5 Major Benefits of Using a CPU Holder

When it comes to office ergonomics, different items, and accessories get a lot of attention, sometimes too much, but there are those that are left to occupy the back seat: CPU holders take this position. The reality is that CPU holders may not be as popular as ergonomic chairs, adjustable desks, or computer monitors. But that does not mean that they are any less important. In any case, it takes different items to create a fully ergonomic office space.

A CPU holder is an office accessory that suspends a CPU with the aim of improving the ergonomic property of a working space. While CPU holders are often underrated, there is a convincing number of reasons to get one for your office or home working space. If you have had doubts about getting a CPU holder for your PC, consider the following benefits:



1. Ease of use

In the majority of cases, working spaces have CPUs placed on the floor under or beside the desk. While this might seem to be the optimal placement for a CPU, it can present problems especially when you have to power on your system unit.

Those who have back and/or knee problems will especially find this kind of placement quite troubling for their bodies, taking into consideration that you often have to bend or kneel to hit the power button. Even if you don’t have any health issues, placing your CPU in such a manner can cause discomfort whenever you have to turn on the CPU or plug a device into it.

A CPU holder should help you to overcome this challenge, with a lot of ease. With your CPU at a raised position, the power button and ports will be within arm’s reach whenever you need them.


2. Maximize your working space

The majority of CPUs are huge and bulky; hence they take up quite a lot of space when placed atop an office desk. To solve this issue and have some extra space to work with, you might want to place your CPU underneath your desk and the most ideal way to do so is to use a CPU holder. Not only will the extra space come in handy when working, but you can also use it for aesthetic reasons.

 

3. Improved mobility range

There are lots of times when you may want to access the ports at the back of your CPU. When such situations arise, a lot of people choose to lift and turn the CPU so as to access the back with ease. Even though not every day will be a “lift and turn” day, it might help a lot if you can do so with ease whenever you have to.

That’s where CPU holders come in. There are some CPU holders that are equipped with a swivel mechanism and a horizontal glider, that make it easy to turn your CPU whenever the need arises. No more struggling to access the back of the CPU and untangle the mess of wires and cables.


4. Protection

Keeping your CPU on the floor may seem like a good idea, but if you think about its safety you will want to reconsider your decision. When resting on the floor, a CPU is subject to different sorts of cruel but unintentional treatment such as being accidentally hit or kicked, which can cause damage.

Besides, if a room floods or there is a serious spillage, the CPU will be at risk of getting wet. When using a CPU holder, on the other hand, your CPU will have a safe clearance from the floor, which gives it some form of protection. In addition, it will be less likely that your CPU will collect dust from sitting on the floor.

 

5. Use adjustable desks with ease

If you prefer to use an adjustable desk for the convenience of being able to work while standing or sited at different heights, a CPU holder will increase the convenience. If you place your CPU on the floor while using an adjustable desk, you might be limited when it comes to raising the desk so that you can use it while standing. The same cannot be said about a CPU that is secured onto a CPU holder.

 

Final word,

CPU holders may not look like the indispensable workspace accessories that they are, but if you come to think of it, they are pretty much useful. There is a wide range of such products that will meet the different needs and preferences that you have for your working area, so be sure to explore the market for such items.
