Lots of IKEA desktops were made with corrugated cores, as in giant cardboard honeycomb. Good luck in your drilling adventures! Most (all?) "IT" style racks require nuts, broadcast/radio/telecom racks typically have threaded holes. I have to deal with the latter type in my day job. Check out Home Depot's Husky lineup of workbenches. They come in a couple different sizes and some have manual sit/stand cranks (slow but reliable!). They're meant to be workbenches but they make great desks. Add a cable basket to the bottom of the desk to store cable slack.
