PC Tower Stand Unboxing: Desk Space Doubled, No More Clutter

Preface

A few years ago I bought a sit-stand desk, alternating between sitting and standing, which is good for health

But because of that I needed to put the PC tower on the desk, to prevent the cables from being too short when raised to the highest (at least that's what I thought at the time)

This caused my already not-that-large desk (1.4 meters long) to have a chunk occupied by the tower, with low space utilization

So after this move, I made some modifications to the room and the desk

The PC tower stand is one of them~ (I originally wanted to buy the kind that mounts under the desk, but I don't have drilling tools, so I gave up)

First, a look at the original desk

A large amount of space was taken up by the PC tower—at least 30 cm, I'd say?

Packaging

Nothing much to look at with the packaging

Skip

Unboxing

It's actually just a wooden board + four wheels

Certificate of Conformity

No instruction manual

The only piece of paper is this certificate of conformity

Not that you need a manual anyway

Assembling this thing doesn't need to be taught

Screws

Plenty of included screws

Leftovers even after everything was assembled

The assembled result

The included screwdriver isn't very good

Took some effort to get it assembled

The finished height is a bit lower than I expected

Moving the PC tower underneath

Moved the PC tower off the desk

There are still a few keyboard boxes I haven't put away, a bit messy

The new desk

Let's take a look at the results after the adjustment

After moving the tower down, a lot of space opened up

Don't underestimate this bit of space

Can fit a desk lamp + laptop 👍

From another angle

Without cable management it's still not quite right, looks messy

Recap

Spend very little money and you can get a huge improvement

The value for money of this "makeover" is very high 👍

Next I might still need to look into cable management. I saw those cable trays on Bilibili that mount under the desk
