Wall Mounted Computer Stations: Why They're
Better Than The Rest
Author: Bill Yaconis
The newest trend in computer furniture is the wall mounted
computer station. As the prevalence of computers increases in
schools, businesses, and medical offices, kiosks and multiuser
computer stations are cropping up everywhere. The furniture
industry is quickly catching up with sleek, compact, wall
mounted computer stations that can be mounted virtually anywhere
that a computer is needed but a computer desk might be too
bulky.
Wall mounted computer stations work like this: First, they can
be designed to be used by a standing or seated user simply by
adding a chair and adjusting the height of the mounted keyboard.
The keyboard tray, CPU, and monitor mount either directly to the
wall, or to a pole which is mounted to the wall. Pole mounts
tend to be more versatile, allowing the keyboard to be moved up
and down. For the monitor, it doesn't matter whether the LCD arm
is mounted to the wall or on a pole. The monitors, on most wall
mounts, can be adjusted for height and tilt regardless of the
type of mount used. They do need to be located near a power
source, but often, that power source can be on the other side of
the wall, in a locked room and the cables are run through the
walls much like wall mounted flat screen televisions are.
Wall mounts provide computer accessibility in hallways, common
areas, classrooms, airports, or anywhere else that a desk is
simply inappropriate or, where users need to use the computer
for a very brief period of time and sitting is not necessary or
encouraged.
Christopher Stormer, the Director of Marketing at Versatables,
a high-end computer manufacturing company in Los Angeles, says,
"We're now getting a lot of orders for wall mounts. People are
seeing how functional they are and they can finally put
computers any place they're needed as opposed to being
restricted to putting them in offices or other places where they
can fit a desk."
Wall mounts from Versa also have a locking mechanism that
allows them to be turned off or locked up when unsupervised or
at night. "Computers are expensive and need to be able to be
secured," says Stormer. "Locking the keyboard up, or the CPU, is
a way to prevent theft or vandalism."
The Ultra Flat Wall Mount Computer Station from Versatables
comes in two colors and retails for only $299, much more
affordable than most computer desks. It also features an
adjustable height keyboard tray and a height-adjustable monitor.
Versatables is known for its innovative, high-quality,
American-made computer desks and computer desk accessories. The
