    No, but this is shop-talk... don't you just need a couple undermount 
drawer slides?  Then make your desk surface out of whatever material suits 
you, and chop up some 1-by into cubbies for the top.

    The unlikelihood of finding a unit that will precisely fit a specific 
existing cabinet and the relative simplicity of building it seem to 
argue for the latter, in this case.
