Build your own nice sturdy big desk for ~200$ or be prepared to shell out over 700$ for one that you describe. I assume you mean a SOLID wood canopy type desk. One with a huge monitor space for your CRT, and a few side cupboards. I have searched well for a medium sized desk of about 48 inches, found none under 500 made of solid wood. I actually bought mine from a relative for 100$ wanting to remove it and save space as they only use a laptop now.

Make sure it smells of rich mahogany.

What I might do is try to get someone to rebuild the desk and while they are at it put in a full width keyboard tray. For one it could be a lot more sturdy if the try was attacked to the actual sides of the desk instead of the bottom on the top board. In addition having a 62" keyboard tray is great especially if you got a wide keyboard like I do. Normally I only have 10" of space for my mouse to move left and right which is why I have always played with such high sensitivity. The real key would be having a new tray built that is that size as it needs to be strong enough to resit about 1000N of impact force.

Easy solution ^.

Cut out the old wood and rebrace the desk. Add a cross support for the back.

2 side rails, 2 under rails with underlying braces, done.
