Computer classroom furniture

Hello,
I'm in charge of creating a computer classroom, and would like comments on
good furniture (or furniture to be avoided).  The PCs will be arranged in
rows facing forward, so I don't need oddly shaped desks.  My main
requirements/constraints are that space for each station can't exceed
36" (i.e., individual 36" desks or a 72" table that accomodates two),
and the desks need to connect so that we get a continuous raceway to the
wall, for cords and cable.  Also, I want to put the computers under the
desktop to save desktop space.  Everything I've seen is either too big
(e.g., 44" wide desks) or otherwise fails the criteria.  We can only use 
substantial, "real", Steelcase-quality stuff, too.  The best I've seen is
Spectrum's CLASS furniture (spectrumfurniture.com), which I installed in
our last lab.  It's good stuff, but I'm wanting to see if there's anything
else out there suitable.  

Thanks for any advice you can give.  I'd be happy to pass along our
experience with Spectrum furniture, if anyone's interested.
