Roger,
Was it your intention to send me to OfficeMax to look at the "Vantage
Collection Corner Desk, Light Dragonwood"? If so, I fail to see any
relationship between this desk and the engineering of a tower's internal air
flow, other than the fact that this desk doesn't provide much in the way of
fresh air for the tower. It would, however, go a long way towards helping
the student's feet stay warm during late night study sessions (or WoW
fragging).
Perhaps you should hold onto those bridges a little longer. lol
Peace,
Gman
