Product Description

Manufacturer Description

Looking at computer organization products -- you know, printer stands, keyboard drawers, etc. -- they're classics...circa 1989. You can almost see Michael J. Fox standing next to them. Sadly, there hasn't been much progress in this area. Boring beige plastic and unidentifiable simulated wood grain are sometimes the bet you can find. That is...until now.

The Metal Art CPU Caddy uses modern design and innovation to help your computer fit into your life. Both in function and in form. Forged from steel, it puts your CPU up on wheels so you can roll it around a little without any lifting. The more digital our lifestyle gets, the more we need to plug and unplug things from the computer. The CPU Caddy makes interaction between your computer, digital camera, MP3 player, joystick, PDA and printer a little easier.

Pewter powder-coated finish is not meant to match your computer. They help create a balance between the comfortable feel of your home or office and the technical convenience of your computer. In a nutshell, the Metal Art CPU Caddy gives your CPU a lift and looks good doing it.

It took me quite a while to go through all of the stands listed here. I finally picked this one because it was metal, which meant it wasn't going to be flimsy; it was fully adjustable so it would fit my case snuggly enough to have a good grip; and it looked like it was wide enough to not be tippy. There are many comments for this stand that talked about the wingnuts not threading on easily. The problem is that the manufacturer paints the parts with the bolts in place, and the paint gets on the threads. There is really nothing wrong with the threading itself. Two of the four of mine went on just fine while the other two were a tight fit. It was a simple matter of gripping the wingnut with a pair of pliers and screwing the nuts on until they get really tight then backing them off a bit to clear the threads then screwing it back down again. Repeat this until you get them all the way down. It really wasn't a big deal. That aside, it works great, holds my case well, and rolls easily even on my carpet. I'd definately recommend it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Inexpensive Caddy, July 20, 2008

This review is from: Allsop Metal Art CPU Caddy (27761) (Personal Computers)

Pros:
*Inexpensive
*Easy to put together

Cons:
*When being rolled, the CPU case still tends to slip inside the caddy, even with the rubber inserts provided.
*The photo gives an impression that the caddy is silver/chrome, or shiny, at least -- when, in fact, it has a dull, greenish color (but it's under my desk; so, who cares?).

5.0 out of 5 stars Reclaimed some desk space, February 8, 2007

I have a Dell XPS tower that takes up loads of desk space. I wanted to place it on the floor but was afraid the case would be full of cat hair and dust in weeks. This cart solves my problem perfectly as it raises the case about 3' off the floor and allows me to easily slide the computer out of the way. And the casters allow me to easily swivel the case when I need to access the connections on the back.
