I have been googling the heck out of this in the groups and on the web
and can't seem to locate this. A while back I ran across either a
website or perhaps pics in a.p.b.woodworking (perhaps a member of this
group??) of a guy that built a modular setup for his new home office. He
made a bunch of stackable boxes - some with cabinet doors as I recall,
one box had the computer in it, and had a desktop that hung between a
couple of the boxes with what looked like French cleats on the side of
the boxes. He described discovering later that what he had built could
be termed "Tansu". Simple functional design that looked really nice. My
GF wants an office in the spare bedroom and I'd like to build her a set
something similar to these and would like to see them again. Any help
locating a link is appreciated. Thanks

This should be what you were looking for:
