well after some time playing with the old setup, it was great for playing with ableton, but still left me longing to have my turntables in one unit. with that, I found a standing desk idea on ikeahackers.net. Its a standing desk that I attempted to build:

Downside to this design is you really need to be over 6ft tall and at my 5'10...this wasn't a great setup. I did however take a cue from it and made my own new set up. It is tall enough to accomodate me standing when I want a more "playing music" feel as well as low enough to sit in the chair and play out some chords and fully utilize my APC's. Shelves are nice and big on sides to hold a good portion of my records...and the expedit case is customizable to hold turntables or whatever gear I may get into down the road. And table space is plentiful. here's my final version for a mere $160ish through Ikea...

That's the desk I made out of the ikea shelves. Works out awesome for both storage...surface access...and can easily fit a 49key board on a slide out shelf.

Unless youre over 6 ft tho...forgo the lack shelf because it will stand huge.

You didn't mention any rack gear.

I ended up getting this desk.

Not too different from mine: Middle Atlantic MDV-DSK. Super stable & well-built. Mine is older & has 6U rack space instead of the 4U that they currently sell.
