I saw this show advertized and thought about checking it out.

Thanks for the reminder.

With Chi Lan Lieu .

They had this really neat "Computer Desk" where the computer is built into the desk . Kind of the ultimate case mod for the office.

Looks like they took the easy way and left most of it in the case and used something from a major manufacturer as the basis.

But I guess it would not be too hard to do with a router and some of that solid surface material used for kitchen countertops ( or even wood or particle board and laminate).

Cut out a recess for the motherboard and channels for airflow and wiring and then cover with plexiglass or aluminum access panels.

Hmm, I may keep my eyes open for an old solid wood desk to modify myself.
