Ways to secure a pc (on a desk) in place ?

[mitsosvazelos84]

Hello guys ,
I almost got my pc destroyed by falling over my desk , I want to prevent that from happening again .
You see , my desk is placed at the left-up corner of my room , making my pc act like an office desk wall while beeing in the right side of my desk . My desk faces a wall beside a window that lies about 30cm right from the pc tower .
So , my question is ;
Is there a way to secure a tower on a desk in place so that like a push wont turn it over ? Some kind of bards or what ever coming from the wall or a desk mod ?Or anything at all ?

Thank you in advance.

Wouldn't be that hard to drill some holes through the bottom of the case, and screw or bolt the case right to the desk.

Maybe something like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00A67E832/ ? I know it may not be elegant but it'll stop your PC falling for sure - you can mount it upside down to strap your PC to the desk.

PizzaTheHutt , I dont want to place my pc upside down , but its a good suggestion overall ....

Mr5oh , I am not that confident that the desk will be able to hold it in case of turning over and that it will take damage ... I will mark my hardware two that way , but it is the most effective solution out of all . The case is a corsair 450D btw . I was looking for something more eligant as a solution ( sorry for making it so difucult for you guys )

You don't need to mount it like that - flip the mount only upside down and put it on top of your desk - it should hold your PC upright but on top of your desk

One side on the bottom of the case the other side on the desk. Cover the whole bottom side of the case and place where you want it, good luck moving it anywhere.

Um, put it on the floor under the desk to protect from falling and spills.

 

[mitsosvazelos84]

PizzaTheHutt yes I really don't , but yet again its not that eligant , but it's an option

faalin my case is a corsair 450D , it doesn't have a flat stand , it has 3cm tall feet .
If you can find a way to apply this in that case , well , propose it .

J_E_D_70 I don't want to place it under , I want to see it and also there is no room on my feet .

Get some brackets or custom drill/fabricate them or something.

 

[mitsosvazelos84]

I think that mr50h's solution is the best . Or maybe two long wall self holders placed to hold the upper back part of the tower ?

 

[mitsosvazelos84]

mr50h , is there a posibility of damaging my desk and computer case during the drilling procigure ?

 

[ccampy]

Only if you make a total mess of it it easy to drill through wood and a computer case 1-2mm metal

 

[mitsosvazelos84]

Actually I some left-over l brackets , im going to velcro them to my desk and pc case , the end .

Thank you all for the support
