The OFFICE - Electro-entopic Satellite OffiCenter
The home page on the Web states that; "The OFFICE is the highest quality, best engineered PC enclosure in the world." Judges at NeoCon, the prestigious World's Fair for Interior Design, Facilities Management & Communications, agreed, awarding The OFFICE Grand Prize in the Home Office category.
Offered in a choice of fine furniture finishes or sturdy laminate exteriors, The OFFICE, designated by Fortune Magazine as a "Product To Watch", and featured live on the NBC TODAY Show, comes complete with a full-sized ergonomic chair (with articulating arms), which can be closed up inside, completely concealed from view when The OFFICE is closed and locked. The OFFICE is mobile. All models have been equipped with a built-in Lift & Roll jacking mechanism, designed to facilitate in-house relocation, without the need to dismantle computer equipment or remove files. All models of The OFFICE feature MIGA/BIB electric monitor lift and conceal function, providing completely unobstructed desk space when required for non-computing functions.

Weaknesses:
We're certain we'll think of something... Eventually. But this
product has been incredibly well thought out. No, it's not cheap. But
neither is it terribly expensive. There are a LOT of models, starting with the
newest introduction, The Learning Station line of convertible workstations
which allows your computer equipment to appear and disappear from view on command,
priced from around $1295, (the budget priced model, the
LS-512 model
of The Learning Station is brand new and totally amazing, converting from desk
to computer workstation to a dining table for two!) and ranging on up
to the top of the line CEO model in genuine mahogany, which comes with everything
included (and we do mean everything, from the ergonomic chair right down
to the built-in speakerphone) for around $8900. If you require: exceptional
quality, common sense, ergonomic and safety conscious design, along with incredibly
practical engineering, in a beautifully designed product that you can expect
to last , you definitely won't be disappointed.
Construction:
No particle board on any models. CEO and Professional Models are Marine quality
plywood in your choice of high quality Mahogany or Oak veneers. Back (also marine
quality plywood) has removable outer Masonite full-length protective panel
for wiring and cable storage chamber. Corrosion proofed, Powder coated steel
interior components. The CEO and Professional are pre-equipped with everything
that makes sense. A number of new models are also being introduced.
Pricing: From $1195 to around $8900.
Published Reviews:
From the Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel-"Every once in a while, someone comes out with a product so good that it deserves a standing ovation. The uncontested winner at [A.S.I.D.] Design Spectrum ‘95 was The OFFICE, a high-tech workspace in a box that looks like an armoire. We’ve seen many pieces of furniture designed to hide computer equipment at the International Home Furnishings Market in High Point, N.C., but none equals this one... This is the perfect solution for small.. living spaces where a guest bedroom often doubles as an office... it’s a smarter idea than hiring a carpenter to do built-ins. This is a mobile investment".
