Table-top Design

After many years of suffering numerous cable and space problems at schools with conventional computer laboratory setups(computers on shaky classroom desks in rows), this new table-top design has made our lives (and that of our school clients) so much the easier and more affordable!

Using locally purchased shutter-board cut to size and shape by a local contractor, these circular table-tops are shipped to schools where they are mounted on the school's reject (broken) classroom desks - five old desks per table-top.Each circular table-top can comfortably hold 5 PCs/monitors, with sample room on either side of the keyboard for papers and text books.

Where necessary, 10 learners can comfortably work at these computers. All cabling is routed through the centre hole, and either linked by ceiling "rose" conduit piping or with metal floor conduit piping. Cost? N$ 600 per table-top; so for a classroom with 20 computers, the furniture cost is N$ 2,400. Savings? Huge, in terms of significantly fewer maintenance and problem-solving trips to remote schools throughout Namibia!
