Question Under desk mount

[HerrKaLeu]

Apologies if that is the wrong forum.
I'm getting a motorized standing desk and want to suspend the PC under the desk so it moves up and down with the desk. One of my cases is the Fractal Design R5, the others are smaller. No glass panels. I like the flexibility to fit any under it. I'm wondering what i actually want and don't want to learn later there was that one feature i really would have liked. Some questions:
- Is swiveling useful? I can't see myself using that feature
- Are there options that allow me to open the side panel, or will such mount always require me to take the PC out if i need to "do something inside"?
- there is a heavier duty (66lb) tube design. Other designs are rated for 22 lb. i never weight my PC, but fear with a large case, tower cooler etc. the 22lb rated ones are too tinny. Are the tubed ones less practical?
- I don't have a glass panel, but if i ever had one, is there a mount that works nicer with a window panel? Meaning not covering part of the window? (not a deal breaker at all, I don't have a window panel)
- there are sliding options. Is that useful at all?
- What are the good brands? Google brings me Vivo a lot, I'm not sure if that is a good brand or not. i want something that will work a long time and can be adjusted to differing well and doesn't have me cursing every time i need to work on the PC.

Those companies call the computer they hold the "CPU". Obviously if I only needed to hold the CPU, I didn't need such large device...

Maybe this should be in the "Case" forum? Moderators: could you move it if indeed case forum is more appropriate?

Swiveling is not really useful unless its to get access to your rear ports.
But most unders desk mounts once setup you rarely touch it again, as i am sure you would use a HUB to not have to bend down under desk each time you wanted to use usb.

I do not recommend you ever working on a PC with a under desk mount as too many things can happen.

Underdesk mounts were not intended to support a heavy PC. I think most of them are limited to ITX/mATX builds.
If your running a full sized ATX with radiators and monster video cards, i would not underdesk mount.

Sliding is the same thing to me as swivling.. IMO pointless unless you need to get access to the rear of PC, which honestly feels a bit moot.

I like Vivo... they are OK and cheap.
I prefer their monitor stands tho. I personally do not have nor intend to ever use a underdesk mount.
My brother does on a ITX tho, using a monoprice motorized desk.
