Physically, it's the size and almost the shape of a desk, meaning
there's a woodgrain top and it can double as the console table.
However, what's under the desk is the processor, memory, I/O interface
cards, and power supply, which makes the whole lot kind of heavy.

Oh yes, and if you use it as the console table, look down by your
right knee for a power switch. Think about "right knee" and "power
switch" a bit, and then go find something to keep them safe from each
other. This will be faithful to contemporary practice; I've seen
cardboard taped over the switch, and also seen those magnetic covers
used by telco guys to cover mated 50-pin jacks (and stick them to a
nearby steel desk, cabinet, or radiator) in office settings.
