Claims8
A portable riser for supporting a computer monitor thereon, comprising:
- a generally triangular base having two rear side panels extending from an apex to two media mounting surfaces, said rear side panels being angularly disposed at an angle of about 90 degrees to each other such that said riser fits within a corner;
- at least one of the rear side panels being adapted for mounting electronic peripheral devices thereon, at least one of said rear side panels having a cut-out therein for receiving a cable therethrough;
- said media mounting surfaces extending angularly disposed at about a 90 degree angle from the rear side panels to ends of a user interface surface;
- a top support surface supported by the two rear side panels, two media mounting surfaces, and the user interface surface;
- and
- said user interface surface having a cut-out therein, said cut-out defining a storage area which is dimensioned such that a computer keyboard may be received therein.
