Our Side Mounts (or wall mounts) are meant to be fixed on any wall to mount computers in a vertical orientation. If there isn’t space on the wall behind your desk, you can even affix this mount to the side walls of your desk or drawers, as shown below.

The Installation

Figure out the spot that best fits your computer tower, while accounting for at least 10” of open space on the back side of the tower for proper ventilation.

(1) Hold your computer up to the desired mounting location. Draw a line on the wall along the base of your computer. This line will be where you place the base of the Side Mount.

(2) Mark your drill guides from the mounting holes.

(3) Use a 1/16” drill bit to pre-drill the holes. *Take note of the thickness of the surface that you are drilling into. You should also make sure the screws included are not too long for your application.* If necessary, insert the wall anchors.
