I could get a stand on wheels to keep it off the floor. It's just that so far I haven't seen one sturdy enough. I did have the desk built extra-wide for that purpose. We'll see. It is a monster.

If you ever need to do anything inside the computer (like clean it) or if you have anything requiring plugs or whatever, the desk would be easier for that stuff.

If I were to get a stand, it would have to be on wheels so I could just pull it out from under the desk. I need to find a really good stand, though.

I understand that but it is still low down to reach. I've had 2 computers on those stands and had trouble with plugging things in and cannot clean them down there, not that I clean my computers often. Stooping down and bending over and twisting around just don't work for me. I'm sure you are more limber with your dance and pilates but just putting it out there as something to consider.

I have my super heavy beast on a small rolling platform that is only about 2" off the floor. I can easily roll it away to vacuum up cat hair and dust or move it to get at the back. But peasis has a point about working inside it - even if just to blow out dust once a year. I got it many, many years ago at a place that is no longer around.

This is similar to mine... There are ratings for weight load. My computer weighs almost 40 pounds which is still under the 20 kg rating. My old computer was even heavier!

If I had it on a rolling stand it would be very easy to pop open the side for cleaning. I do have a small air blower for that very purpose.

I don't have trouble bending over or working on the ground -- that's what all the Pilates is for!

I will check out that stand,

Exactly - long live Pilates!

I have a small air compressor made just for blowing out computers... It's awesome and works great for lots of other stuff.
