What on earth is that? Looks a bit short to me.

I've heard modular designs that were basically 2-ways perched on top of subs. The difference with your setup may be that the cabinets were matching, so diffraction was less of an issue (also more aesthetically pleasing). PA systems are often stacked this way, too.
EDIT: Obviously famous manufacturers have had this bad idea too:

I'm surprised to find one so similar.

Wow, I've got one here in my computer cupboard so I can see when I crawl in to plug in something. Mine is white.

Yes, that product's page comes with this:
☣ WARNING:

One what? My perception of your whole sentence is now horribly colored by your first link. I made the mistake of clicking on it and can only imagine what sort of things will come up "just for you based on your previous search" next time I log into Amazon. I hate you, I hate you, I hate you...

It was deliberate... Anyway, here you go:
I have a cupboard under my desk (well part of the desk really) which has a few PCs in it and the entire 22 electrical feeds for all the chit on my bench. Also some 'spare' bits and pieces and lots of cables running out and up.
I got sick of hitting my head and not being able to see when I crawled under there to re-route something so I stuck an old lamp in the cupboard.
It's somewhat similar to Ray's

They are great- stick in a 6.5Watt LED and they are fabulous. No heat and lots of light. Get 'em for practically free.

I'm in the same predicament! It really needed a "NSFW" tag . . .

I tell you what other lights you see on kerbside rubbish are those 50 watt halogen powered floor lamps with long angle-poise heads. You know those things that got so hot you couldn't sit near them? Put an MR16 12V LED in them and use them at your electronics bench. They run cool, give heaps of light, use no power and don't take up bench space.

It was just a suction mount! It was perfectly safe for work. Maybe the other stuff you looked at wasn't...

I have removed it from my Amazon US browsing history, thank you! [insert mock indignation emoticon here]It was just a suction mount! It was perfectly safe for work. Maybe the other stuff you looked at wasn't...
But god still knows.
If God's going to watch, he could at least give me a hand...
The Saudies usually have a few detached ones on-hand.

"Would you like a hand with that?" or "I really need a hand to finish this meal" sort of takes on different meanings doesn't it?
