Abstract
The use of computer case is just to put together computer parts. A computer case needs to be located either on top of the desk, on the side of the desk, under the desk or on the floor. Not only computer desk takes up space but also the computer case is not safe from being stolen. By integrating computer case/chassis with a computer desk, a space-saving issue and parts-being-stolen issue will be resolved. This is a very easy to maintain. It can be unlocked to open the drawer and blow dust. If the system needs to be upgraded then open the drawer swap the parts without going through unplugging, re-plugging or assembling, disassembling hassle. If the system needs to be completely repaired then the entire drawer can be taken out just like the way a regular drawer is moved out. The drawer functions same as computer case but it is integrated with the desk.
