A computer lift has a stationary lift assembly and a movable monitor mount containing a gas spring cylinder fixed at one end, using a pulley assembly and cable to double the stroke of the gas spring cylinder by floating the pulley assembly. A positive lock allows the lift to stay in position after moving to a desired height, while maintaining easy movability.

1. A computer lift, comprising: a base having a lift assembly;a monitor mount slidably movable on the lift assembly;a lift system comprising: a gas spring cylinder having an outer cylinder and an extendable inner cylinder, the outer cylinder connected at a first end to the monitor mount;a pulley case having a pulley, the pulley case mounted to the inner cylinder at a second end of the gas spring cylinder; anda cable fixed at a first cable end to the first end of the gas spring cylinder and at a second cable end to the lift assembly, and between the first cable end and the second cable end, through the pulley case and seated in the pulley; anda locking mechanism coupled between the monitor mount and the lift assembly to selectively lock the monitor mount in one of a plurality of positions, wherein the locking mechanism comprises: a spring coupled to the monitor mount; anda lock coupled between the spring and the lift assembly, the spring normally biased toward the lift system. 2. The computer lift of claim 1, and further comprising: a keyboard rest, the keyboard rest connected to and supported by the lift assembly. 3. The computer lift of claim 1, wherein the lift system further comprises a locking bar attached to a frame of the lift system, the locking bar having a plurality of detents to accept the lock to hold the monitor mount in one of the plurality of positions. 4. The computer lift of claim 3, wherein the locking mechanism further comprises a handle, the handle to allow a user to overcome the normally biased spring to allow movement of the monitor mount. 5. The computer lift of claim 1, wherein the pulley is mounted within the pulley case to be freely rotatable within the pulley case. 6. The computer lift of claim 1, wherein the pulley extends through slots in the pulley case to allow the cable to be seated on the pulley securely. 7. The computer lift of claim 1, and further comprising: a mounting mechanism for mounting the computer lift to a solid surface, the mounting mechanism having a plurality of clamps to engage the solid surface. 8. The computer lift of claim 7, wherein the plurality of clamps clamp to a front edge of the solid surface. 9. The computer lift of claim 7, wherein the plurality of clamps clamp to a rear edge of the solid surface. 10. The computer lift of claim 9, wherein the plurality of clamps are connected to the computer lift with a plurality of extension bars, an extension bar for each clamp. 11. A method of lifting a monitor on a monitor mount, comprising: attaching an outer tube of a gas spring cylinder at one end to a movable monitor mount;attaching a pulley system to an end of an inner tube at a distal end of the gas spring cylinder;attaching one end of a cable at the one end to the movable monitor mount, and at a second end of the cable to a stationary lift assembly, with the cable seated in a pulley of the pulley system between the cable ends;moving the monitor mount between a first position and a second position of a plurality of positions; andlocking the monitor mount into one of the plurality of positions with a locking mechanism, wherein locking comprises locking into a detent of a locking bar of the monitor mount with a spring connected between the monitor mount and a lock, the spring normally biased toward the monitor mount. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein moving the monitor mount comprises moving a distance of double a stroke of the gas spring cylinder. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein moving the monitor between the first position and the second position moves the monitor a distance approximately twice a length of extension of an inner cylinder of the gas spring cylinder. 14. A computer lift, comprising: a monitor mount;a lift assembly, the lift assembly comprising: a gas spring cylinder having an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder, the outer cylinder connected to the monitor mount at a first point, and the inner cylinder connected to a pulley case with a rotatable pulley therein; anda pulley cable connected between the first point and a second point on the lift assembly, the pulley cable threaded therebetween over the pulley; anda locking mechanism coupled between the monitor mount and the lift assembly to selectively lock the monitor mount in one of a plurality of positions, wherein the locking mechanism comprises: a spring coupled to the monitor mount; anda lock coupled between the spring and the lift assembly, the spring normally biased toward the lift system.
