Custom Studio Desks

I've been reading through many of the DIY desk options and have basically figured out what I need to do. I'm 16 so my gear is limited and pretty pathetic but i'm working towards more. I'm looking to make a desk to replace my L-shaped desk (horrid for studio work) so me and my brother were looking to build one ourselves. I have the basic plan as a:

Main desk for piano keyboard, beatpads, ect.
Drawer for computer keyboard, mouse, phone, quick access stuff, ect.

Then I want 2 racks on either side angled towards me on top of the main desk for interfaces and preamps but am not sure what widths to make them.

Lastly a center board across where my monitors will stay.

What widths are most full size interfaces and preamps, ect. And do you have any other tips or idea for me, i'm really interested and would like this to be able to last me for a while until the point where I have so much gear I need to upgrade (Hopefully not for a while)

Thanks! spacer

Rack gear is 19" wide.

If you build a rack, you have to make the internal dimensions of the space 19.25" wide, as the rack rails you need to install have a thickness around 1/16" - 1/8"..unless you counter sink the rails into the side panels.
