them all.
