I have a similar stand, a Proline MS112 Desktop Boom Mic Stand, and use an AT2035, never had an issue with tipping, but I've got other mic stands that have had issues with tipping.
Usually the problem is either not enough counter weight on the back of the arm, or not enough weight at the base. Make sure the arm isn't fully extended, and possibly see about buying a heavier back weight for the arm.
The simplest solution might just be adding more weight to the base though, and that parts easy. Just go to any store with decent fitness supplies and by a round 5 pound dumbbell weight, take the top off your stand and put that on the pole in top of the base. Add more if needed. (I had a floor stand with a weighted base that wasn't weighted enough so I just added some spare weights to it).
You might have to experiment with both to get something that works, depending on the weight of the mic.
So the Yeti comes with its own desk stand. If you are looking for something that will stand on the floor, you'll want to get a floor stand with a boom. Like this perhaps: Amazon
The biggest problem with that stand though is that the Yeti is a fairly heavy mic, so the stand would be prone to tipping. If you can get a desk stand I used this one in the past, had a nice heavy base. and then got a little longer boom arm for it. Or just invest in a bag of rocks to hold the floor stand down.
As far as sensitive to bumps, there's not much you can do. Many shockmounts on the market will not fit the Yeti. You can get the Blue Ringer (nee Radius), a shock mount designed for the Yeti, and it's a bit overpriced (since they know very few fit the mic). But it works.
New mic might not be a bad idea, but definitely some sort of boom arm is a good idea. I have the ProLine MS112
Tried this on PCMR but didn't get much or a response. I figured some of you guys prob have some big ol desks with mic stands though!
So I have a pretty large desk (72x32) https://imgur.com/MS5AJpR
I bought a Blue Yeti and a cheap neewer scissor mount that was way too small to be useful. I was looking into the Blue compass mount (if its bigger?) or getting just something I can sit on my desk and move it to usable when I wanted like this (with a shock mount added): https://www.amazon.com/Proline-MS112-Desktop-Boom-Stand/dp/B000J0N5TY
Any suggestions on other mounts? Anyone else with a big desk / mount setup? If I use a desk mounted arm I would want it to mount on the back of the desk just to the left of the PC case or all the way on the right side of the desk a little in front of the case maybe?
Thanks for any help!
P.S. Not looking to buy a $300 mic arm from yellowtec or whatever either :-P

I've seen someone link these from another thread on the RT site:
http://www.amazon.com/ProLine-MS112-Desk-Boom-Stand/dp/B000J0N5TY but I think I'd need some kind of converter clip for a microphone that stands up to be used
If you're still looking for one, I have a usb at2020 that looks and works flawlessly
located in california
I can do $80 shipped, or $85 with a pop filter
I also have a desk stand if you're interested, but I would have to recalculate shipping expenses because it's pretty heavy

Got a picture for reference to how much space there is to work with?
Off the bat I’d go with something like this:

This is the stand I use but it kind of has to be coupled with the shockmount in order to be practically used. Otherwise it will be positioned at a terrible angle. Total will run you like $100 in US which isn't bad. In Canada the total is more around $150-$180...
https://www.amazon.com/Proline-MS112-Desktop-Boom-Stand/dp/B000J0N5TY/ may be a bit bigger than you are hoping for but they are great stands. very sturdy.
Yea, the mic stand that the AT2020 USB comes with is kind of dinky. So I got this one... http://www.amazon.com/ProLine-MS112-Desk-Boom-Stand/dp/B000J0N5TY/ref=sr_1_21?ie=UTF8&qid=1323591740&sr=8-21
I have an NT1-A, and use the Pro-Line Mini Boom Mic Stand, and it works ok. Depending on how you angle the boom, the mic itself is a little too heavy for the stand to support, but the base is the perfect size to place a dumbbell on it, and that pins it down.
