Computer Stand

AStaley · 6 May 2019 at 16:39

My computer currently sits beside my desk on the floor, I’d like to get it higher preferably level with the desk so I can get the full effect of the side Window LEDs but so far the best thing I can find is a wooden shoe rack. The computer itself is a full tower, and I have probably around 1.5ft of width beside my desk, anyone got any thoughts?

Build something fit for your use. Alternatively put it on the desk!

I've built simple wooden stands before to raise PCs off the floor. You could do something nicer with a piece of matching desk material.

Desk isn't really big enough, I could make something or alternatively I might just replace the desk if I can't find anything suitable.

I made a "bespoke" PC stand before from Ikea odds and ends (book shelves and some "Capita" legs). They stock lots of stuff that might do the job, albeit on the cheaper side of things.

Hadn't thought about Ikea, thanks. Only need something cheap until I move, then I will get a desk with enough space to have computer on as well.

I bought a small glass shelf stand from the rainforest, works really well. You can get various and likely from lots of places / diff sizes etc.

I built a desk for this purpose. 2m Ikea white top, some cabinets, castors, wire trunking.

Looks super clean. Though my desk lives in a vented cupboard underneath now
