A CPU holder can be fitted to almost any desk to lift the CPU off the floor. This is better for the user, who won’t have to deal with the reduced leg room under the desk being taken up by the CPU and it also prevents the CPU from being knocked over or kicked. For carts or computer desks with casters, a CPU holder– specifically an enclosed one– is best because it insures that the CPU will remain safe while the cart or desk is in motion.

CPU holders come in different styles. Some are simple platforms that can be elevated and adjusted on a pole. Others consist of a single clamp, and the higher grade CPU holders consist of double clamps to hold the CPU firmly and securely in place. Regardless of the type you get, they all benefit the user and the CPU alike.
