Operator station
Here is my computer cabinet; behind the bottom doors are the CPU in its original tower along with the tangle of wires and the surge-protector. The top doors hide papers and disks.
After this image was taken I installed a small shelf behind the mouse pad as a catch-all to place whatever I was holding so I could use both hands to type.
The mouse pad is tiny because I prefer keyboard shortcuts but still use the mouse occasionally; the mouse is configured so that the cursor travels far with the tiniest mouse-move.
There is an intake cooling fan through the back wall with a small AC/furnace filter between it and the outside.
The only wires out of the back are the power cord and parallel cable.
The cabinet is on quality casters so it rolls easily.
I tried to cover the top with clear acrylic but the glare was a bother so now I just place a piece of cardboard over the works when done.
Hope this helps!
