DEC did have a nice desk with a builtin short rack, it
was sold with
PDP-8s used for small business office applications. It looked like a
regular desk, but the left side was actually a 19" wide rack. It held a
BA-11 and a dual 8" floppy box. For our customers that was more popular
than the "designer" panels.
I actually have one of those desks (I bought it from DEC Salvage about
12 or so years ago). Yes, the left side had a 19" wide set of standard
rails... but there was also a 19" wide set of rails on the right, only
accessable from the back. This was a perfect spot for a power
controller.
