Why upgrade if they still like the desk? I guess the computer itself is behind the closet door on the right, and ventilation probably isn't great in there. And the niche for the monitor might be a bit too small for a 27" or even a 24" screen, but removing the top shelves and adding a couple of vent screens for ventilation would solve those issues.
No, people bought them for cheap in the '80s because they must have been mass produced because I'm pretty sure everyone had one including our family, and still had them in the '90s.
Wow, that looks almost exactly like my desk design wise. Only difference is the design of the 2 drawers hinge and the leg area has an overhang to put your feet up.

I forgot about those big computer tower hot boxes in computer desks. Good times.

Now I'm jealous, my masturbation center didn't have that nice hutch on top of the desk.

You can get a similar effect at a park bench

Unfathomably disappointed that the caption doesn't say masturbation station.

I prefer the term Masturbatorium or Wanktorium in British English.

okay but that desk is 1980s.
that flat screen computer monitor tells me that whoever owns that desk has not been upgrading his furniture to keep up with the changing times.

That tower hutch suggests '90s, really.

First of all, why would you put something with fans inside your desk?
Second of all, you guys didn't use CRTs back then?

You mean your masturbation center?

Being obsessive about cleanliness, I simply couldn’t do it there. 😕

Two monitors and a lot more RGB, also the cheapest desk Amazon/IKEA had.
