I'm thinking of this for my new MacMini setup. Is the back of the top shelf open, and what is the inside height of the open space in that top shelf?

Sorry - I was traveling. The back is not open; but the wood is strong enough that you could drill a custom hole or two in it. I use it for remote storage... As for the opening, it is 2 1/2 inches tall. Hope this helps. I really like the quality of the piece.

There is no opening at all in the back of the stand. The drawer can go in either upper or lower shelf.The interior measurements of each shelf is 12" wide x 2 1/2" high x 11 1/2" deep.

The back of the top shelf is closed. Inside dimensions of the top shelf: 2.5 inches high; 11.75 inches deep; 12.25 inches wide. The shelf height is sufficient to stack an Apple Superdrive on top of a Mac mini. The current Mac mini is 1.4 inches high and the Superdrive is 0.67 inches high. The consumer can cut out openings in the back for cables. It would be a good idea to enlarge any opening in back sufficiently to provide better ventilation for the Mac mini. The Victor product is attractive and your installation would be handsome.

Back isn't open but you could easily drill holes for wires. I'm out of the office but the opening is about 2 inches.... I don't think the mini would fit in the slot

Negative, the back is completely sealed on both shelves, however would probably be very easy to drill a hole with a hole saw if you're handy and wanting to wire through there (presumably this is what you're trying to accomplish). The inside height of both shelves is just over 2.5 inches.Hope this helps.

Yes, the space between the two shelves is insufficient for the 27" iMac, same problem here. Riser under the monitor positions it too high for me, so that's not a solution. I am in the process of cutting one of the side shelves and then refinishing the edge with laminate tape you can get at Home Depot. It needs around 3" cut-off (make sure to measure twice, I am just going off the top of my head for the comment here). That might be an idea for you as well.

Our iMac tilts to accommodate. Even though you only have 3 in. clearance, it should be about just enough room for it. My husband LOVES his tango bar and likes how it goes with the look of his iMac. See if you are able to tilt your screen upward a bit and if so, then you shouldn't need to worry about the clearance.

The shelf under the keyboard does not seem to move-looks like it is permanent. Your monitor will definitely fit-the top shelf is adjustable and you can put it at the upper level, no problem

The overall height cannot be changed. The top is 19 1/2 inches deep front to back 29 wide. The movable pull out shelf is 24 4/4 wide and 13 1/2 inches deep. There are 2 additional sets of holes in which you could put both the top pull out shelf and the bottom shelf. You can adjust those two up or down, however, not the top one. It is fixed. The bottom I think is for a printer. I could easily fit a screen and computer on the top. I only have a 17 inch lap top however and use the pull out for my keyboard. Your own height is important. It can be used with or without the swivel feet to adjust the height a little. Some taller people merely use a 2 X 4 under each edge to raise it up. I hope this helps.

Hello, Steffan F--I have an iMac 27" desktop PC and there's room enough for that plus an 18" by 10" lamp, one DVD drive, 2 sets of 8"x11 1/2" printing papers and one 12"x12" book placement guard.--So I believe that your monitors should have room enough on the shelves of this tower!

My MAC {20 1/2 inches} fits and looks comfortable in that space. I don't have a printer but there is at least 15 inches to the right of the MAC. I hope this helps you decide. the desk itself is great.

It is a full size unit, so from front to back, a shallow rack won't work, because you won"t be able to put the covers on. That was a show stopper for me. As far as height, it is 2 x U, but what about the gear you plan to put on the shelf? How tall is it? The shelf iis padded, so you don't have 2u for your gear... So 3u rack case doesn't give you much height, so you won't be able to slide the shelf closed with gear on it.And what about cables? I would have to say no, a 3u case is not tall enough. You need 1u under the shelf for cables and depending on your gear, a minimum of 2u above... So keepin it real, 6u full size rack case. Hope this helps.

Yes. The top shelf is entirely open at both the back and sides, and the bottom shelf (the one with the front sliding door panels) has one circular opening, perhaps 2" in diameter, in either side of the back panel. There is no interior dividing panel on either shelf -- it's open from side to side so you could put wide things there if they fit. The suppport posts are on the corners and the back centers only.

I am not at home, but I remember that the keyboard shelf slides out as far as it is pictured. Perfect for a keyboard, not good for laptop. If you are using a laptop, you would not need that. You will be using it on the top of the desk. I have a 23" HP all-in-one PC up there right now. Plenty of space for a laptop up there. The opening, when the drawer front is down goes all the way to the back, so you can stash things back there.

Actually, my boyfriend's monitor didn't fit on it so I use it as a shelf for my jewelry. Plus it came broken, I should've returned it but I didn't. But it looks like its meant for apple monitors.

Inside the back has an opening where it sits very nice. It is a very nice spot to store and charge your components. Hope this helps.

Yes, there's plenty of space. I uploaded a photo of my set up. Hope it's helpful!

Well...my trusty Stanley Fat Max tape measurer shows 6 1/4" clear space between the shelf and bottom of back bar (1x2). Hope that helps.

The CPU stand, no... The glass acts as a spacer. If you were to not install that piece of glass, the table would not assemble level. As for the stand on top, you can't remove that either since the back left post threads through the glass into the back right stand mount. I can't remember if the top "nut" can be used from the glass of the shelf, or if it's attached. I also have an iMac and bought this as a cheap alternative to the desk I really wanted. I used the CPU shelf for my backup battery/power hub and used the top shelf for my wifi router. I have since purchased the desk I originally wanted. But this one served its purpose.

Hey! They are 3/4 opening. I was about to respond full until I just opened it just now. Thought that was the standard? I might get a full opening one next time. But I am guessing it's 3/4 in order to prevent it from tipping over - ok so just checked again after reading the other users post and the brand I have is definitely 3/4 opening - however I have two file cabinets like this one made by office max and one by real space - the real space is full opening but the office max is 3/4'ths hope this helps

The shelf is removable so you should be fine, just make sure you measure the depth and you would need to cut holes in the back to allow for the cables. I'm really happy with the piece. Good luck!
