I build furniture as one of my hobbies.   Therefore I could build a 
custom, made to fit, each piece of equipment enclosure or desk. However, 
my station is in a reconfigured built in book case system. Cabinets are 
located below with doors, and above,  shelves are extended to depths of 
12" to 18" for equipment and operation, extend to the ceiling.  Plus it 
is some 6 ft wide.  A series of holes in each shelf allows running 
cables left to right and up and down. Over some 20 years it has 
contained and supported various pieces of equipment from a fully 
configured Collins S Line plus a 5 transceiver accumulation and now down 
to two transceivers and one amplifier and tuner.    Being on the 2nd 
floor of the house, all feed lines and rotor control traverse the attic 
and drop down through the ceiling to the tuner and coax switch 
arrangement at the operating position.

The point being.........flexibility is a must with any installation and 
configuration.
