A holder for a central processing unit (CPU) is disclosed which includes an adjustable perimeter support frame attachable to the underside of a desk to suspend the CPU therefrom but out of contact with the floor. The frame has four sides, each comprising a female section and a male section slidable therein. Two opposite corners of the frame comprise a pair of female sections connected together to form an L-shaped frame member, the remaining two corners of the frame comprising two male members connected together to provide an L-shaped frame part. The L-shaped male frame sections are slidable within the L-shaped female frame sections so that the length of all of the sides can be readily adjusted to suit the size of the CPU to be supported therein. Locking means fix the position of the movable frame parts when tightened so that the frame tightly grips the CPU. A mounting plate can be slidably mounted on the top of the frame to attach it to the desk undersurface.

1. A holder for attachment to a computer central processing unit (CPU) having an external periphery, said holder comprising:a perimeter support frame adapted to grip and hold said CPU when inserted therein around the whole of the external periphery of said CPU, said perimeter support frame having a plurality of sides which are constructed and arranged to be variable in length so that the sides of said perimeter support frame can be adjusted to fit closely around the external periphery of said CPU, said perimeter support frame having frame sides having two pairs of diagonally opposed corners and comprising first and second pairs of L-shaped frame members which are slidable relative to each other to adjust the length and width of the frame, the first pair of frame members at two diagonally opposed corners of the frame being identical in shape and cross section but different from the second pair of frame members at the other two diagonally opposed corners of the frame, said second pair of frame members being identical in shape and cross section to each other, each frame member of the second pair of frame members being slidably received in each frame member of the first pair of frame members, and; mounting means for attaching said support frame to an underside of a desk or work surface and; locking means to fix and retain a selected length of each frame side whereby the frame grips around the periphery of said CPU and retains said CPU therein.
