Abstract
Abstract A compact computer support stand that includes an open frame having a pair of vertically disposed front legs and a second pair of vertically disposed shorter rear legs. A keyboard table is horizontally disposed from the top of the front legs so that the table extends forwardly from the frame. An inclined monitor platform is mounted at one end in the top part of the rear legs and extends upwardly at an angle. The other end of the platform is supported between the front legs of the frame upon a horizontally disposed bar. Clamps are provided to hold a monitor upon the inclined platform. A rectangular bracket is connected between the two pairs of legs beneath the incline platform. A shelf is seated upon the bracket upon which is supported the disk drive of the computer.
