IO CREST Mobile Desktop Tower Computer Floor Stand Rolling Caster Wheels and Adjustable Width from 6 to 10 Inches

This riser works perfect to keep my cpu off of the carpet. it rolls easily across the berber carpet. I love how I can adjust the size. it's easy to put together. I would recommend....

EDIT, 12/13/13, rerated to four stars. I've had more time to compare this thing to other caddies, now. FAR superior to the plastic ones. The unit now graces my huge HP 6400, and it rolls far more stably, than the plastic units I have. Were I to buy another caddy, it would be this one. The only reason it's not five stars, is that the unit is still too narrow, lengthwise. They need to make a 'longer' one for these big towers. Original review follows unedited, below.==========Years ago in some cheapo store like Pic N Save in the western US (or Dollar General), I found a metal video gaming caddy on casters. Whole thing is no more than 12" high and 8-10" wide including the casters, with handy barred sides. Plop some 1/2" thick wood on its bottom shelf, and you got yourself a dandy computer tower caddy. Like today's Cropper Hopper, but shorter; leave off the short cross-bars (where files are to suspend). But even the shorter CH is almost $40, and WAY too tall. My little gaming caddy was maybe $7, works great for my Dell 8400 monster, with plenty of room to spare. Those barred sides make it easy to pull around, when needed. Do you think I can find that thing now? Guess again! (Hint hint to any manufacturer reading this.)So, I needed another caddy for my HP 6400 workstation. So bought this IO Crest a few days ago; it arrived today. It has several shortcomings versus my other unit, but all can be easily fixed. Biggest shortcoming is the length: most of your tower hangs out. Fix that, by putting a 1/2" thick block of wood sized to your tower, on the bottom of the interior. So, now the computer sits ON the wood. That solves the next shortcoming, the bolts sticking up at the bottom interior, of the IO Crest. Thirdly, use cushy plastic lattice kitchen drawer liner rather than the provided adhesive cushioning; for you just know, the provided cushioning will soon shred. The liner eventually sticks to the bottom quite well, the equivalent of removable adhesive. So you line it U-shaped, for good grip at bottom AND sides. Instead of, hassling with adhesive placement.(No-extra-charge hint: I use this liner in various colors on the top of my towers, too, to cover the dull black machine tops; but even more importantly, to assure that my external drives and DVD players sitting atop the tower, don't slide. Cut liner to fit, washable and easy to replace; then when you bump into your tower, you don't lose your drives.)Here's an alternate way to assemble the unit so you don't have to deal with those bolts rubbing against the bottom of your tower: REVERSE THE SIDES. Meaning, when you assemble, instead of putting the sides on so that the bolts are INside the bottom, turn the sides around so the bolts are on the OUTside, like this: (ignore the dots; underline represents the curved bottom of the side. The paired brackets just above it, represents screw placement. The brackets at far right, illustrate the side itself rising upwards.)...........]...........]...........]....{}.....]______]So, you install the sides so that the screws are on the OUTside, not the inside. Just the reverse of the picture. This means that the sides will not be flush with the bottom. It also means that you better test your tower for width, before you assemble, for you've just narrowed your maximum width, by maybe 2 inches. Then again, you get a tighter fit. Made much better with that kitchen liner, rather than the provided adhesive cushion (which is only 1/16" thick, and will easily rot).Oh: assembly goes much faster if you first do the wheels, and if you do everything upside down. The washers go UNDER the bottom, rather than under the top of the screws. And tighten the nuts all the way with needle-nose pliers, even though you want the sides to slide; then, reverse-turn once or twice to enable sliding. Else you'll have a very unstable base for your computer.Oh 2: put the locking casters at the BACK, not the front. Diagram on box and picture, show the locking casters on the front. Don't lock them, either. They must have been thinking you'd move the thing from the back instead of from the front, but if it's under a desk, you have to move it front-first. That's a problem here, as the sides are too short, however study. Hence the advantage of that kitchen liner, so your 'puter won't slide as you move it forward.I'd give this IO Crest five stars if sides were 12" high and barred like the Cropper Hopper; oh, and if IO Crest made the base 2.5x longer, so the computer won't hang out. (The hanging out, renders the computer prone to tipping.) The higher sides would make it easier to move around by the handles. But as it stands, I can make it work.. until I again find the caddy mentioned at the beginning of this review.At that point, this little IO Crest is so hand-truck sturdy, it will become an alternate hauler. Neato.

My wife recently purchased a low profile desktop PC but didn't have the desk space for it. There wasn't much of a clearance between it and the floor when placing it vertically, and we have carpet, so I decided to find a stand for it.I knew we only wanted some clearance between the PC and the floor, so I didn't set my sights high when searching. As long as what I received fulfilled that most basic function, all would be fine. I ran across this, the most inexpensive stand in the store at the time, and pulled the trigger.The construction is solid enough for the purpose - it doesn't feel like it's going to have any issues supporting the weight of the PC. The four endpoints are padded with rubber and there are rubber pegs at four locations along the arms. This allowed me to get a snug fit and it doesn't feel like the PC is going anywhere; if it does, it's taking the stand with it.I didn't install the casters since we don't need to pull this PC in-and-out, but they seem to be a bit flimsy and the inserts for them aren't reinforced with much plastic. I'd recommend this product if you don't need to use the wheels, otherwise, I'd look elsewhere.UPDATE------------I bought another for my full size ATX case. While my wife's fit perfectly, mine hangs over by 2 to 3 inches at the front and back. I really should have checked the dimensions before reordering. It doesn't feel quite as stable, obviously (physics an' all), but it doesn't make it not worth the purchase. It accomplishes the goal of at least raising the tower off the carpet, even more so since I've installed the casters on mine.I have my machine setup so I rarely need to work with the back, but I wanted to install them for the purpose of this review. I'll make sure I pull the machine out at least a couple times a week and will update my review if I start to have issues. If you don't see any further updates, you can assume they're still working as advertised. I will say, though, that I noticed there are 5 casters, including one for the center. If someone left off the fifth caster, I'm positive the stress would be too much for the others to take. I wonder if this may have been what happened with some of the other reviewers.I also noticed some reviewers mentioning screws, and how they were left out - I haven't the foggiest what they're talking about. There are eight pieces of rubber included with the frame. Four of those are the large vertical pads that hug the sides of the computer. They're a tongue and groove design with a small extension that fits into a slot on the frame. They fit securely, even more so when there's a PC wedged between them. The other four pieces are plugs that fit into the bottom of the frame to provide some grip horizontally. Similarly, they aren't going anywhere once a PC's on top of them. The frame is already put together. I can't see any way screws would be used.UPDATE------------It's been a month since my review and I've been testing the casters on my carpet. I can see how they could be easily damaged if not being careful, but I think not allowing them to bear the brunt of the force when moving the stand would be sufficient to keep them in good condition. While I've been slightly rougher than I normally would have been considering I have a backup pair, I still haven't had an issue. I would just recommend gently lifting as you pull - especially if you have carpet.And, in-case you were wondering, I still stand by my rating. I've had no issues with the product and it's accomplished its job admirably. Is it a 5 star product? No, but I don't need a 5-star product for this; just like I'd be perfectly happy with a 4-star napkin after lunch.

It is exactly what you can ask for, it will do the job, the wheels are tiny, this can be a pro or a con, for me, it’s great because it’s not bulky (I do not have carpet, my pc is located on a wood floor), the plastic is hard and seems to be good quality, they don’t do to much effort in giving like the smooth type plastic, you can see where it melted(there is no texture, not a thing to complain about) but overall is a great product and seems to be good quality :)

I love this caddy. I did put better wheels on it though, but that was my choice because I wheel my servers around a lot to the work bench and back to the server room.

It has held up for some time and I haven’t moved it much but the heavier PCs might test it’s strength as mine has cracked at one of the wheels which causes it to fall off. Keep in mind I do have a 40-45 pound plus rig but I would definitely go with something other than plastic in hindsight.

Me aligera la carga de estar movinedo mi pc ya que las rueditas ayudan un monton (no son 4x4 tambien no piensen que son a prueba de campo traviesa) lo super recomiendo yua que para la limpieza del lugar de la pac es tan facil como rodarlo, y ajustar su lugar por se jala algun cable. Lentra la mayoria de los gabinetes (probamos con unio enorme de asus y entró) actualmente lo uso con un coolermaster td500 y cabe perfecto

Excelente producto

This was used to both raise my desktop PC and allow heat out of the bottom near the power supply. It also helped to move it between rooms frequently. It fits the desktop nicely and holds that size well. It rolls very well over wooden floors, holds still despite not having locks and keeps the centre of balance on the desktop tower low, so it doesn't tip.

Ok so I bought this for my 4"w x 14"L x 10"h UPS that weighs 25lbs.The item is easy to put together, there are four wheels at the corners and one in the middle.The middle one is definitely necessary.My ups was barely long enough to catch the grippers but it does so anything longer would work better.It is made of very light plastic and the rollers are only about 3/4" in diameter.That being said it seems to roll ok on my low pile carpet.I don't anticipate moving it a lot but if I want to I have to grabe the base not the ups or it movesas the pressure from the grips is not enough to keep it in place.Non of this is a deal breaker for me so far it work and it rolls, it keeps the vent holes unobstructedsot that is good also.Summary;Its cheap and light weight if you want something more robust this is not it but if you are using itso you can occasionally move your equipment it should be ok, a tall tower I would not recomend asthe grippers are only about 1 1/2" high and it might be tippy.All that said i gave it four stars, because it was cheap and I got what I expected but nothing more.

La compre para utilizarla en una torre Thermaltake y ajusta de buena manera, el unico problema es que el material es muy blando y con el peso de la torre, se dobla hacia el piso, haciendo que se arrastre la parte del medio.Puede que funcione bien en torres pequeñas.Se arma facil.
