Geargrip Lite CPU Holder

I got this rig based on a similar one I saw in use some time ago. Now I have a condition that makes it nearly impossible to walk without one hand being used to steady myself. That had put items that are not terribly heavy, but are unwieldy to carry with only one hand free, out of reach for me. This Geargrip can be used for a wide range of such objects: CPU cases, printers, monitors, scanners, countertop kitchen appliances, sound equipment, and other stuff I used to "hug" to carry because there was no handle or grip on the case. This device puts on a handle and lets me again do stuff I had been unable to do safely. Not a bad deal for 25 bucks.

Very sturdy web straps and good sewing and good snap buckles. Everyone can find a use for one! Whole case of wine? No problem. That's safety lifting and worth the time to strap it up. Heavy shipping like Airlines Checked or Overhead is really easy with a strong Handle and Top-Bar simple design. If TSA needs to open it....it's easy for them too...out-performs rope and tape by a lot. Could easily be used for lifting rolled carpet, or area rugs, like skis or even lumber... It just creates a real safe lift and carry. I bought another for a friend who lifts a lot of wine in/out of his car.

I was a bit concerned after reading one review that indicated that the computer could slip out of the straps but found that with the straps properly tightened there was absolutely no danger of the computer slipping. My computer was safe and secure to carry anywhere. This was the first chance I had to use this and it is great. I take my computer in to be serviced now and then and it was always a struggle to carry it in from my vehicle. This made the trip so much easier to do. As you can see from the picture there is a lot of strap left over on my computer so the device can accommodate quite a range of sizes.

Its a good product, and its very strong material, but I wouldn't just carry my computer around with this with no care in the world. The straps on the bottom of the computer often slide out from under the tower and if I was not already holding the computer with two hands I'd watch it fall to the floor. It does work well for short or assisted lifting of your computer tower. So long story short your not going to pick up by the handle and walk a block to your friends house, but it might be good enough to go from the desk to the floor, or maybe from your desk out to your car. Not sure how this would compare to their higher end version that also has sides to place the keyboard, I'm wondering if that may prevent the slipping of the straps.

Im using this as a battery holder. I used these holders to hold my heavy computer towers back in the day. Still stands up to what they were design to do!!

I purchased the holder to use it with my NZXT Source 210 ATX Mid Tower for LAN events. The holder seems well build, sturdy and did not have a problem keeping my tower stable for me to carry around. Only issue I had with it is that the length of the top portion (handle portion) makes it so that the straps are positioned right where the rubber bumpers under the tower are. I had to push the straps inward toward the center of the tower to avoid having the straps sit right on the bumpers. This made the straps sit a bit diagonally but the holder itself was still stable and tight.I was thinking if the handle portion up top was somehow adjustable (at least on one end of it via the strap) it would make it easier to adjust the length and avoid issues with any bumps. This could also help avoid having the strap sit on a vent intake, which in my case one of the straps was right over the intake for the power supply. Not a big issue, it just meant I had to remove the holder from my tower before starting it up. It would've been nice to leave it on for the whole LAN event but it only takes a few seconds to un-clip and remove.

I used to just carry my PC around by hand when I needed to go to a friend's place or somewhere else to participate in a game jam, and it was a pain doing that. With this harness it makes the trips so much easier and convenient! I'm using it with a rather small micro ATX case, which fits it perfectly with a little slack that I tucked in behind the straps. Absolutely a must buy for anyone who frequently takes their PC on the go.

Sadly I cannot say anything good about this CPU holder. In fact it broke the VERY FIRST DAY. One of the seams where the fabric is stitched together just ripped off. I was still able to use it as a carrier, but feared that the other could break at any time causing my tower to crash on the ground. If you have a smaller PC maybe it would be better but mine was apparently too heavy for this case. Very disappointed.
