    Hi. I've just purchased an M17x and wanted to get it off the desk to allow better cooling for the fans. I was wondering if anyone can recommend any particular stand for holding it. I'd ideally like it to be a little more vertical so that the screen is raised, but will settle for a quality riser.

    I've seen things like the Logitech Alto which seems good but dont know if it would slip off due to weight. I dont really need a cooling pad as there is very little to be gained from pushing the same air in the room at the device...

    So over to you, great forum. :)

    Any information is greatly appreciated.

    I use the NZXT Cryo LX. Though it is a cooler, I use it for the angle it puts the M17x at. I don't really use it at all for the cooler aspect of it. I never have it plugged in. Infact, I think the power cord for it is in the garage. The M17x doesn't slip on it either.
