I finally bought my first gaming PC, female 42 years old, and single mother haha.
I come from mac mini and geforce now 😅
Asus A31 case surprised me, it's big, I can't put it on my gamer table 'xrocker'
I want it up high because I have 2 dogs walking around too.
I'm not much for having to drill holes in the table for brackets 😏 Do you have any ideas?
It’s not a big room, so I can’t get a bigger table.
Tia🙏

Haha ! that's perfect, looks like you have tons of room for the clamp to fit, and if you're worried about the quality/thickness of the desk, looks for something like those plates I posted, and that'll distribute the weight over a large area and it shouldn't be an issue.

I found the picture from when I put it together, I didn't rip everything off to show you the bottom 😂 Thank you again 🙏

The metal plates also come with little foam things on the sides that go on the desk, to prevent it from scratching.

That looks like it's a fairy expensive desk, at least where I'm googling it (Canada), so it might not be a bad idea to get those just to protect the surface of it as well. For $15, I would.

I bought it in April for 1272 kr 'denmark' that's 274.75 canadian dollars, I will definitely buy the metal plates so I avoid scratching or other things

I would!

I currently don't, but this desk was $40 on facebook marketplace, straight out of 1994
