Abstract

A desk incorporating a full-function computer, multimedia, and networking systems that are concealed from view, but are readily accessible to the user through a user interface that enables the user to interact with and control the systems and devices integrated with the desk. The desk includes a digital equipment rack system (80) that houses and interconnects a wide range of computer and multimedia components (81, 88), and permits facile upgrades and expansions of these components. The desk integrates the rack in a manner that attenuates noise generated by associated electronic components while facilitating the cooling of these components. The computer and multimedia systems incorporated by the desk may be accessed and controlled through a user interface that includes a display device (26) with which the user interacts with the central data-processing unit.
