Those desks are surreal. They have their own built-in power distribution and wiring looms, so all of the cords for monitors, the PC, sound, and so on are bundled out of sight. You only need to unplug one AC cord, trundle the whole thing down the hall, and plug it in when you get where you're going.
Indeed. Technically two chords (ethernet too!), though.

I assume electric guitars are not involved[1].
