Free up legroom and protect your PC tower with an Under Desk CPU holder. Discover the ergonomic, space-saving benefits of Uncaged Ergonomics’ adjustable CPU mount.
The Hidden Hero of an Organized Office
In the age of sleek desks and minimalist setups, one component often gets overlooked — the computer tower. For years, bulky CPUs have cluttered floors, gathered dust, and taken up valuable legroom. But what if you could lift that PC off the ground, protect it from damage, and open up your workspace — all at once?
Enter the Under Desk CPU holder — a simple yet powerful accessory that transforms your desk into a smarter, cleaner, and more ergonomic workstation. Whether you’re managing a corporate office or upgrading your home setup, the right CPU mount can protect your investment, improve air circulation, and give your space the polished, professional look it deserves.
What Is an Under Desk CPU Holder?
An Under Desk CPU holder (also called a CPU mount) securely attaches your computer tower beneath your desk. Instead of sitting on the floor or taking up desktop space, your CPU hangs conveniently below your work surface — safe, accessible, and out of the way.
Most holders, like the Under Desk CPU Holder by Uncaged Ergonomics, feature adjustable brackets to fit different tower sizes. They also swivel and slide, so you can easily access ports, power buttons, and cables without crawling under your desk.
Why You Need a CPU Holder: 6 Powerful Benefits
1. Protects Your Computer from Dust and Damage
Placing your CPU on the floor exposes it to dirt, dust, spills, and accidental kicks. Over time, that can lead to overheating, fan blockage, or even hardware failure. An Under Desk CPU mount keeps your tower elevated, improving airflow and preventing dust buildup — extending your PC’s lifespan.
2. Maximizes Legroom and Comfort
Nothing ruins a comfortable workstation faster than a bulky CPU blocking your legs. By mounting your tower underneath your desk, you free up valuable space to stretch and move. This is especially important in smaller work areas or standing desk setups, where mobility matters.
3. Improves Ergonomics and Accessibility
A CPU holder brings your tower within reach — no more bending or crawling to press a button or plug in a cable. The Uncaged Ergonomics model swivels 360° and slides in and out smoothly, giving you effortless access whenever needed.
4. Enhances Cable Management
Tired of messy cords dangling behind your desk? A CPU mount helps organize and elevate cables, keeping them neat and out of sight. Pair it with Uncaged Ergonomics’ WorkEZ Keyboard Trays or standing desks for a complete ergonomic ecosystem that looks as good as it performs.
5. Keeps Floors Clean and Easy to Maintain
When your CPU is off the floor, vacuuming or sweeping your office becomes easier — no need to lift heavy equipment or worry about tangled cords. It’s a subtle improvement that makes regular cleaning much faster.
6. Completes a Modern, Minimalist Aesthetic
A clutter-free desk doesn’t just look better — it boosts productivity and focus. With your CPU hidden under your desk, you’ll enjoy a sleeker, cleaner setup that mirrors the efficiency and organization of your workflow.

Under Desk CPU Holders and Standing Desks: A Perfect Pair
Standing desks are designed for movement and flexibility. But when your CPU sits on the floor, cable length and mobility become major issues. That’s why pairing your standing desk with a CPU mount is essential.
Uncaged Ergonomics’ Rise Up Electric Standing Desk and Under Desk CPU Holder work seamlessly together. The sliding, swiveling design allows your PC to move smoothly as the desk raises and lowers — without straining cables or ports.
This combo enhances:
- Mobility: Prevents cords from stretching or pulling loose.
- Safety: Keeps electronics stable during desk adjustments.
- Aesthetics: Maintains a clean, uncluttered look from every angle.
If you’re upgrading your workstation for better health and productivity, this pairing is a must-have.
Tips for Choosing the Best CPU Mount
When selecting the best under desk CPU mount, consider these factors:
- Size Compatibility: Ensure it fits your tower’s dimensions. Adjustable models are best.
- Load Capacity: Check that it supports your PC’s weight safely.
- Mobility: Swivel and slide functions improve accessibility and maintenance.
- Ease of Installation: Look for mounts with included templates or clear instructions.
- Material Quality: Steel or aluminum offers superior strength over plastic.
- Padding & Protection: Soft linings prevent scratches or vibrations.
The Uncaged Ergonomics Under Desk CPU Holder meets all these criteria, making it one of the most versatile and user-friendly options on the market today.
Maintenance Tips for Your CPU Holder
Once installed, keeping your CPU holder in top shape is easy:
- Wipe the frame periodically with a damp cloth to remove dust.
- Check screws and brackets every few months for tightness.
- Avoid exceeding weight limits or using it for non-CPU equipment.
- Re-adjust the width/height when upgrading your computer tower.
A few minutes of care ensures your holder lasts as long as your desk.
