A hideaway desk or bureau for enormous iMac?

DP has bought himself the most enormous computer I have ever seen, it's a 24 inch iMac and now we need a desk for it as our current setup won't work. I'd like something that folds away or you can close doors on, but most of them seem designed for laptops or quite small flat screen monitors. The only thing I've seen is this bureau from Ikea but I'm not that keen on the wood finish on it & red seems a bit much. I do like the bureau style really as it takes up less space than fold-out ones.
Any ideas? thanks!

guess this is the one you've seen. They have a corner one but it's the same wood finish.

Argos have a bunch as well but none are especially striking, although the way the doors on this one fold away is pretty neat.
TBH the iMac is so pretty that I'd be tempted to leave it out...

NB have just read that one with the neat doors is only suitable for 21in monitors, but it's 88cm wide and the 24in iMac is only 57.4cm so I reckon it'd go in no problem.

sorry mrs b, only just managed to get back onto check! Thanks v.much for your suggestion, but dp & I think it might be rather uncomfortable to sit at although it looks fine. Ikea do the desk in white, but not the add-on unit so still looking!

Would any of these work? The one at top right looks like it might.
