Vertical CPU Holder Add-on for VESA Monitor Arms - Space Saving CPU

In this review of the Vertical CPU Holder Add-on for VESA Monitor Arms, the bottom line is simple: it is for users who need to reclaim desk space without sacrificing quick access to their PC or power supply. The reviewer found the holder most valuable for home offices, IT workstations, and shared desks where keeping the tower close but out of the way matters. Built from sturdy steel and adjustable to fit a broad range of devices, this add-on focuses on reliability and space efficiency rather than aesthetics.

Key Features

• Space saving design: Keeps a PC or power supply off the desk and mounted vertically to free valuable workspace for monitors and peripherals.
• Versatile mounting: Can be installed on any solid vertical surface or used with an Ergotron Wall Track to match different room layouts and desk setups.
• Durable construction: Sturdy steel construction provides a secure, long-lasting mount that stands up to daily use and heavier systems.
• Adjustable fit: Adapts to devices between 2 and 8 in wide, accommodating a wide range of small form and mid tower PSUs and PCs.
• Strong load capacity: Supports devices up to 40 lbs, ensuring it can handle most desktop towers and power supplies securely.
• Secure fastening: Includes fasteners to lock the holder width so the mounted device stays stable and easy to access.

Who It's For

The Vertical CPU Holder is ideal for professionals and home users who value a tidy desk and need their PC accessible but out of the way, such as designers, remote workers, and IT technicians. It is also a good add-on for workplaces that use Ergotron wall hardware and want a cohesive, modular mounting solution.

Users who prioritize a decorative finish or those with very large full tower PCs should look elsewhere, as the design emphasizes utility and compact compatibility for devices from 2 to 8 in wide and up to 40 lbs rather than full-size tower aesthetics or very large chassis support.
