mounting a case under a desk

[MassiveJim]

Has anyone mounted their case under their desk ?

All of the off the shelf products I have found in the first 5 minutes of searching don't look so great.

If anyone has modded there own bracket to attach the tower to the underside of the desk I would be interested to see exactly what you did.
Or failing that if anybody has found a nice looking pre-made bracket.

Sorry I can't be of help, just adding my +1.

Looking for the same solution myself. Something to save desk space but keep it off the floor.

I'm not sure how good it is, but I have got a Humanscale CPU600 on the way. It looks like it is nicely designed.

Exactly what I'm going to be doing in the next couple of weeks. I'm going to build my own though with a slatted wooden side and base for the airflow and to stop me from battering my case to death with my knees and feet! Haven't got a real concrete design in mind - I tend to just wing it with the DIY but the results are usually pretty good. If I get it done soon I'll let you know what I did and whether it's worth doing or avoiding like the plague.

Here are some pics from my system case hanging.

Here is the installed and empty Humanscale CPU600 hanger. The height and width are fully adjustable.



Here it is "levitating" my Lian Li. The track allows the support to slide backwards and forwards which is very useful for accessing rear cables.



Finally here is the complete "man cupboard".



Overall I am very happy with the CPU600. The only negative is that the top arm and pad covers the top grill on my system case and so will reduce venting a little. However I guess this is offset by the improved airflow under and around the rest of the case.
