How to Make a CPU Holder With Casters

Computers are everywhere in homes and offices, and sometimes all this equipment can get in your way. Many standard desktop models have a CPU tower that sits on the floor beneath desks. A problem with desktop CPUs is the inability to move them easily to have more space around your desk. To remedy this problem, you can make a simple CPU holder that has casters on the bottom. This will allow you to move the CPU around your desk just enough so you can have more space when necessary.
