- You know, why use a case at all? How difficult would it be to build
- a nice rolltop desk around a motherboard, monitor, power supply and
- disks? Lets see... the motherboard goes into a panel on the side.
- The power supply into a space behind the drawers. Ditto with the
- hard drive. The floppies can fit into recesses on the desktop. The
- monitor would be one of those flatscreen things and would fit under
- the rolltop cover.
-
- Imagine. Talk about a value-added product! 9-)
