Well, if it were me, I'd buy whatever computer case was cheap, had all the ports I wanted etc, and then just sit it beside the desk. If the wires are too short, try setting the case to the other side of the desk, moving the monitor slightly to the right or left etc. to make sure all the wires can reach.

Do you by any chance have a drawer above the compartment? If so, you might want to remove the drawer if the tower is too high, might give you another 4 to 6 inches of height.

Or as someone suggested, buy a new desk. Although, if it were me, you wouldn't catch me spending $100 on a fancy block of wood to prop my computer on; I'd sit the tower on the floor, keyboard in my lap, and mouse&pad on a night stand; save that money for more RAM LOL.


Puppy + cats = floor is no safe place for a computer.
No drawer, unfortunately.
