Actually the plans are done in Visio.
Both computers as well as all wires will be mainly out of sight.
You'll see the two cd rom drives.

The top will be 30" from the ground.
There will also be a hutch that will rest on top of it that will be 4' high x 1' deep x 5' 5 1/4" wide.

I have a feeling i'll end up building my own... The one i want just does not exist.

I found one so fucking close to it the other month, in a sale too. Owned. However, my damn tower was too high for it and it wouldn't sit under... AHHHHHHHHHH!!

This is the hutch. It's not complete as I'm going over some of the details.

6' wide and 3' deep? That's massive.

What's the 'Mobo' spot? Are you building your pc into the desk itself or something?

That's about how big mine is, minus a foot in width.. Only way to get 3 CRTs on there without having them hang off the back of a desk by a foot

That spot will hold the CPU.
It'll be a box made of MDF and will have probably a plexi glass front.
It will tuck away in behind the drawers and will simply slde out when I need access to it.
The cd rom will actually sit just under the shelf of the hutch.

I'd like to get a couple or 3 TFT's eventually.
