I think you've really got the right idea there. Even my pc which is in an old crappy case isn't something I want to hide. A desk that keeps it out of the way, easily accessible, and accentuates its presence is much better than one that assumes I'm ashamed to have a computer. That said plenty of drawer space for other stuff is great.
There's one problem that frustrates me about it: horizontal computer cases are kind of difficult to find. There's a space in my desk where you'd think a top drawer would go, it's about 18cm high, 36cm wide and 56cm deep. It should be a cinch to fit a PC in that volume, my mini-tower almost would, and it's bulkier than strictly necessary, lot of room behind the motherboard tray for wiring, etc. You could definitely make a m-ITX small form factor build fit. Because I did. A Fractal Node 202 just barely fits, but the case is so narrow that cooling is WAY compromised, and few other cases make sense.
