Cyberjaya to KL - Moving My Home

Follow-up to How to deal with change: Workplace moving to a different city

To cut the story short, I will be moving homes in the middle of July. Will be moving to Dataran Prima, which is at the Kelana Jaya area. I've rented a room in a 3 room condo, and the rent is almost double what I am paying now. By staying there, my choices of commuting to work has been vastly improved, since I can just take the rail. In fact, driving there isn't such a bad idea either, so I plan to take the LRT (Light Rail Transit) most of the time, and drive when I'm in the mood (or if I have any after-work activities).
So yes, back to my future home, it's a medium sized room, with absolutely NOTHING at all, except a ceiling fan. So, for the next month, I will be pretty broke having to procure furniture. In fact, I've already set eyes on some stuff from IKEA, but the stuff there ain't exactly cheap. In fact, mad shark tells me that Puchong has a few furniture shops that sell pretty decent stuff. Thing is that, there are quite a number of furniture shops there, I have no idea where to start. Can someone start me off?

Basically, I would need:

• Wardrobe
• Single bed mattress, with optional frame (considering a sofa-bed, but I would have to sell my balls to afford them)
• Shelves (I've already found my dream shelf at IKEA. If you have the 2006 catalog, it's pg. 62, Enetri shelving unit.)
• TV stand, with space for my DVD player and PS2.
• Work desk. This has to be compact enough. Something like pg. 142 or pg. 152 (Mikael)

If I had gotten all of the above from IKEA, I would be rm2000 poorer at the end of the day. Therefore, I wouldn't mind considering 2nd hand goods either, so if you know a deal or two, shout out :)
In fact, there are 2nd-hand furniture notices pasted around IKEA, perhaps I should start with those too.
