Desk catches up with cords

While I'm not a fan of the style, I am enthused about a desk that actually hides cords. Electric devices have been desks for my entire life. It's about time.

If you dig the style you can order a whole office to match. Then you can hire a severe German receptionist to act with disdain.

I want it just for the fish tank!

yeah, the fish bowl is what got me too. the rest isnt really all that unusual. cubicles and such have used at least some of those ideas for awhile now like cable ports and the like.

still might be a nice little set up though

I've had cable management built into several of my desks, and even the exterior of one of my computers, so I don't see the big deal there- the fish tank's pretty cool, though.

I see a difference between "cut a hole in the top of the desk" and "your table hides all cords from view without a bulky backstop...all cords plug into the table which then plugs into the wall....no more kicking the power strip with your feet".

I'm not talking a hole cut in the top of the desk either.

I've had outlets recessed into the underside of the desk, with a pair of outlets uptop for the monitor and system; one plug from the desk goes to the outlet (or APC unit).

Love the concept but hate the execution.

Cool, where did you get it?

You may no longer be kicking a power strip but now you'd be kicking the center post under the desk. Much more annoying I'd think.

Well, I currently don't have either of those (I had two different ones with the same setup); my uncle modified store bought desks, from an article in a 1964 Popular Science. It was one of those "Wordless Workshop" things about organizing a tool bench, and he just used that as a basis.

I miss the last desk, it stayed with my parent's house when I moved out (BIG oak desk)
