Armoires seem to be getting very common in the average household now. But why would you want to spend good money on a computer armoire when you can buy a simple computer desk for half the price or less? When you consider everything that goes with a computer it's a pretty space intensive item. There's the box of course. then there's the monitor, often a very big one nowadays. There's the printer, and perhaps the fax that goes along with it of course, there's the scanner if it's not part of the printer, routers, cables and lots more. It always seems that computers and associated paraphernalia need about 3 miles of cables and a dozen or so power boards.
