Where can I buy a workstation designed for a G5 iMac?
I just bought a new 160GB iMac for my son (17" screen). The unit is currently sitting on his desk (it has a keyboard tray), but I would like to buy him a workstation that would allow me to place the scanner, printer, fax, DSL modem, PDA, and a few other peripherals in one place, rather than having them spread over different pieces of furniture with cables running all over the place. A corner unit would be great.

Is there any company that makes workstations specifically for Mac? I ask because many of the ones I've seen are made to accomodate bulky monitors and computer towers, ie: they're designed for the typical Dell POS, not the all-in-one-super-skinny-body G5 iMac (I certainly don't need a shelf or basket to hold a tower when there isn't a tower). I'd love to get something that is iMac friendly, especially if buying from such a Mac-aware company would help their business.

Any suggestions?

1. Google imac furniture
I found one link, but it seems too bare bones for what you want.

2. You could design your own, using something like Elfa.
Bed Bath and Beyond Reason carries a lot of Elfa components, and I can vouch for most of them.

We're laptop users exclusively, so I use mine with a laptop table and a very elegant little lady's escritoire.

3. Pick up a MacWorld magazine at the bookstore
The back pages are crammed with ads from companies, and some of them build furniture just for Macs.
