Default dream computer desk - looking for ideas

I want to make a computer desk that fits my unique needs -- I have a habit
of living from one apartment to the next, and I'm tired of wobbly throw-away
WalMart computer desks. I'd like more of a utility desk, but stylish,
something I can build out and change up from time to time. My idea is to use
plywood -- but instead of screwing the legs directly on, use metal fasteners
and machine screws so I can disassemble it easily, or add on a side shelf
module, or a leaf on the side to lengthen it later.

Must haves
- Must be modifiable as much as possible -- adjustable, modular, etc.
- Must be able to reassemble infinitely -- machine screws, not nails etc.
- Must be durable, can support 300lbs, no wobbling, shifting
- Must be comfortable - chair with arms can slide underneath, foot rest
under desk
- Must be simple design - no drawers, doors

Would be nice
- Lightweight, so moving day is not a problem
- Raise and lower easily (in seconds), with a lever maybe?
