Dude, relax. We've been calling Native Americans "Indians" (and I'm sure you have too) for the better part of 300 years.

You know what they (crate and barrel) mean, I know what they mean. As long as they aren't purposely misleading anyone with their labeling... besides, "cpu holder" is a lot easier to say than "ATX tower holder" :D
 
I agree with HardD99. I laugh when people try to act like they know a lot about computers and call the case the CPU. At least it serves to seperate people who actually know what they're talking about and those who don't.

believe me, calling a pc a cpu is actually good.. it's at least coming close to what it actually is.. I do IT work for a mid-sized company with complete morons, all the time I get these people asking me what the 'computer' is, most of the time pointing to their monitors. "I try to reboot it but it don't work" while turning their monitor power on and off. Or they ask "which thing is the hard drive?" pointing at the monitor or the actual pc, then I have to go through the whole explanation. I mean, is it really THAT hard to understand? I don't think so, people are just f*cking stupid, and the same goes for the marketing noobs who made the "cpu holder".. I mean really, it takes 5 minutes of research to learn about pc components and terminology..

Yea, and people smacking and abusing their monitors when they are fustrated with their computers being slow or unreliable. I mean don't ruin a perfectly good monitor just because you clicked on a misleading web ad banner which sent you a bazillion popups and locked up your comp.
