To install the Adjustable Under Desk PC Mount, you will need:

    •
    A 9/16” hex head screwdriver
    •
    A 9/16” hex nut driver
    •
    A Phillips head screwdriver
    •
    A drill with a 3/16” drill bit

The fasteners provided

    •
    1 3/8 -16 x 1” L -  hex head screw
    •
    1 3/8 -16” hex lock nut
    •
    3 3/8 - flat washers
    •
    7 black machine screws #10-32 x1/2
    •
    7 black wing nuts-#10-32
    •
    1 packaged Srew & anchors

Step One: Choosing a Location

Determine where you want your Adjustable Under Desk PC Mount based on your current office and desk setup. You want to be sure your PC won’t be in the way but is easily accessible. Also, you must choose a sturdy structure to mount your device to, whether that’s a wooden desktop, metal frame, or something else. 

Step Two: Preparing to Mount

Hold the PC mount up to the location you wish to install it and mark the holes under your desk. Also, check to make sure the included screws won’t pop through the other side of your desk by holding them up to the edge. If the screws are too long, either locate shorter ones or thicker washers. 

Step Three: If Necessary, Drill Pilot Holes 

You can prep the installation site by pre-drilling into the holes you marked using a 3/16” drill bit than the screws. Then if you’re using wall anchors, insert them into the holes you’ve drilled.

Step Four: Assemble the Top Parts of the PC Mount

Next, you want to attach Part 1 and Part 2 by fastening the included  ⅜” hex lag bolt and lock nut.

    •
    Place a washer on the bolt and press the bolt up through the top of Part 1.
    •
    Then place another washer onto the bolt and press it up through Part 2.
    •
    Finally, place a final washer on the bolt and finally screw in the lock nut.
    •
    Be sure to tighten the nut and bolt until you have a smooth swivel motion.  

Step Five: Attaching the PC Mount to Your Desk

Fasten the PC mount to the underside of your desk by holding it up to your pilot holes and screwing the first fastener through the hole into the marked spot. For best results, screw into the hole diagonal to the first next. Repeat until all four screws are securely in place.

Step Six: Attaching the Adjustable PC Base to the Mount

Now it’s time to attach the base to the mount. You will see a series of holes along the edges of both Part 1 and Part 4 of the tower mount. 

    •
    Align the holes at the height necessary for your PC.
    •
    Then, insert the included fasteners through the desired holes and tighten them with wing nuts to attach. You will want to use two fasteners on each side for security.
    •
    Finally, push the 5th screw through the center hole and through the long slit in Part 1 and attach tightly with another wing nut. 

Step Seven: Adding the Tipping Bracket

Slide Part 3, the tipping bracket, onto the bottom of Part 4 so that the lip is pointing up. Then use the hand fasteners to attach the base plate according to the width of the computer in the same fashion as the base to ensure your PC is safe and secure.

Step Eight: Placing Your Computer in the Mount

You did it! Now all you have to do is slide your computer onto the Adjustable Under Desk PC Mount, and you’ll have a neat and secure workstation. 

Installing a Titan Adjustable Tower Mount

Another excellent under desk PC mount by Oeveo, the Titan Adjustable Tower Mount, is even easier to install. The Titan is the perfect PC mount to take your gamer station to the next level by displaying your high-end PC in an attractive yet secure way. The main difference from the Adjustable Under Desk PC Mount is that the Titan cannot swivel.

PCs, especially ones with large amounts of processing power, tend to give off a lot of heat. But an under-desk PC mount such as the Titan can help you avoid overheating. Also, being up off the ground will avoid many of the issues associated with dusk getting trapped in your PC. Plus, the Titan is large and durable enough to support even large form factor PCs safely.

Materials

To install the Titan Adjustable Tower Mount, you will need:

    •
    A Phillips head screwdriver
    •
    A drill with a 3/16” drill bit
    •
