So about 2 weeks ago I got this desk from SoundCraft Station and I have it all setup as a workstation for both music and well... work. Thought some may find this cool, so there´s the pics. I am currently using my NS2 SW on the desk but these pictures were taken when my NS 88 was on the desk. The good thing is that it's quite easy to put it there.
I have all my cables going on the back of the desk. On the left side monitor stand I have my trusty Mackie VLZ3 802 with my Onyx Blackjack on front (to easily control my computer´s audio level). I take advantage of the open back of the monitor stand to have all cables run through the back and leave a clean-cable free desk space. On the bottom I put a 6-Outlet Surge Protector that I power use to power up/down my mixer, speakers and keyboard. That's so I do not have to struggle turning on the Speakers or the mixer.

I like it, gives it a bit of a vintage feel. Surprisingly, that Alienware PC under it doesn't even look that much out of place with that color
Edit: maybe you could mount some kind of sliderails inside it, so you can slide out the Stage far enough to use. Or does it already have those? I do see some metal bits at either end of the surface the Stage is standing on.

And I also thought the same about the alien ware. I was considering getting another case for it but the Color fits so well I decided to keep it.

Sorry furniture isn't really my area of experience.But the display you present for us is inspiring and very professional.I agreed what's said above.Its dead easy and pretty difficult to go wrong.
So here are a couple of more photos. One shows how the keyboard actually slides out. The other one was taken today, you can see some stuff were added plus you can see papers being acumulated
