A desk pedestal for storing computer hardware and ancillary computer equipment and supplies which is specifically designed to hold and provide ready access to either a vertical tower or a horizontal central processing unit (CPU) and includes a built-in master power director for cord management and a hidden rear access means for easy installment of the hardware and ready accessibility to cords and other potential computer related problems. The desk pedestal may be used in either a desk or armoire and includes first and second interior compartments and at least one adjustable shelf which allows the user to choose between storing a vertical tower or horizontal CPU by adding or removing the adjustable shelf to create a compartment which is specifically dimensioned for storing either unit. The second compartment of the desk pedestal is designed to hold a plurality of slidable drawers specifically adapted for storing computer diskettes, CDs and miscellaneous items. The unique arrangement of the compartments and adjustable shelves of the pedestal enable the user to have quick and easy access to the stored items for optimal usage of the computer hardware and ancillary computer equipment and supplies.
