CPU Holders

A CPU holder lifts your computer tower off the floor, protecting it from dust, spills and vacuums while freeing legroom. Options include HAT Design Works CPU-HLDR models, Workrite track-mount and Line of Sight holders, the Humanscale TCH thin client holder, the Ergotron vertical universal CPU holder and CareFit mini CPU holders.

How to choose

• Device size: check the width and height range for towers, mini PCs or thin clients.
• Mounting: under-desk, track, crossbeam and cart-mounted holders install differently.
• Swivel and slide: track mounts let you pull the CPU out to reach ports.
• Security: some models offer locking options.
• Sit-stand compatibility: desk-mounted holders move with the desk, so cords stay connected.
• Airflow: open frames leave vents uncovered so the computer can breathe.

FAQ

Will a CPU holder work on a standing desk?

Yes, an under-desk holder rises with the surface. See sit-stand desks.

What about cords?

Pair the holder with cable management to keep cables tidy.

Can it hold a thin client?

Yes, several holders here, including Workrite and Humanscale models, are sized for thin clients and micro PCs that are too small for a standard tower holder.
