Remember when things used to come in fun colors! That Compaq Desktop on the front was iconic for the time. Most of the ones I've ever seen have the default blue/purple front. But you could actually get different colors for it!
Also, these VTech phones were available in fun translucent cases!

I have been on the look out for vintage computer furniture for years, I actually have some pretty cool pieces. But the one thing that eludes me is the *right* 00's desk. Look at how wildly varied they were back then! Integrated CD storage, printer shelves, raised CRT platforms. We had it all! I think it will be one of those "I know it when I see it" finds to get the right one. But these were made cheaply and most of them are really beat up now.
