Keep the tower on the desk or buy this tower holder? (Ikea desk)

[Chad711]

So just bought this desk and there is this tower holder I can get for it. I kind of like the computer on top but then again it takes up some space.

So here is the holder:
IKEA | Drawer units | GALANT system | SUMMERA | Computer holder

Here is my desk now:

There is an extension for the desk too that isn't in the pic. Waiting to put that on when I move to new place. So I will have more room.

Sooooo keep her up top or move her down below?

I kinda like the tower holder, but it's a matter of preference. It would definitely help for organization.

I would keep it on the desk.

neither, mine sits on the floor, but if i had a tower rack/holder, it might would sit on that.

too risky to put it on the desk when kids can come knock it over!

IMO, the rack.

I keep mine in the rack, frees up more desk space and I'd be nervous about my rig getting knocked over if it were on the desk.

The other concern I guess I have is vibration. I wonder how solid this rack is. Don't want my HDD getting vibrations....

what you guys think about that?

Nice desk.
Nice G5.
Nice Saitek.
:laughing:

I'd get the tower holder thingy.

Tower on Desk - Less desk space.
Tower under Desk - Less leg space.

One thing that I did like from Ikea is that they do have an under the desk keyboard holder. I got one and I find that they are extremely useful

I have a desktop holder on my desk can't use it though it will only hold mid-sized cases not full towers. I say leave as is.
