![VESA Mount Adapter for Acer Monitor XG270HU, G277HU, R240HY Abmidx (Does not fit R240HY bidx) [Patent Pending] - by HumanCentric](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31NnAnpYyOL.jpg)
That would be the Couchmaster Pro.
Edit: They also sell these really cool compact booth-things for racing games.
Here you go
VIVO Triple LCD Monitor Desk Mount Stand Heavy Duty and Fully Adjustable | 3 Screens up to 30 inches (STAND-V003T) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B1D03GQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_KlHHDb0TWV02A
I use this and it’s worked really well. The two bottom monitors are slightly resting on the desk as well. It was a pain to get set up perfectly but they haven’t moved since.
The real kicker is I have a monitor mount I picked up off of amazon for that exact reason....it has been sitting in my office for a few weeks unopened.

Here's an album with some more pictures
Here is a picture of the back of my Monitor. Sorry about the spaghetti, the Lightpack cables are really quite difficult to manage.
Edit: Photos of the Lightpack in Action!
Edit 2: Since you guys are asking about the Power Pose and No Zero Days thing: Here is a TED talk on Power Poses that I got the idea from.
Edit 3 since you guys keep asking: The monitor arm is a Mount-It desk arm I got on Amazon. Link!
PC: Ncase M1
Monitor: LG 32UD99-W (on a discontinued Chief VESA mount)
Keyboard: Anne Pro Brown, with o-rings and blank keycaps
Mouse: Logitech G602
Headphones: E-MU Teak (and Schiit Magni 2U)
Mac: MacBook Pro 15"
Desk: BTOD VertDesk v3
Chair (shy, not pictured): Autonomous ErgoChair 2 black
EDIT since so many asked, laptop stand: Vivo monitor arm (or any VESA mount that can tilt back) and this VESA laptop stand
A good headphone stand:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MCVOILM/
A cool glass/metal stand thing to put under your tower or monitor:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AJHCQD8/
A big long mouse+keyboard pad that like a rug, ties your whole desk together:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N0LDFR8/
A cool scissor arm to hold & move your microphone:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DY1F2CS/
For things that are more significant than accessories: Get some active studio monitor speakers, a nice dac/pre-amp/mixer, a mechanical or electrostatic-capacitive keyboard, a REALLY nice office chair, and stuff like that. A good battlestation is about a lot more than a big monitor, cool case, and some good processing power.
After shipping total came out to to $34.04 for me. Not really that great when this is on Amazon if you have Prime:

This one is the same dimensions for $11.90. No logo or design, the sides are also stitched, plus it's 1mm thicker. I've had it for about a month and it's been great, I don't think there's any reason to get this one over it unless you really like the design.

So I went back two years on my purchase history to when I bought it on amazon.. the manufacturer replaced it with a similar item, so i have no guarantee that it will be the same. Mine has two clamps at the bottom where this one only has one, which I do not like.

I've posted this tutorial before, and I'm gonna do it again, for anyone wanting to know how to mount this bad boy. Other people have messaged me saying they've used different adapter mounts and a dremel instead of the JB Weld method. About two weeks now, and still doing great!
 
 
I used this guy's Amazon tutorial on how to put the adapter on, although I got the non-quick set version that comes in seperate tubes.
These are the items I purchased:
Here are the pics of my setup. Please note, I waited a full 24 hours before mounting them. I know people get antsy, but just wait!!! Also, when adjusting the monitors for the first time, don't use too much torque, or you might detach the adapter from the monitor. The scratch marks you see on the back of the monitor, next to the adapter are where I sanded it down. I don't care about the way it looks, since my desk is against a wall. You can probably be a bit more careful if you actually care about the looks. I also sanded off the paint from the adapters so I can get good contact between the rough plastic surface and the bare steel plate. The screws that came with the adapters, as long as I washered them out a little, were perfectly fine to use.
There are still some small adjustments I need to make to the way they are lined up, but this is pretty much 99% done. I highly recommend anyone looking for more desk space to give this a shot.
If you love a massive mouse pad, check out these guys in XXXL! Two of them cover my entire desk. My whole desk is a mouse pad.
Bottom accent isn't as bright as it is in this picture. Great monitor if you're looking for 144hz. Stand sucks balls, but these vesa adapters work well.
I also have this desk. This is my setup at full height:
Monitor Arms: North Bayou Arms
Monitors: Dell U2417H 24" monitors
Keyboard: Ducky One Side Print 100% Keyboard
Mouse: Logitech MX Master (Meteorite)
Mouse Pad:PECHAM Extended Pad
Speakers: Logitech Z313
Chair: Amazon Basic Mid-Back Chair
Lamp: Desk Lamp
Drawers: IKEA Alex
Plants: Random succulents from Trader Joe's
Wallpapers: Studio Ghibli Wallpapers (1920x1080)
​
Cable Management: involves the cable raceway attached below the desk using Command Strips from Wal-Mart. The cord management sleeves came in 4 pieces and I used that to organize all the wires. I have the speaker remote attached next to the lifting mechanism under the desk which is nice for quick volume control. The sub-woofer is placed on the desktop due my preference of having the fewest number of cables coming down from the desk. The one cord that hangs down is the power strip that runs to the outlet. The power strip is placed within the c-clamp of one of the monitor arms.

Price: I was able to get a lower price in September 2018 at Office Depot using a 20% off coupon that was in general circulation. The final price with taxes and shipping to store was $149.90. But, I would gladly pay the $159.99 listed here.
​
Overall, I love the desk. In fact, I bought another one for my wife. The ability to switch between standing and sitting with the lifting mechanism is well worth the low price I paid. The setup requires minimal effort to lift - I personally use two hands for stability. I do think that an addition of a computer tower on the desktop will make it difficult, but not impossible, to lift. There is mention of wobbling in one of the review videos on YouTube, but it is barely noticeable on a day to day use. I will say that my only complaint is the desktop is not solid wood and I have experienced a bit of surface lift after a cup with condensation was left on the desktop overnight. I recommend using a coaster if you plan to having drinks on your desk.

Both the 2012 Minis and the 2010 Mini are completely headless. Unfortunately, this means that accessing them via remote desktop gives you a measly 800x600 resolution. I use this handy little gadget on both of them to replicate a 1920x1080 display being connected. So, when I connect via Screen Sharing I get a nice big display.

It appears to be either this one or this one
I THINK either one would work for achieving a similar effect.
This is the stand I am currently using, It works great for me and the center mast is hollow with holes in it to run cables through so cable management is pretty easy.
Probably because monitor, keyboard, mouse, and desk/couch are all very specific to people individually. So it would make more sense to buy a monitor and attach to something like https://smile.amazon.com/COUCHMASTER-Ergonomic-Couch-Gaming-Cushions-Mousepad/dp/B00CCHRJ2Q/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=keyboard+and+mouse+tray+for+couch&qid=1571167825&smdm-noredirect=true&sr=8-7 .
There are smaller options but that one actually looks sturdy enough to put a monitor mount on it with little to no modification.
With thunderbolt I imagine you build some sort of pass-through system with a nice long cable management sleeve to make a bearable set up.
This is a much better deal, and offers a larger range of horizontal motion for the monitors, but does not have individual height adjustment.
Edit: Sorry to promote the competition, but the community should know about other options.
No VESA is an idiotic omission on Acer's behalf. That said, at least you can add VESA to it with this adapter.
Ya linked to the wrong one, here's the 36x12 https://www.amazon.com/KAZAIRA-Extended-Gaming-Anti-Fray-Stitched/dp/B01AS8ROZ2?th=1
This is above normal price for these extended pads (~$10)

For those interested, I bought two of these and borrowed one shelf from each box to make the middle section. For the actual 'desktop' I used a 1/8" fiber board cut to size. The monitors are held in place by this, which is actually mounted upside down from the top shelf. The desk idea originally came from /u/gconsier
I was kidding, here's your COUCHMASTER
I hightly recommend the CM Quickfire Rapid to anyone knew to the mechanical keyboard world. They are built very well. They don't go for the 'Gamer' look and just offer a solid keyboard. They are available from most big retailers (most high level mechs are not). They offer a lot of the perks of premium mech boards, without the higher price as you can often find them for pretty cheap ($50 - $80). The only real downside to them, is the key caps. They are pretty cheap, but odds are if you're buying a mechanical keyboard, you plan on customizing them anyways. Which the QFR lends itself very well to. Some keyboards (like the K65) have some keys that are not standard size. This makes it a little more difficult to customize.
Need a wrist wrest? Look no further than the Griffiti Tenkeyless. It may fray a little, but support is very good and it's comfy. As opposed to other brands that offer cheap plasic ones.
Thanks, I didn't think I would like them so high at first either, but after about a month I don't think I would ever go back. I suffered from neck pain for years and decided to transition both my work desk and my home station to a standing desks about 6 months ago, at home though I wanted a dual purpose desk/workbench so that I could build out a proper solder station for Arduino tinkering. So I bought the cheapest workbench from home depot, threw some heavy castors on it and used this dual arm mount. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052AWGLE?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00
was about $150 for the bench, a standing pad, castors, and monitor mount.
XTrac Ripper XXL. I recommend it very much! Soft and slides the mouse perfectly! You can get it on Amazon
Give one of these a shot.
I use this one at work because it's cheap and super cushy. It's bad for people with oily or sweaty hands though, as the foam falls apart with prolonged contact to liquids. I've had mine for a couple years and it's doing great. My friend with sweaty palms killed his in 6 months. Multiple sizes available.
https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Keyboards-MacBooks-Notebooks-Neoprene/dp/B004DANDN4
I use this one at home (well, one just like it). It's gel with a material casing and rubber foot. Nothing you do to it while using your computer should cause it to break down. The downside is when they get dirty, cleaning fabrics with a sponge can be annoying. Also comes in whatever size you need.

All of the monitor mount/arms in this class come from the same manufacturer. They often go on sale down to this price floor.

I have the IPS version of this monitor, and while the stand isn't bad, I ended up grabbing one of these desk mount swivel arms and absolutely love it. Can't beat the price either.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AI2YGK4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It was this one - https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Bracket-Monitors-H226HQL-H236HL/dp/B01DAYRXRK/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480962844&sr=8-1-fkmr1&keywords=vesa%2Badapter%2Bacer%2Bxg&th=1
Worked out really well and didnt want to do a JB Weld hack job like one of the reviews posted for the monitor on amazon.
Looks like a variation of this one.
This is an updated version of the well-reviewed arm i've been looking at on amazon. Its quite a bit cheaper too!
https://www.amazon.com/Ergotech-Triple-Monitor-Telescopic-Screens/dp/B007BD0MPM/
This also came with free shipping.
Typically sold from http://www.wsgf.org/products/ergotech-130-series-triple where it sells for $240 + $35 US shipping
That site also has the product video.
the keyboard is the anne pro rgb which comes with gateron (smoother than cherry xm) reds, browns or blues which i got from this site :http://www.banggood.com/APP-Control-Anne-PRO-Blue-Red-Switch-RGB-Bluetooth-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard-p-1064055.html?rmmds=search (use the code ANNEPRO for additional price reduction)
as for the mousepad it's the glorious pc gaming extended mousepad which comes in all sorts of sizes and shapes https://www.amazon.com/Glorious-3XL-Extended-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B0164KY294
if you have any questions about hardware or peripherals, i've used a ton of different mice and mousepads from my cs:go global days and alot of different keyboards for osu!, so i'm quite knowledgeable ;)
It is the Glorious 3XL Extended Gaming Mouse Mat / Pad - Large, Wide (Long) Black Mousepad, Stitched Edges | 48"x24"x0.12" (G-3XL):
https://www.amazon.com/Glorious-Large-Gaming-Mouse-Mat/dp/B0164KY294/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1498515621&sr=8-8&keywords=large%2Bcomputer%2Bmouse%2Bpad&th=1
I really like it. It has held up very well over the past year. I did remove the small sticker so that it is all black.

Since you didn't say, I'm going to assume you're a palm gripper...and just in case (since some people get it mixed up), low sens = using a lot of mouse movement to turn around, whereas high sens = just needs a few inches to do a 360.
Mice:
A wireless Mamba is gunna set you back $105 for the mouse alone, so I don't suggest that, even though this mouse has served me well.
Keyboards:
At that price ($110) for that Cooler Master board, it's just not worth it. Leopold is a better choice at that price range. Don't get me wrong, CM makes good stuff, but their niche is in the sub $70 range...that's when they are really good buys, but you'd have to wait for a sale, and who knows when the next one would be.
Mousepad:
I don't know how you feel about cable drag, but it makes me want to do terrible things to innocent creatures. I mentioned earlier that I am using a mouse bungee ($17) from Razer and it works well enough. The Zowie's cable is a bit too thick to fit in the last clip closest to the base, but it fits in the other two just fine and does its job of no-drag. But, if you've got enough space for the cable to stretch out...Zowie's cable is so light that you might not feel it anyway.
I went as close to the budget as I could/went over it a bit (depending on what you choose). If you're going to be dropping this much money on peripherals then you might as well get the best that will last you for years to come.
Let me know if there is anything else...
I gave my roommate the single arm NB version of that for his LG 29" ultrawide and it works great.
It's this one: https://www.amazon.com/North-Bayou-Monitor-Computer-14-3lbs/dp/B01AI2YGK4
Amazon sells an Amazon Basic stand to convert monitor mounts into laptop sends, so I got that as well.
Works fine. Typing on it right now while loading into IB. :)

My desk is super long and I dont use all of it, but the whole monitor setup will fit comfortably on a desk around 60", maybe as low as 40". It really depends on how/where you mount the monitor stands.
I highly recommend the Kazaira Extended Mousepad.

Here's how I have my racing and desk space setup.
Sim Racing
Entire desk
I have my Rift sensor and my second monitor attached to two of these monitor mounts (https://amzn.com/B01AI2YGK4). Works very well for being able to adjust it both the sensor and monitor to swing from desk to racing mode. Just have to reset the view when you launch a game. The Rift cable runs under the desk from my computer to just above the trash can - so in desktop mode I bring the cable between the pedal brackets and the legs of the desk, and racing mode it runs along side the rig. I actually have two Rift cables, one by itself and another that is in a braided nylon sleeve with a USB extension for my Leapmotion. Switching is a little bit of a pain, but the nylon sleeve is way cleaner than the "weaved" solution that Leapmotion suggests.
On the left upright for the steering mount I have a button box mounted that controls a bunch of automated scripts for switching between the two setups - change audio devices, display modes, as well as a few Teamspeak functions. When racing I disable my larger 144hz monitor so I can isolate what I'm doing to a single monitor and don't have to worry about losing a program on the other monitor that I can't see from the 80/20 rig.
I just got the aluminum extrusion rig (Bosch Rexroth), which I got locally for about $100 less than what I would have paid for an equivalent 80/20 setup through ebay. I haven't really cleaned up the wiring of the extrusion rig yet as I am in the process of adding SimVibe to the mix, which the first round of hardware should be here today!
/u/ZeosPantera, any suggestions on a 'cheap-ish' amp setup to power 2 to 4 AuraSound Transducers, ideally all separate channels?
Actually, it's a cheapest mount I could find. I used to use it for 3 screens (19"+23"+19"), currently works well for 2 screens(2x 27").
http://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Monitor-Adjustable-Screens-STAND-V003/dp/B009S7ALH8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1450884946&sr=8-2&keywords=3+monitor+stand
Here's the link. Its super thick glass, works great for keeping the desktop away from the dusty carpet.
It's actually a combination of this and this. I couldn't find one with this setup that had the requisite arm span, so I had to improvise.
https://www.amazon.com/Mount-MI-753-Computer-Monitors-Compatible/dp/B00BDT072S/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1505850684&sr=8-4&keywords=triple+monitor+stand

http://www.amazon.com/Mount-It-Articulating-Computer-Monitors-MI-753/dp/B00BDT072S
I use two 34” ultrawides sode by side using this arm:
Mount-It! MI-753 Triple Screen LCD Computer Monitor Desk Mount Stand Arm for 19, 20, 22, 23, 24 Inch Monitors VESA 75 and 100 Compatible Full Motion, Tilt, Swivel, Rotate, 66 lbs Capacity, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BDT072S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_rvs5AbSXV594K
It’s really sturdy - I bought the 3-monitor mount and removed the middle arm (I was scared the dual arm wouldn’t be wide enough for the two ultrawides). I’ve been thinking about stacking them which I think this arm can do easily - each arm can move around very freely
https://www.amazon.com/COUCHMASTER-Cycon-Ergonomic-Couch-Gaming-cushions/dp/B00CCHRJ2Q
Easiest is to just search google for the image.
Wrist rests are actually bad for posture and cause carpal tunnel/RSI, since no pressure should ever be applied to your wrist (either resting on a desk or a wrist rest) Your wrists should be floating above the desk, parallel to the ground. It's tiring at first, but you get used to it and it's better than having wrist pain for the rest of your life.
If you really want one that badly though, these ones are really good and this one is cheap.
Personally, I use the Glorious Extended Gaming Mouse Mat. You are able to put your whole keyboard on top of it, and still have tons of room on it for the mouse.
Only problem with the White is that it will get dirty over time, but it cleans easily. Absolutely no problems with it in CSGO or any other games!
If you're in the US, Amazon also sells these for practically the same price, with Prime shipping. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NOCZB78/ref=twister_B00OZ6M4KY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
The XXXL is also on a lightning deal atm.
While I appreciate your background choice, I felt like there was something missing, some - thing... then it hit me, your mousepad is the equivalent of “missing leg day”...

The 3 that I know of are:
Mionix Sargas 900
XTRAC PADS Ripper XXL
Razer Goliathus Extended
You can also get these gun cleaning mats. They're made of the same materials as mouse pads. Plus, the designs look pretty sweet on a desk.
Tek Mats
Sure, bought this one for the keyboard and this one for the mouse
They are pretty solid but still pretty soft and have a kind of neoprene feel to them. As I said above I only had them for about a day now but I like them so far.
I use this for the quickfire pro
This might be helpful for you.
Here's a pic.
I've got this mount holding the ACER XB270HU on top and this mount holding the Asus VG248QE on the bottom. I used only one of the posts and bolted it through the top wood part instead of using the clamp. Barely fits both!

I have this, which is pretty similar, but a bit bigger, and like it quite a bit. It's lasted over 2.5 years at this point and still going strong. Pretty smooth too.
Is this the stand you have: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001NPEC5A/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0023ED22Y&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0V3A26BY4JMQF3ZPWGET

It's an Ergotech 100-D16-B03. There is essentially no wobble.
You're going to call me dumb when I tell you this but, I don't run in surround. I think the idea is cool, but the interface is shotty at best. I'll explain. So normally I game on the middle monitor with a stream up on my right monitor and something to read on the left. The surround doesn't have "true" maximize so the windows are basically maximized but still show the border, that annoys me.
As far as the monitors, I love them, albeit I'd like to replace them for the BenQ 24" 120hz.
For me, the case is a sign of power. When I was much younger, my first job was at a computer shop and one of the guys there had a really big case with all kinds of badassery inside and ever since I started making money and building awesome gaming rigs, I've always got a big case.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001NPEC5A/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 is my monitor stand.
I'd recommend a Grifiti Fat Wrist Pad to go with that Mech for comfort while typing/resting palms!
I think its the "grifiti" wrist rest for small mechanical keyboards. http://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Keyboards-MacBooks-Notebooks-Neoprene/dp/B004DANDN4/ref=sr_1_11?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1377035435&sr=1-11
Edit: Spelled product name wrong.
Just get a cheap 1080p monitor with a vesa mount.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0052ATODM/ref=psdc_490624011_t4_B00B21TLQU like this
or a dual monitor stand
This post is more than likely going to be removed by a mod. Post it in /r/askbattlestations
I personally mount mine on my desk vs. the wall as the mounting the monitor in the wall will leave holes in the wall afterward. Here is the mount I use
Here is one for the wall
Your laptop appears to have a M5970 /w VGA, HDMI and DisplayPort and Eyefinity support.
I'd recommend x2 of these IPS screens: Dell u2410. These screens have very good picture quality and their connections fits your laptop prefectly. They are pricy, but IPS provides the best picture quality.
You may also check 2412 and the 2312, however they do not have HDMI.

Mechanical /w Cherry MX blue, or MX Brown if you prefer more silent keys (video comparing sound levels).
Check out brands like DAS, Filco, Leopold, Ducky, wasdkeyboards.com

For your laptop you got countless options. Here's my suggestions:
----
Unfortunately I can't help you with iPad or chair, but I would advice against a glass desk. You will have a harder time with cable management and you will always be able to see your cables. If you get a desk such as the Galant series from Ikea, you get more options for cable management (such as trays and cable holes).

Attach one monitor to another? Not a great idea. What you should use is a VESA mount that allows it to be positioned where you need it. Here is just one example https://www.amazon.com/North-Bayou-Monitor-Computer-14-3lbs/dp/B01AI2YGK4/
I have two of these and they're great. Looks overall very similar to the Rosewill model, except this one supports up to 14.3lbs, whereas the Rosewill only supports up to 13.2lbs. This one has gone on sale for $20 pretty regularly -- I bought both of mine at this price on separate occasions.
different brand, but this mouse mat gets brought up a lot here. no edgelord branding, higher quality, just a better all around pad.
I'd recommend this over anything else.

Not 100% sure this is a great deal, since you can buy it from Amazon for only $14 more after S&H, and the comments make it sound like Ergotech is sending out faulty units for this deal.
Aside from that, has anyone used this stand before? I'm looking for a triple monitor stand and Ergotech seems like a promising company for those. Is it worth the cost?
The stand is from amazon for around 20$

You can get a monitor stand to lift your PC off the floor/carpet. I have wood floors but I still wish I got one a lot sooner. Got mine off of Amazon
Looks like one of the flavors of this stand: https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Monitor-Adjustable-Screens-STAND-V003T/dp/B00B1D03GQ/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1539739704&sr=8-19&keywords=2%2B1+monitor+clamp+stand
Just has the single monitor mount on bottom with the dual arm up top.
Boom arm for the mic is mounted is either mounted to the wall, a hole is drilled out of the top plastic cap on the mount's pole and sits in there, or the clamp can mount to the pole with the plastic cap removed or to the pole itself. My money is more on a drilled hole in the plastic or one of those boom arm mounts that require drilling into a desk that perfectly fits in the tube.
I'm looking for a triple monitor stand on amazon. I found one for about $55 does anybody else have recommendations? I have 2 24" monitors and a 22". I might even just get a dual stand and just leave the 22" off to the side.

I have no idea what that is called or where you could get it, but I am 99% sure that you could easily make one yourself for mcuh, much cheaper.
EDIT: Just saw this post linking to the product and now I'm 100% sure that what I just said is wrong.

I have also used this Monoprice variant in the past. Works just as well as the one above, friend just needed one and I switched to match my desk/build.

Ventilation on the bottom side of the case - where the PSU intake normally is on modern cases. And potentially bottom intake case fans.
Depending on your case's feet and the height of the carpet, you might be restricting how much air the PSU can pull in.
The other concern is pulling up dust & stray carpet fibers into the PSU/case, which is less of an issue on a hard surface.
My thought is if it's a pretty low-pile or berber-style carpet, it's not a big deal. If it's a medium-high or shag carpet, at least put something under the case so it's not sitting right on the carpet.
Doesn't have to be fancy. A piece of spare particle board is what I'm using at the moment. A hefty monitor stand also works.
EDIT - Also if you have pets that shed, better to keep it up off the carpet. And make sure you have decent filters on your intake fans.
Monoprice sells a nice, simple glass and metal stand that is good for this. Used it on a previous build of mine. Here’s the link for anyone looking.

Looking good, but I have two inexpensive suggestions: get this for a PC stand and get this for your headphones
I just received the glass stand and I like it a lot, used it to raise up my monitor and free up space for my keyboard and my backup HDD. It'd fit/look a whole lot better than that silly AC retail box ;)

Razer Blade: I give a thumbs up. Have seen people saying some pretty good things about it. The screen thing though... To my knowledge that isn't really a thing... that I know of at least. Maybe the people over at r/SuggestALaptop might be able to help you out with that. My suggestion to you would be to use like a docking station that is one cable to your laptop (USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type C w/ Thunderbolt) and have that run three monitors on a monitor arm like this (remember the monitors would need to have vesa mounting capabilities to do this) and roll with a setup like that for home use and just use one screen while you are on the go. Hope that helps a little and feel free to ask questions.

This should be good enough.
I have 3 of these monitors on this triple monitor mount. AMA or whatever
This ok?
I have three of these for eyefinity. This monitor is a solid choice for the price.
The stands are awful, but I picked up a triple mount (http://amzn.com/B00BDT072S) for $70 and now they're perfect.
The buttons on the back haven't been an issue for me; the only button I really use is the power button. Also, access to the buttons isn't really an issue since I mounted them.

I present you, The GamerCube
If you can get over what a pathetic loser you look like in it, it's supposedly a fantastic solution for using a mouse and keyboard from the comfort of your own couch.
I'll do you one better. Here's a link to buy one.
COUCHMASTER® Pro
I have the same board. It's pretty decent! If you're itching to upgrade some things, I recommend these purchases:
I also hacked in a USB port to make transporting the keyboard a bit easier (I travel quite a bit for work). Pics here: http://imgur.com/a/hXi6p The only part you have to buy is https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KLDPZVU and you'll likely need the ability to 3d print some standoffs (or find some other kind of non-conductive spacers to hold up the breakout board).
Could be any number of things. What kind of chair to you use? What angle are your wrists at when you're typing? Do you rest your arms/wrists on the desk as you're typing, or do you float them above the keyboard?
Between playing guitar a lot through high school (and still a fair amount now) and the amount I spend on my computer (similar to you) my wrists aren't in the greatest of shape, either, though I don't think they're as bad as yours.
As far as wrist pads, I've seen a number of people on here use Grifiti Wrist Pads, which come in sizes for Full-sized keyboards, TKL, 60% and mouse pads.
I've been thinking of getting one of them for myself.
It's actually really, really nice. It was fairly cheap on Amazon and some of the reviews warned about how dense it was and how badly it smelled. The smell went away after a few hours and even though it's dense, it's soft enough that my wrists don't hurt after typing all day.

I bought this one this week--I like it so far.
It's made by Ergotech
Amazon
Not sure if Amazon has the best price or not, but that is the stand.
Ergotech has adjustable size and can support 25 lbs per mount, costs $230.
Look into building one yourself. Black steel piping at home depot isn't terribly expensive, and assuming that you don't care to move it while it's mounted a bit of planning will let you mount VESA monitors pretty much anywhere.
The stand is an Ergotech (Model 100-D16-B03) and I bought it on Amazon
Does not allow you to rotate displays into portrait but I have no need for that and also it's a very heavy stand (25 pounds) which personally I like for stability without the need to screw it to a desk.

Grifiti Fat Wrist Pad
It's the perfect size for my board. Thank you, on the caps! The board is a poker3 rgb. When I was looking around for caps, I had seen a photo someone posted here, from about a year ago, of the translucent pudding keycaps on their poker3, and I thought it looked great, so I bought some myself. They especially look good with the white plate under the caps that come on the board.
Older post
The caps are from FlashQuark
And, you.
I actually just got it from an old job, and it dosent have any branding but from a quick search it looks like it could be this one on amazon. It's OK but its hard to get the monitor as close to the wall as I'd like it.
Yep, I share it with my boyfriend. We both spend a lot of time on the computer at home (working, playing games, redditing), so it was really important to us to have a proper workspace.
We wound up buying two matching monitors (because I'm pedantic like that) and mounting them on one of these. The mount is clamped to the desk itself, which was important, because I didn't want to mount them to the wall, nor drill holes into my table. And the articulating arms allow us to push the screens back against the wall whenever we have friends over so that we can use the whole table top.
Our laptops, miscellany papers and other things that are plugged into the monitors are all underneath the table on two wire IKEA rolling cabinets.
I absolutely love, love, love our setup. We don't distract each other while we're working because our line of vision is blocked by our screens, but we're close enough to play footsies. We have the whole length of the dining table to work, but everything tucks away whenever we have people over for dinner.
My only complaint, is that our monitors have to stay at the same height because of the monitor mount, so sometimes we bicker about the screens being too high (him) or too low (me), based on the way we sit. Not a deal breaker though, for all the other benefits the set up provides. I'm sure that if I weren't lazy I would also be able to find a setup that has independent height setups.

Sorry, that might have been a bit unclear, i meant that you could make a gaming build for 3840 x 2160 (4k / 4 times the resolution of 1080p) that would cost about $2500.
Here's something i put together that comes in a bit under budget. You’re going to ‘want’ to get an unlocked chip (can be overclocked) for a high end build. You don’t need to overclock, but you at least have the option to do so in the future. That’s what’s going to give the build some extra longevity vs a build that doesn’t have the option to overclock.
This is a m-itx (small form factor) build that won’t have a problem playing any game on Ultra at 60+fps for a long time with a GTX 1080. The monitors are 25” 1440p IPS panels that have very small bezels so they’ll look good once they’re mounted on a stand. They’ll fit on most desk / wall vesa mounts (100x100mm). I also added a 480gb ssd and a 4tb hdd as requested. The case has a bit of a “gaming” look, but it shouldn’t be too out there for you imo.

Edit: Added a rear exhaust fan (forgot the case doesn't come with one :/).

Also as nice as your monitor stand is, for your next iteration you might consider monitor arms: http://www.amazon.com/Mount--MI-752-Adjustable-Desktop-Monitors/dp/B0052AWGLE

Woops. Amazon auto-affiliated my link. It's one of these. Just need to have standard VESA mounts on your monitors.
I got my duel monitor arm from amazon, was only 44$ shipped when i ordered it. VERY sturdy,
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0052AWGLE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
EDIT: Silver Model is $208.08. However its the G247HU, and is 24".
THERE IS NO VESA MOUNT - Buy an adapter for it here
If you're like me, and you just want a simple 1440p monitor, I'd say this is a great value option. Ticks a lot of boxes for me.
Do you have monitor stands? If not, do your monitors have VESA mounts? Get monitor arms! I got this one when they were $30 each, but they have another (newer looking) model for $40 which is still really good for a gas-spring monitor arm. I've had them since July and they're still working great, I have 3 with 2x 21" and 1x27" monitors. Leaves way more room on my desk and makes it really easy to reconfigure my screens to put one in portrait or whatever. Best random accessory upgrade I've done yet!

It works great!
Yea, 30-40 is not that expensive for a stand. If 30-40 is out of your budget, then I’d understand. You get what you pay for in my opinion. If you have the stock stand, i’d just stick with that. If it is too expensive to buy a new one, i’d just stick it out, wait, and save until it is within your means. Better safe than sorry!
North Bayou Monitor Desk Mount Stand: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AI2YGK4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_IIfyCbBTCGTN8
This one is $25. If your monitor is VESA compatible, this one isn’t too shabby. It has good reviews on amazon for the price. You can drill it on the top of your desk or clamp it to the side. And if you don’t have amazon prime for the free 2 day shipping, maybe you could ask someone who does to order it for you and just pay them in cash?!
Good luck with the search!

Obviously doesn't compete with high end mounts. Maxes out at 9" over my desk with a 24" monitor, which I wish was a little higher, but it seems like most issues people have with these are with obtuse instructions. Considering it is made in china, and sold by unknown brand, I was pleasantly surprised by it's sturdiness.

I believe these are correct. I'm a bit uncertain because the ebay listing I got them from is no longer available, but I'm pretty sure this is it.
I really like this size for a mousepad; my keyboard rests on top of it and so I can always keep the keyboard and mouse lined up. When I was using a separate pad for just the mouse there was always an issue trying to slide the mouse right up next to the keyboard - either the mousepad pushes up against the keyboard and risks sliding under it, or they come apart and then it's the mouse sliding off of the pad.
I've got this one.
There is that VESA adapter to solve the stand problem anyway. It's adding a little more to the price, but it may be worth it to some, especially if they already have a mount.
Looks like a VESA mount adapter for this model is available on Amazon.
They do. I actually have had this mount with my XG270HU for the last few months and it does its job well. It's kind of pricey at $32, but it beats gluing a mounting plate/drilling holes into the back of the monitor.

a little wobble, but otherwise fine.

No, you have to purchase an adapter:
https://smile.amazon.com/Adapter-Bracket-Monitors-G227HQL-G247HYL/dp/B01771Q6U2/
I can't seem to find any in-depth, professional reviews about this monitor. PC Part Picker's list of monitors that are at least 1440p tells me the G257HU is the cheapest one it knows, and it's been like that for months.
There's no VESA mount, but there are adapters for that; this one is $32.
Vesa Mount Adapter for your monitor.
FYI, you can get a VESA adaptor for that monitor since the stand sucks so bad. I had that monitor myself for about a year and a half. I ended up selling it and buying a refurbished dell u2515h instead (same panel, better stand and I/O and comes with VESA mounts). Then I bought a second one on a really good /r/buildapcsales deal and then mounted them both.
Is this VESA mountable? I can't find any pics to say it is.
Edit: No it's not, found the adapter for it though
https://www.amazon.com/VESA-Mount-Adapter-Bracket-Monitors/dp/B01771Q6U2?th=1&psc=1
The reason I have not considered doing the plate myself is because I'm almost certain I won't get them in the same exact spot on multiple monitors. On a triple arm it would be a big deal but I suppose I could get single arms and line them up individually.
I have the same mount as you. Someone else in the thread mentioned that this one will also work: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01771Q6U2
But you have to shave some of the plastic off on the monitor itself. I'm ordering two tonight and will give them a shot instead of the one where it just holds the arm in place.

I got this and attached it to my Ergotron LX side by side arms, works great!
Acer R240HY bidx 23.8-Inch
It doesnt have monitor mount screws on the back so if you want to use it with a mount you would also need one of these
Thanks, mate! I'm using this Vivo mount and since this monitor isn't VESA compatible, I had to get this adapter as well.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01771Q6U2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
and this is half the price and does the same job and is a gas spring mount.

I have my monitors on individual mounts like this.
It's way better than the Vivo dual stand I had previously.
Hi, if you don't mind me asking, where did you find that desk? I've been looking for one like it for some time.
a.) I'd suggest a quality headset stand. Massdrop has them on sale fairly regularly, although if you have Prime you can probably pick one up relatively cheaply (less than $40 US, I believe). I'm actually using my Blue Yeti as a headset stand and it works famously.
b. I'd suggest a taupe/light beige, since it would fit with the table, and leave your possibilities open if you end up getting another desk or if you want to change the room into something else. Saves you from having to re-paint at least.
c. I personally have a monitor arm that mounts to the desk. It's an Ergotron Neo-Flex, but I wouldn't really recommend it. Not a lot of articulation since it's a mechanical hinge instead of a gas hinge like this one I was looking at before I found mine in my dad's office. Almost all of them will require a Vesa mount, but those are pretty common on Asus monitors. Even my low end 22" has one. Plus it'll free up a little real-estate on your desk for a headset stand/microphone if you want one.
I use this one for my Dell S2417DG and really happy with it.
I'm really happy with the monitor arm. It can be mounted with either a clamp or bolted with a thru hole, which is how I did it. It has an excellent range of motion, easy to instal, and has a channel for running cables.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AI2YGK4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_jBb6yb6KXAXDP
Swivel!!. A big 1080p 60hz tv could also serve your purposes if you get a mount. But HTPCs are really just normal PCs, but with a different case.

Get three of these:

Those are just the ones that I got. They make them for larger monitors as well. My largest monitor is a 27".
I have a triple monitor setup and use one of these mounts for each monitor. I can adjust all three monitors independently. I was also able to independently adjust the mounting location of each arm because they're each separate units. I, like you, have three non-matching monitors. Using three of these should accommodate the issue you've described. IMO, having three mounts is better than a single, triple monitor mount because of the versatility in placement and adjustment for each monitor. They're only $20, too. Another thing I really like about them is that the desk mounting hardware comes with two options: clamp (for edge clamping) and bolt on (for more secure and permanent desk mounting). They also have a very small footprint and so they take up very little desktop real estate. I'm very happy with these mounts and I highly recommend them.
Two single North Bayou Monitor arms
Here you go, there is better, but for the price this is pretty good

I bought this one a little over a year ago, and I love it. It's a little bulky, but that's because of the cable-management. Bonus of being half the price of the cheaper one you listed.
Keyboard is an anne pro 2 with custom keycaps, mouse is a Gpro Wireless with lizard skins sat ontop of a glorious helios/ PC specs are Ryzen 7 1700/ B350 Motar/ 16gb DDR4 3000MHz/ Msi gtx 1070ti, and the mounts are available here
Glad I could help! For reference's sake, the Z35P is on an Ergotron LX mount, and the other monitor is a Sceptre u275w-4000r on a mount I got from amazon (also, this mount does NOT swivel 360* on the lower portion, but it's a decent buy for $30)
This has worked out really well for me, and it isn't that expensive. I've had it for around 4 months.

this is the one I recently bought. been loving it so far.
this is the best I could find in Canada, though if you're located in the US, this is probably better because it has no branding at all.

They came in basically brand new. No dead pixel, no scratches. 144hz, 1440p and freesync works as advertise. You can get the VESA adapter for about $30 on Amazon and fix that adjustable stand issue.

I've purchased two scratch and dent XG270HU's and one of them was pretty much flawless, there was no sign it had ever been used. Another one had a scratch on the glossy part of the base, that's about it.
Excellent monitors that you can't go wrong with in any way, shape or form EXCEPT no vesa and a very short stand. At this price point saying "Oh it's TN," as a con is like saying a Nissan Versa doesn't handle like a Porsche. Stating it as a spec though is important and still important. This does have a quality TN panel as far as TN goes, the colors are nice and weren't washed out on either one I purchased.
As for the orange, eh, I don't see it as a big deal. I'll upload a small album of my set up changing throughout a year so you can see it just blend in with everything or be apart of the mess. Some of the pictures are from timestamp albums for things I was selling hence the multiple keyboards/mess. Album
There is an adapter to vesa mount it for sale on Amazon, it's $31.99 which is a pretty penny but if you must mount it at least you can. A monitor stand would also get you some more height if you need it.
They have made an adapter for the Acer panels for some time now.

What do you think of this one - https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NH0HTM5/
Decent price with a gas spring.
Throwing [this one] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052AWGLE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) in the mix to consider. I would imagine they are very similar, but I use the one here with two of this monitor and it is fantastic. I'm not sure if the one you linked has the cable management through the post, with an exit hole right above desk level. If so, they are basically the same. If not, I suggest the Mount-It one as it is fantastic. If you have any questions or want some pics, just let me know.
It's this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052AWGLE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This one. Just got it in yesterday. Feels super sturdy.
I've heard good things about the Ergotech Triple Stand.
My bad, I linked the incorrect one. Here is the correct one.
I think I came across that one but the height adjustment put me off. With that said, it didn't even cross my mind to check the dimensions of the monitors.
My only concern is that it doesn't have arms that can be moved forwards or backwards such as this one for example, although this is a little more expensive. I also can't find the product for sale in the UK.
I currently have two monitors, one 24" one and another small square one. I can definitely see myself using three though. I'm always having to have multiple windows open on both monitors.
How would you compare the Duronic DM653 to the Ergotech?
I have the Ergotech and I love it.
Very stable, easy to adjust, and the quick release clips for the two side monitors is very handy for when I need to pack the stand up and transport it.
Ergotech makes pretty much the best monitor stands around: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007BD0MPM/
I first bought a similar stand for my 3 monitors, but I found that the angle wasnt good enough so in the end I tried a couple others but ended up with this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Ergotech-Triple-Stand-Telescopic-100-D16-B03-TW/dp/B007BD0MPM
Its really good and saves you alot of space and looks nice. I'm not going back from using one. I agree with what Phazon_Metroid said, that if you want to move them its gonna be a hassle, but Im getting older and dont go to LAN's like ever anymore :)

I do..a lot. I like doing a lot of editing so having three screens is very much helpful. Sometimes I start thinking that 3 monitors (for me personally) isn't enough lol.
The stand I'm using is the Ergotech Triple Monitor Stand w/ Telescoping Wings
Theres also one with non-telescoping arms
I paid $277
desk stand version is on sale at Amazon now
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007BD0MPM/ref=s9_al_bw_g229_i2
I bought the clamp version from http://www.ergolcd.com/Ergotech_c_170.html and it's $245 there now.
work paid for it, like the monitors.
So I just did this and got this:
Ergotech Triple Desk Stand with Telescopic Wings (100-D16-B03-TW)
I'm reasonably happy with it but be aware that the base is very big so you kind of need a deep desk to make it work well (IMO!). I'm not sure if it will work well on your desk.
However, I did want to say that you should get the next size up stand for whatever your monitor size is. For example, if it says "support up to three 21" displays" consider it too small for you and get the stand that support three 24" monitors (unless you just want all three monitors in a straight line). If you want to be able to angle the outside monitors, you will need the ability to extend them just a bit further.
This is what mine looks like with three 24" monitors.
Here you go. $51.99 with Prime shipping.

https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Monitor-Adjustable-Screens-STAND-V003/dp/B009S7ALH8
This is the one I use and it does a pretty good job. The only thing is it's super heavy so I would get a desk that can support it and sadly the ikea linnmon can't just by itself
I'm using one with a similar design to this one, and I'm very much satisfied. It says it supports up to 24", but if I'm not wrong, those are some dell 25" with tiny bezels to fit well below the 24" max size.
Another one, which looks even more promising
Follow up from this post.
The monitor came in and it's damn near in pristine condition save for very, very, very minimal scuff marks on the bottom front bezel which you can't even see even in a lit room.
No dead or stuck pixels, excessive bleeding, banding or surprises. Still has the AOC sticker on the bezel too! Saved me a cool $250.
Bought a VIVO triple monitor vesa setup but one arm seems to be lower than the other even with max adjusting so I don't know. Maybe I put a bracket on upside down.
I also bought this Jeyi Knight (Lol) M.2 adapter from the land of China for $26 about a month ago and it has lowered my MX500 1TB drive by 5c and my ADATA SX6000 256GB by about 20c while under synthetic stress.
Looks pretty nice too. Not sure how much air it's sucking up in the bottom slow though since it's pretty close to the PSU shroud.
Funny enough, one of the cheaper ones on Amazon. But I love it.

Though it has alot of issues, it barely fit just the 3 24 inchs, the 2 side monitors didn't have an angle due to the arms being to short. The ultrawide in the center is a bit heavy for the mount which i need to add a shim to. To get the 2 side verticals to fit on the side I had to add some custom made steel brackets that extended the vesa mounts out another 5cm.
I've loved this Vivo triple monitor mount. Iirc it supports up to 27" monitors, and once you adjust & tighten the arms it's fantastic.
Thanks! Yeah the different size monitors are far from ideal for multi monitor gaming, but it's not so bad. What I do is set the game to windowed mode, then stretch the window to the dimensions of my screen. Due to my center screen being taller in resolution than my outer monitors, some stuff gets cut off the top and bottom on the side monitors. It's not really an issue, but some games do have their huds on the top and bottom corners. So you have to watch out for that. Running a setup like this though you can not setup EyeFinity or nVidia Surround as the differing resolutions mess it up. But Live for Speed and all Codemasters racing games support the windowed method I've listed. Any other game I just run single screen.
My stand is a VIVO Triple Monitor Stand (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009S7ALH8). If you're looking into doing a triple monitor setup, I would not suggest this stand. I've had my share of problems with it and I can not get my side monitors to sit height centered with my main (so alignments are a bit off in games). Good triple stands are expensive. Once the summer rolls around I'm going to build my own mount to solve my problems.
If you have to do this I say use a monitor stand to separate the two. Put the PS4 on the bottom since it has fans on the side.

It's got plenty of weight rating for a tower and the 22"x9.5" is perfect for my S340. But you can see they have plenty of bigger sizes.
And trust me, I've looked. There really isn't a whole lot else for this purpose unfortunately.
I bought one of these off of Amazon to keep my tower off the carpet. It looks nice and fits my case just right. It's made of glass so it will match your case even better. I recommend picking one up.

I have the two monitor version and the thing is very solid and stable.
This is the one the owner said he/she is using.
I used the VIVO - STAND-V001Q for the vertical monitor https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LYVCEIB
and used the VIVO - STAND-V003T for the ultrawide and the 2 27" monitors. I switched the config to have the monitor arm on the top vs the bottom. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B1D03GQ

Edit: Ohya forgot to mention - this is my first post here! Lurking for a long time. This community is awesome, and thanks for the inspiration!
I'm using this one, but for three monitors. It's really solid. I had another mount by the same company, but it was three monitors side by side, and it would constantly have leveling issues. Drove me nuts.

Right now I have a rig that has a wheel stand, pedals platform, and seat, but no monitor mount. I have my rig on wheels that I can slide right up to my desk(I play non racing games and work so I don’t use my racing seat for that). My desk is rectangle but I made the front edge curved so I can slide my rig closer to the middle monitor, as they use the attached stand that sits on a desk.
Once I get a better desk, I’m going to get a triple monitor mount though, like this one. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BDT072S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_
If you get a rig with mounts just make sure the monitor stand part has adjustability to come closer/farther from you without moving your distance to your wheel. A lot are locked to a fixed distance from the wheel, and all you can do is keep moving your seat closer to the wheel(and screens) but you can only get so close to the wheel before that doesn’t work anymore.
The monitors are all ASUS VS238H-P's. The monitor stand is a Mount It Triple Monitor Stand It isn't very good for landscape because the side monitors droop about an inch with a heavy monitor but it works great for portrait. The desk is a Ikea Desk, the Linnmon. It's can be really sturdy or fairly flimsy depending on how you put it together.
Would a triple monitor mount help your space issues at all? If would work if the issue is that your desk is not wide enough:
https://www.amazon.com/Mount-MI-753-Computer-Monitors-Compatible/dp/B00BDT072S/
Looks great! May I recommend a monitor mount for your desk, it should get you some prime real estate back.
Mount-It! MI-753 Triple Screen LCD Computer Monitor Desk Mount Stand Arm for 19, 20, 22, 23, 24 Inch Monitors VESA 75 and 100 Compatible Full Motion, Tilt, Swivel, Rotate, 66 lbs Capacity, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BDT072S/
They have versions for larger monitors as well if that's the case.
I recommend looking on Amazon.com at brands like Vivo, Mount-It, and AmazonBasics for good mounts for reasonable prices.
If a single triple monitor mount is not enough to properly fit all of the monitors you could get 3 singles. Make sure all of your screens have VESA mounting holes. If they have different VESA mount sizes you can get size adaptors.
Triple monitor mount 1: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BDT072S/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_VD5OCbJX1ZC75
Triple monitor mount 2 (more flexible): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06X9D7JWP/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_uD5OCbF76S6YM
Single monitor mount (X3): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B21TLQU/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_xE5OCbW8QX4H4
Once you go VESA mounted you never go back, so worth it man. I have my TV mounted on a VESA arm for playing Halo/Xbox, and my work desk has double monitor setup is VESA mounted too and it's worth the cleaness and space saving.
For your price range i would go with this one
I used to have a setup like that and honestly the only thing I can recommend is buying a triple monitor stand like this and having the monitors hang off the end of the desk, over your wheel. Then when you're done, unbolt the thing and move it to the other end of your desk. Getting it set up and taken down is a pain in the ass, but worth it if you race a lot.
I actually just bought this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BDT072S/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1474254241&sr=8-2&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=monitor+triple+arm+desk+mount&dpPl=1&dpID=41i6t%2BGOV3L&ref=plSrch
It's a triple monitor mount but you don't have to use the middle one (removable) this allows the outside arms to be long enough to hold both. I currently have a 27" and 34" on it just fine. I can snap a pic tomorrow if you'd like.
I have had this for a little over a year and I have loved it. It lets me move them with easy and running the cables through the main tube part means I can have great cable management.
There is also this:

My only advice is that it's impossible to tell whats going to work for you without simply trying it out first. Also it won't be very competitive so hopefully you like single player games.

Davon hatte Simon letzte Woche erzählt
Is this what you're looking for, or something like this?
I used this keyboard for a while till something got spilled on it :(. Very good keyboard especially when you use This wrist rest. Hope that helps! also I prefer brown switches. come check out /r/MechanicalKeyboards ! Its a good community.
>I can't rest the top of my writst/start of palm on anything
Get a wrist rest, there's all sorts of options out there.
>The keys feel like they got a sort of chrome(?) finish to them. It's a really strange feeling and sometimes when I type my fingers make a tiny squeaking noise because I move my fingers from one key to another before the first key is back all the way up.
That's probably just the stock UV coated keycaps. They're the cheapest to manufacture but also don't feel all that great. You might look into buying some aftermarket non-coated ABS or PBT keycaps.
Oh my god yes the Klipsch sound system is incredible! Since my board also has a integrated sound card they sound absolutely insane I was really impressed as I was looking for sound systems to buy online when my friend offered to sell me the Klipsch. As for the keyboard great choice! That was actually my first keyboard and I absolutely loved it! Mx browns are by far the best all round switch there is, it has the tactile feedback that blues do but not so clicky. Since the TK doesnt have a wristpad go with one of these! - http://www.amazon.com/Tenkeyless-Mechanical-Keyboards-Steelseries-Notebooks/dp/B00FPDAU6Q/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1409531997&sr=8-2&keywords=grifiti+fat+wrist+pad
Also if you're interested here's where I got my Trigger-Z - http://www.cmstore-usa.com/cm-storm-trigger-z-fully-backlit-mechanical-gaming-keyboard-with-cherry-mx-brown-keyswitches/
As OP says in the description of the last picture, the keyboard is a Ducky Shine 3 with cherry mx brown switches, and a Grifiti tenkeyless wrist pad.
It seems that OP may have desoldered the old blue LEDs from the keyboard and resoldered white ones to which he has added colour changers, or he simply added the color changers and cranked up the light intensity of the blue LED-s
I think I just got the Grifiti Fat wrist pad.
http://www.amazon.com/Grifiti-Standard-Keyboards-Mechanical-Materials/dp/B004D8PYE2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1406737638&sr=8-2&keywords=grifiti
or
http://www.amazon.com/Tenkeyless-Mechanical-Keyboards-Steelseries-Notebooks/dp/B00FPDAU6Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406737638&sr=8-1&keywords=grifiti
Depending on your keyboard length.
I like the Gritifi Fat. Pretty cheap, and comfortable. I'd say it's about the right height for my Pro S as well.
A popular one seems to be the Grifiti fat wrist pad, I don't know myself because I use a towel as my wrist pad :)
https://www.amazon.com/Grifiti-Keyboard-Tenkeyless-Mechanical-Keyboards/dp/B00FPDAU6Q
I think there are much much worse ways to spend $15. Unless you have pets or kids, its not going to get ripped up and chewed on.
Edit: I actually have the skinnier version of that. Looks like mine is 2 inches, not 4.
I'd suggest one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/Grifiti-Tenkeyless-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboards/dp/B00FPDAU6Q
I have the tenkeyless version and it's amazing. I'm going to be taking the original wrist rest off my K70 and get the larger grifiti pad to use instead.
My first mech was a brown as well, I found the change over really stressed my wrist out because of the pressure change. Getting one of these really helped out the strain. http://www.amazon.com/Tenkeyless-Mechanical-Keyboards-Steelseries-Notebooks/dp/B00FPDAU6Q
Grifiti
CM Masterkeys PBT S and a Grifiti 14.
It seems to be Grifiti Fat Wrist Pad, $13.98.

the faster the ram the better. also you might want to get a mouse mat
https://www.amazon.com/Glorious-Extended-White-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B00NOCZB78
but I would get a white glorious mouse mat to go with your black keyboard and mouse. also if you want more storage you can go for a 500gb ssd instead od a 1tb and get like a 4tb hdd. The case I can change out if you want. also you can go to cable mod to get custom hand sleeved cables.Also get 1 34 inch curved monitor instead of three. here's a review of one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_GXkjPAkDw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XB_OaRgVEsY
https://www.amazon.com/Glorious-Extended-White-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B00NOCZB78 this is the popular one, but this one is my alternative: https://www.amazon.com/XYK-800x300x3mm-Extended-Non-Slip-Special-Textured/dp/B071ZSNZ9Z/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?keywords=xyk+mouse+mat&qid=1562451904&s=gateway&sr=8-2
That will make it look great and a triple monitor would definitly make a difference. I would center the monitors and use some cable management.
And I saw this on YouTube video recently that made a clean look. It's a big mouse pad that makes come together.
Also I can see that you got a headset on the desk, I would recommend that headset stand. These small details will definitely make a clean and elegant look so the desk really can shine and stand out.
Great job by the way!
https://www.amazon.com/Glorious-Extended-White-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B00NOCZB78
Thanks for replying just a few questions by white and black you mean something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Glorious-Extended-White-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B00NOCZB78/ref=sr_1_17?keywords=black+and+white+mouse+pad&qid=1562327044&s=gateway&sr=8-17
and can you send a link or a picture of a swing arm?
I just have the extended one here.
This is the keyboard mat, this is the case.
I wouldn't reccomend the 400C in any variant, and the 460x/570x don't have a great internal design either. They're not really very easy to cable manage in, the radiator support is extremely limited (you can realistically can't fit a 360mm in without removing the mechanical drive bay entirely. S340 Elite wasn't much better, no top radiator support is far from ideal.
I'd take a look at something like the Define R6 in white. Doesn't have the front glass but has much better cable routing and options for HDDs to be installed. All white version won't be out until 3/7/18 but it might be worth it from what I've seen.
Mousemat is Glorious Extended White Gaming... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NOCZB78?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
The majoras mask figure I got on Amazon, the bronze Cayde statue was a gamestop exclusive.
As for how deep the desk is im not sure, a large space is taken up by my monitors
Like this one?
The Glorious Extended Gaming Mouse Mat
My bad I skimmed to the comments.
White Headset
White Keyboard
White Mouse Mat
White Mouse
I sort of cheated though because my husband is a huge corsair fan. 🙃
This isn't exactly the same one that I have but for some reason I can't find the link anymore to the one I have but I found this one!

He currently has a 1TB SSHD. This is an HDD that has a very small amount of very fast cache. The HDD identifies your most used files and puts those files on this cache.
There are 3 main types of storage:
If your brother is not super tech savy, then I wouldn't necessarily recommend this option since it requires him to reinstall his operating system and this can be problematic if he isn't familiar with the process.
A Mechanical Keyboard, Oversized Mouse Mat, Mouse like the Logitech G502, may be an easier and less stressful option.

The entire build is themed White, black, with purple highlights. The RAM is white with controllable RGB (set it to purple), the stock Wraith cooler is controllable RGB (set to purple), the motherboard is black and white with controllable RGB (set to purple), the GPU is powerful enough for 1440p 60fps ultra settings and is white, the keyboard is one of many potential options with full RGB (set to purple), the mouse is black and white with RGB (set to purple).
Now, here's some more stuff not listed-
https://cablemod.com/product-category/basic-cable-kits/page/2/
With cablemod, you can easily get a G3 compatible cable kit that is either white, purple, or purple and white depending on if you go with a basic cable kit or you make a custom one. They also sell other things, so depending on how nuts you want to go, look that site over. Things like purple thumbscrews, purple SATA cables, etc. Note- the cable kit MUST be G3 compatible, or you will fry your system. Thankfully there are tons of G3 compatible kits there.
Next, you could do either black and white fans OR black and RGB controllable fans set to purple. This case can support 2x 120mm fans in the back and top, and 2x 140mm fans in the front. I picked out Fractal un-lit fans simply due to quality and I'm not sure how lit up you want this case to be. However, something like a the Corsair HD 120mm 3x pack with controller would be a suitable choice here. I use that myself, and the purple setting would complement nicely. Other fan kits also exist, some with more fine control over what colors you want such as this would emit less light, but have much more control over what color you want through a program versus the switch on the Corsair. You could do 5x 120mm here, but the 140mm option in the front would make less noise and push more air. The Nzxt Aer 140mm would work in conjunction with the 120mm 3x pack, since it all leads to the same controller.
Oh, and here is a white with black outline cloth mouse pad, white would round this all out nicely. https://www.amazon.com/Glorious-Extended-White-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B00NOCZB78
The Nzxt H440 also comes in a similar color scheme if you want a different case option with better airflow and more space to work with. I believe you can also purchase the tempered glass panel they use in the S340 elite and use that directly with the standard model, but I'm not 100% positive on that. Glass would look nicer, so you might want to consider the Elite S340 in plain white instead. Up to you.
Hope you like this!
Edit2- You could also set case fans to emit a white light, thus illuminating your interior more.
Here is an optional SSD that comes in white or black, and emits RGB controllable lighting https://www.teamgroupinc.com/en/product/delta-s-rgb-ssd
You could also use an M.2 drive such as the 970 evo if you want the SSD to be hidden more (and it's obviously much faster, though not noticeable for gaming).

same here, I play at 600 to 1400 depending on the game or class. Changed the sniper button to extinguisher. Forward button is comms, rear button is toggle optics.
I also have one of these covering my desk.

Sorry for taking my time /u/AliceWolff as you.. can see I did spend a lot of time on this.
Okay, after all the information I managed to gather from you. I managed to get a pretty extreme PC without going "over the top".
I will provide you with a rationale for each part.
As well as my standard list of videos to help you understand why I suggest these products.
Then I also include some great guides to help you build the PC.
Lastly, I will drop a lot of software to help you with overclocking.

Mouse pad is so worth the money and its a mouse pad alot of pros use, Its so smooth and just perfect you can wash it easily just by putting it in the washing machine on cold setting and air drying it out (just lay it on the back of a chair or something) I would highly recommend it and its a HUGE mouse pad too.
Hey man. So I am in the same pool of heroes but with a higher sens than you (3.5/1600 for hitscans, 4/1600 for reaper/zarya, 6/1600 for Winston/anything that doesn't really need aim).
I am rocking the Logitech G502 with this mouse pad (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0164KY294/ref=twister_B00OZ6M4KY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1)
The pad is REALLY big but I've had zero issues with using my arm to turn quickly and wrist for my flick shots. I'm averaging 20-30 crits with around 50-60 accuracy as mcree, depending on the day. It's a great quality pad if you have the room for it. They have smaller sizes as well. I really like the quality of the pad and this this large pad, if one side wears out from use (which I doubt it will) you can always turn the pad 180 degrees and viola! New pad! Let me know if you have any questions from my pleb level (mid diamond rn) and I'd be happy to answer!

...or whatever the biggest one is that that company makes. It has held up well over the past few months, protects the wood desk, and was pretty cheap. If they made a truly fullsize one i'd get it.

It's comfortable, you can also use it to play card games on. I've been using a Xtrac XXL for a couple years now. Even though it sounds dumb, it isn't as cold as a glass tabletop which is nice.
They are acctually giant mouse pads made by XTracPads. There are 2 on the desk, my old one and the new one I just bought when I moved.
Thank you!
The Mousepad is the XXL Ripper LINK
I love it so much I travel with one everywhere. Great way to deploy a mobile battlestation.
My favorite feature is the mouse and keyboard are on the same surface so the keyboard doesn't keep hitting the edge of the mouse pad when I game.
no its just a huge black pad

XTracPads Ripper XXL. It's a bit old and frayed on the edges because it's not stitched liked newer ones. I've washed it a few times now and it's still decent.

I have a Boogie Bug XL but I believe they have stopped making these, however, this one from Akasa is similar. Nothing beats a mouse mat that takes up the whole desk!

I'm a huge fan of Corsair's peripherals. I'm using a Scimitar mouse and K70 RGB keyboard right now. Never had any quality issues myself, but their customer support is superb. I really like their aesthetic.
Logitech is a solid choice if you like their products. Personally I'm not into it, but I don't care for "gamer" stuff in general.
As for audio, I wouldn't recommend a headset of any kind. Personally, I use a pair of AKG K553 Pros, a FiiO E10K DAC/amp, and an Audio Technica AT2020 mic. That said, I understand that not everyone cares about audio as much as I do. If you're happy with the sound quality of your Krakens, you could get most any Logitech, Corsair, SteelSeries, etc. headset in the same price range and get comparable results.
This is the mouse pad I use. I don't care about flashy lights or fancy designs, I just wanted a large mouse pad.

They are a bit more expensive, but ErgoTech makes some amazingly solid mounts. great cable management, adjustable in just about every way, and can be free standing. This one seems to fit your bill for about $180 on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Ergotech-Triple-Horizontal-Monitor-100-D16-B03/dp/B001NPEC5A/
Mount stand :) http://www.amazon.com/Ergotech-Triple-Horizontal-Monitor-100-D16-B03/dp/B001NPEC5A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1370570573&sr=8-2&keywords=triple+monitor+stand
I use 3 ASUS VN247H-P displays with an Ergo tech triple monitor stand shown here. I love my setup.
So... I would recommend a laptop that you can dock and can do some virtualization.
http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/Dell-Latitude-E6420-Intel-Core-i7-2.7GHz-256GB-SSD-14-inch-HDMI-Laptop/9444363/product.html?refccid=47LBAHF2LWNL7K2O36TPNSKXOY&searchidx=6
You can upgrade the memory to 16Gb and then get a port relicator for multimonitor setup.
http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/Dell-IMSourcing-NEW-F-S-430-3114-Port-Replicator/9048000/product.html?refccid=5XI2HQKY4AW3H2KC6MHEQQND6I&searchidx=0
I recommend this one because it has 2 DVI ports, vga, hdmi, dsub, 5 usb (2 back, 3 side), and basically everything you need in a port replicator.
Those particular laptops come with a 256GB SSD (Samsung, Seagate, or some other vendor, just depends but I've found most use Samsung and Seagate).
You can get 16GB kit would should be plenty for most virtualization and the 2.7GHz has hyper threading as well.
Wireless is I think the Intel 7620-AC Dual band but there is an additonal slot for a secondary card. (I think there is actually 3 slots total but only enough wires for 2 cards).
Network is 10/100/1000
You're going to be hard to find a better laptop with all that for cheaper. Brand new these things run around 1200 - 1500 depending.
Now the only thing that really bugs me when buying those is it's going to be a grab bag on whether you get a 9w (extended battery) or not.
If you don't get a 9w battery then I'd recommend picking one up.
The monitors and everything else is up to you but that would be my recommendation for what you're looking for.
Edit: Forgot these are also super easy to take apart. 7 screws on the back and the panel comes off super easy.
Edit 2: Also, because those sell out, make sure if you go on overstock that the processor is the 2.7ghz i7 if you want to do virtualization.
Also here is the specs on the processor that come with it.
http://ark.intel.com/products/52231/Intel-Core-i7-2620M-Processor-4M-Cache-up-to-3_40-GHz
Edit 3: Sorry keep forgetting things. Those laptops come with some shitty chinese replacement chargers. They can cause issues with the touch pad while charging. However the port replicator (docking station) should come with a legit Dell charger that will work for the laptop as well since it's universal.
Edit 4: Decided to add my personal recommendations for monitors, monitor stand, mouse, and keyboard. You do your own research though.
Monitor x3: Dell E2414H - 1980, Vesa mount, DVI and VGA
http://www.amazon.com/Dell-E2414Hr-24-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00FE8MKTM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1450473050&sr=8-2&keywords=dell+24+e2414h+monitor
Monitor Stand: 3 Arms I'd go with http://www.amazon.com/Ergotech-Triple-Horizontal-Monitor-100-D16-B03/dp/B001NPEC5A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1450473096&sr=8-1&keywords=ergotech+3+monitor
There are a lot of options with monitor stands but I like Ergotech so YMMV
Mouse: Tons of options but for I really enjoy my G602 http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wireless-Gaming-Mouse-Battery/dp/B00E4MQODC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1450473201&sr=8-1&keywords=logitech+g602
Keyboard: I love blue switches and having a numpad on a TKL is amazing. CoolerMaster has some pretty amazing mechanical keyboards. I recommend this one. http://www.amazon.com/CM-Storm-QuickFire-TK-Mechanical/dp/B00A378L4C/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1450473227&sr=8-3&keywords=cm+rapid+fire+tk
Otherwise I currently use a the Quick Fire Rapid with blue http://www.amazon.com/Coolermaster-SGK-4000-GKCL1-US-Storm-QuickFire-Rapid/dp/B0068INSUM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1450473343&sr=8-1&keywords=cm+quick+fire+rapid+blue
I recommend browsing on https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/ or /r/mechanicalkeyboards
Go for it, you will love it!
They are both IPS displays and coincidentally they both use the same 23" LG IPS panel. So... beyond a few case differences (The Eizo lacks tilt, swivel and height adjustment) and some calibration they will both wind up looking exactly the same. Whatever monitor you prefer and who offers the better price will be the ultimate factor. You should be able to score the 23"" Dells for around $230/ea
I debezeled my panels (http://www.wsgf.org/forum/forums/hardware-software-support/hardware-discussions/18530/bezel-less-diy-also-valuable-users) so that they would look a lot nicer than stock. I even recently put them on a Triple monitor stand from Ergotech (http://www.amazon.com/Ergotech-Triple-Horizontal-Monitor-100-D16-B03/dp/B001NPEC5A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1341967480&sr=8-1&keywords=ergotech+triple+monitor+stand) and it looks a lot more clean now.
Feel free to check out my videos too. I even have some Guild Wars 2 footage (http://www.youtube.com/my_videos?feature=nanahara72)
Once you have Eyefinity, you will never go back. Some of the older games require 5-20minutes worth of work but the experience is worth it.
I use this: Ergotech stand with 3xx U2412m's and it works awesome.
I got THIS I saw the $87 tag on it and thought it was too good to be true. If it's holding three $200+monitors I want something sturdy and reliable. How do you like the stand you got? :) Just curious. I might recommend the one you got to save my friends some money.
This one. It's pretty easy to work with. If you want to get it exact you'd need a level and a ruler and take some time. I didn't have the time nor did i care enough to get it absolutly perfect
You must get this. You really can't appreciate a 3 monitor setup until they're all mounted together on one stand. Having them lifted up instead of hugging the table makes a huge difference. Idk why, it just does.
It's an Ergotech Triple Horizontal LCD Monitor Arm Desk Stand
I bought a wrist pad like this. I had the same problems but this has seemed to fix it - at least for a Keycool84 brown and a Das4 pro brown.
I'd actually recommend you get a separate wrist rest, that way you have your choice of material(such as wood or foam ones), and separate wrist rests are usually better than the ones on stock keyboards like the K70. I've had one before and the wrist rest was kinda meh.
Thanks! I try to keep most of the stuff off of it, but more often then not i am taking stuff my girlfriend puts on their almost immediately. I got the wristpads on amazon for around 14 bucks for the 17in pad and 9bucks for the 8in mouse rest. I highly reccomend, as they have saved my wrists from a ton of stress and from resting on the sharp edge of the desk.
I am a big fan of the Grifiti fat wrist pads. I have them at work and at home. I have an extra fullsized pink one if anyone wants it.
To add about the wrist pad, get one that's about the height of your keyboard so your wrists won't fall into a weird angle causing stress, which I've noticed a lot of the stock wristpads that come with keyboards do cause your wrists to do.This one is pretty good. I got it on sale for about $6.
Another good one is this. They both sit about as high as a standard keyboard so you won't be causing any strain on your wrists.
A mouse-pad with a cushion may also help you, like this. It all comes down to preference though, as I like flat, large mousepads, but these can help reduce strain and keep your wrist straight.
I have this keyboard with this wrist rest: http://www.amazon.com/Grifiti-Standard-Keyboards-Mechanical-Materials/dp/B004D8PYE2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1370432069&sr=8-3&keywords=keyboard+wrist+rest
It's the perfect fit. Without it, I find the keyboard a bit too high.
I use this. Not nearly as fancy or nice-looking, but it's way cheaper. I believe there are other sizes/colors for the same brand.
I use one of these (I have the smaller one for my 60% keyboard). I absolutely love it. It's firm but still cushioning and hasn't smashed down a single cm in the 3 months I've been using it.
Looks like this one
Maybe this?
You can't attach one, however you can buy one that just sits next to the keyboard for pretty cheap.
Personally, I made one out of an old mousepad and a cut up carpet tile

Keep in mind you don't get any backlighting, but the Hyper X keeb only has red backlighting, so not much difference, I can find boards with backlighting if you really want that.
Do you really need an attachable wrist rest? Most of the boards that come with attachable wrist rests are straight ass and you can go get an actually good wrist rest with your leftover money. Getting something like a cheapo Grifiti (https://www.amazon.com/Grifiti-Standard-Keyboards-Mechanical-Materials/dp/B004D8PYE2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1520804201&sr=8-2&keywords=grifiti&dpID=41cU5l3UN2L&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch) is way better than most of the plastic shit that comes with your mainstream boards.
If you're just looking for a comfortable wrist rest I'll shout out Grifiti wrist rests. Quality stuff, and it feels very good. Amazon has you covered. Different colors and sizes also available. That wrist rest is thick, and fits the CM case dimensions well.
You may find this a little more suitable. It's not a full length but it is a tad more ergonomic. I bought it for the same reason you mentioned though I just use no wrist wrest now. There is also this which doesn't attach to the keyboard itself but it still a pretty comfortable option. I've also used these and if I had choose between the stock wrist wrest, the "FPS" wrest, or the foam one, I'd probably choose the foam.

Here you go! Amazon.com link. I don't own it myself, but I've only read good things about it so far. I'm planning to get one soon.
Great review! I've been seriously considering an FC660M with clears from Qtan's shop, especially since I sold my MX Brown board a few weeks ago. I just feel guilty spending all my money on keyboards recently, haha...

Feel free to bug. It's tough finding arms that can reach over other monitors. The three middle ones are held up with single monitor mounts. I'm able to get them over the bottom monitors because I have a desk with a second level that they are connected to similar to this.
The TV on top is on a vertical mount which is sitting on a box and held down with weights. Kind of ghetto but I never look behind there anyway.
Hello! I did some research on VESA mounts for ultrawides and I've seen recommendations for the Ergotron MX, but it's rather out of my price range.
I was wondering if there are lesser expensive options? I will be using a DELL U3415W.
Would this be good enough? http://www.amazon.com/Mount-MI-751-Adjustable-Articulating-Insignia/dp/B0052ATODM/ref=pd_sim_147_8?ie=UTF8&dpID=31aj4wqPIdL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR127%2C160_&refRID=1R7165JG9F63RWSJ8946
I have the same monitor but 29 inch. It is so much better with a mount, the stock stand is way too short.
this is what I got
Hi! I'd definitely recommend a mount, as it clears up a great deal of desk space. I'll post a link to the one I got off Amazon below. As far as mounting it, if you have the exact same desk then the mount/clampdown screws should line up perfectly with the metal frame under the desk on any of the corners. If you have any other questions or want more detailed pics just PM me.

This will probably get the job done for you without breaking the bank
Yeah, the mount supports 75x75 and 100x100. Right, so what I was trying to say (I'm terrible at explaining things) is that I have two separate arms on one post that are at different heights. I took the dual-arms from another mount-it, removed an arm from the hub they connect to, and put it on the same post at the laptop stand. So I bought two mount kits and combined them. Maybe I'll take a picture when I get home. With the mounts, the arm(s) are literally whatever position vertically that you want. You have to tighten a bolt to keep it/them from sliding down. I have two of these on one post, but I had to buy another mount and take the arm from it and add it to the first kit's post.
It's like if you bought two of these and threw one of the posts away. You would take the second arm and put it on the first post.
You can get 1 - 6 arms, they are given as different colors of the product, follow the link here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052ATODM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I absolutely love the mount, it works great for me because I don't need to drill any holes into my wall because I can just attach to my desk. The mount I have is a Mount-It! Articulating Single Arm.
Here's the link to it on Amazon:

Mount-It! MI-751 Single Monitor Mount: amazon .com/Mount-It-MI-751-Adjustable-Articulating-Insignia/dp/B0052ATODM
I recommended these Mount it! brand monitor arms in another thread here the other day. I found them from seeing it in someones battlestation pictures and with his recommendation to someone I purchased a double and single arm for my triple 27" setup.
Pros:
Fantastic value,
very solid construction,
no sagging,
light padding on the part that gets clamped to the desk(so no desk scratches),
All that sweet sweet desk space freed up
Cons:
It takes some time and an allen key to get each individual joint to move in fluid manner with respect to your preference in being able to pull/push and rearrange them at will.
As for the TV I don't know what the mounting pattern is on your TV nor the weight. Those are two things you should check out before you order the mounts
Oops, read it to fast! This one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052ATODM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00
It barely fit on my desk and I ended up removing a section of the upper arm. It's good but for my needs, I wish I got something else.
Hi, for me the simplest way to make a gaming/work station more ergonomic is to mount the screen on a ergonomic screen mount like this :
https://www.amazon.com/Mount-Monitor-Adjustable-Screens-MI-752/dp/B0052AWGLE/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1509528233&sr=8-17&keywords=ergonomic+screen+mount
And just doing simple cable management would make this really more enjoyable with something like https://www.amazon.com/Kootek-Management-Concealer-Organizer-Reversible/dp/B01GCS77TU/ref=sr_1_1?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1509528498&sr=1-1&keywords=cable+management
or this https://www.amazon.com/YOCOU-3-Channel-Management-Organizer-Solution/dp/B01KUG90F4/ref=sr_1_12?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1509528498&sr=1-12&keywords=cable+management
I hope that could help you
You can probably wall mount this one.
I got this one Amazon Warehouse for ~$37: http://www.amazon.com/Mount--Monitor-Adjustable-Screens-MI-752/dp/B0052AWGLE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1464017127&sr=8-1&keywords=mount+it+dual+mount
It holds my 34" (~22 pounds) and my 27" (not sure). They both FIT in landscape too, but just BARELY and with about a 15 degree angle. 29 would defintiely fit. Its very sturdy, I have to really tigthen up the screws that allow for adjusting the monitor tilt but your 29" will probably weigh less than the max 22 pound
consider something like that or two singles.. I still haven't decided which would be better but I'm happy with mine
I have this arm with a 34" and 27" and it has been great.

Sure thing!
I had to make a custom wood piece to get around a metal bar under the table, and disperse the clamping force from the 2 screws. Since this is a glass table i did not want to clamp directly to the glass. Just some particle board and screws. For the cabling, i utilized the built in wire supports on the mount arms, and black zip ties. Kind of a rats nest underneath the table, but i tried to clean it up as best i could compared to how it was before.
My monitor mount is something like the - supplied by my work so not sure the exact product.
This is what I use for my two 27" monitors and I love it!

2 questions for this monday morning:
TIA!
This
I had to cut 3 x 3 x 3 inches into the middle of the upper shelf in order to fit the mount.
Dual monitor arm! Here's the one I have:
http://www.amazon.com/Mount--MI-752-Adjustable-Desktop-Monitors/dp/B0052AWGLE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453602291&sr=8-1&keywords=Mount+it+dual+monitor+arm
This is one of the more cheaper options. You have pretty good options on how you can mount it, and they're fairly solid in terms of build quality.
Just make sure your monitors are VESA compatible.
If you're starved on desk space with your multiple-monitor setup, it's definitely worth it.
The tower is facing out mostly due to the fact that I sit more man-spread than straight legged. As far as mounting the monitors goes, I've been look at getting a cheap one off amazon:
(https://www.amazon.ca/Mount-Monitor-Adjustable-Screens-MI-752/dp/B0052AWGLE/ref=sr_1_4?s=office&ie=UTF8&qid=1504723959&sr=1-4&keywords=dual+monitor+stand)
Would you be able to recommend a monitor mount?
Try this one
I'd put my bet on this one : http://www.amazon.ca/Mount--Articulating-Computer-Monitors-MI-752/dp/B0052AWGLE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1377761730&sr=8-3&keywords=Mount+It+dual . Maybe /u/Krylosac can confirm?
Edit: Krylosac, do you recommend this stand? I might buy it, it looks neat.
It's a dual monitor stand. Specifically this one.
And then I got the same stand in the single monitor version for the right side.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052AWGLE/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I bought this MountIt! monitor stand off Amazon. It's not the greatest in the world, but it gets the job done decently imo. There's a few other similar ones on Amazon if you look at related products.
We actually purchased these stands for these desks: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052AWGLE/
They are shown in the picture. I also thought that I would like they loud keys on mechanical keyboard but I would rather a quieter keyboard at this point.
If the table is sturdy you can get one of these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052AWGLE?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 and some of this velcro http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006IC2U?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01
I have it hanging down from the front of my desk and it's very sturdy. The velcro is also extremely secure, I can rotate the sticks so they're hanging upside down and they can stay like that for days without losing grip. Only downside is that the pole sticks out 18 inches from what it's secured to, and the fasteners stick up 5-6 inches from the surface.

Buy a big one and cut it into whatever shape you want, and keep backup mousepads for when you spill shit.

That's a XTracPads Ripper XXL. A few people have complained that theirs have started separating on the edges. I've had mine for a few months now and haven't had any problems, but I've heard that the ones from here are stitched on the edges if that worries you.

Was looking at this arm

Reviews of it have been great and it looks like it suits be pretty well. However, wondering if there's anything just as good, but cheaper. I'm new to mounts, so I'm not sure if $200 is steep or not. There seem to be a lot more expensive ones, but also some cheaper ones.
I wanted to go with one of those, but I currently have a glass desk and didn't think those would mix well. If you ever look for a tri stand, there are basically two that can handle 3 24"s: a reasonably priced one, and a really expensive one. I got the former and have been very happy with it.
i am in the market for the same thing. based on this review i am looking at the Ergotech Triple and its $180
This one seems pretty reliable. I don't know however, as I've only stuck with one monitor, but from the reviews it seems pretty good.
If you're considering spending $200 on a monitor stand, I will recommend this: http://www.amazon.com/Ergotech-Triple-Horizontal-Monitor-100-D16-B03/dp/B001NPEC5A/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1404837802&sr=8-4&keywords=triple+monitor+stand
The company I work for purchased 4 of these for our new computers and they are sturdy. Linustechtips just did a review for the "wing arm" varient. He does also mention a DIY or community made solution but I have not looked into this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-raKOW9LUc
It says 24 here on Amazon -
Ergotech Triple Horizontal LCD Monitor Arm Desk Stand (100-D16-B03) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001NPEC5A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_16H7BbMSMM9ZJ
VESA mounts are just referring to the type of standardized mount on the back of monitors. How a manufacturer decides to use that mount leads to products like clamping monitor arms or multiple monitor stands or simply just stand replacements.
I can't seem to find any mounts with a weighted stand to use for a monitor arm.
Here's an example of how a clamp might work on a desk. There shouldn't be any damage to the desk.
Ergotech has some nice offerings.
LinusTechTips Video
Amazon link for non-telescoping version
Amazon link for telescoping version
You have a link? I'd like to replace mine and I can't find "Ergolynx" ?
e: Ergotech maybe?
Performs great, had to make my own base though because the stock one was too big. Yes stable
You could also mount multiple monitors on a single stand, like this, or get a mount that uses a clamp, like this. Those are just the first examples I found, there's a ton of other options on amazon, or newegg, or wherever.
So this thing is pretty freaking good. It does have important drawbacks tho. 1) it is VERY stable (they offer it for a 24in monitor and 27 in monitor version) 2) THe base is quite large, so if you dont have the desk realestate, consider other options. 3) I have 3 24in monitors that hang off to the very edge so one way or another, I reccomend getting the 27 in version (if you have the space). Here it is: https://www.amazon.com/Ergotech-Triple-Horizontal-Monitor-100-D16-B03/dp/B001NPEC5A
How about this?
I really appreciate it, I'm going to go with something close to your build. So I talked with him today, and he said "Can we find a thinner monitor? I’d be willing to sacrifice some size for that, or increase price.?" I'm going to set him up with a three monitor stand like this one, (have to do some research on it first.)
I don't think he appreciates the IPS, although I know he'd prefer it. The one he uses now is 1600x900 Acer 20-Inch LCD,, which I probably wouldn't use in the new build. (Others in the office would love another monitor.)
Not sure you'll get that, but good luck.
That stand is way overpriced, the ergotron is only 200 on amazon. Or just get 3 seperate stands from monoprice.
http://www.amazon.com/-Triple-Horizontal-Monitor-100-D16-B03/dp/B001NPEC5A
I figure 500 is more realistic.
You'll get another 40-50% from the third card. The 2Gb will be a minor setback, but as I can see you aren't too fond of the idea of moving up to 7970s. $500 isn't enough to move up in monitor quality (Three catleaps would set you back $990) and two 670s wouldn't handle 7680x1440 anyway so sticking with the 5760x1080 setup you have is all you can do at the moment. You could alternatively spend that $360 on a nice monitor mount instead of a third card. Something like this would do the trick.
It's a great stand.. http://www.amazon.com/Ergotech-Triple-Horizontal-Monitor-100-D16-B03/dp/B001NPEC5A
All monitors have to run at the same resolution, so you would have to run the center monitor at 1080p when playing in surround. If it's a different size than the other two, it will be difficult to arrange them so the edges line up smoothly. You'd have to have the side monitors significantly closer/further away than the center to make things transition smoothly from the center to the sides. It may not bother you, but even having my side monitors slightly off broke the whole "window" effect for me. I bought this stand, and it's been decent enough. The base is a bit cheap, you have to get a bit rough with the arms to get them perfectly symmetrical, but it works great once it's set up. If I had it to do over again, I might have gone with something like this, then used a separate arm for the top monitor.
This one
Desk: IKEA Linnmon/Oddvald. Pretty solid desk for the price, although leg room is a bit lacking, probably upgrading soon.
Chair: DXRacer Formula Series, really helped my posture and got rid of my back pain. Plus I'm a huge gear-head so it's very much my style.
Keyboard: Das Keyboard Professional w/ Brown Switches. This keyboard is fantastic, it's a treat to use every day, feels buttery smooth to type on and build quality is superb. I also have a CM Quickfire Ultimate that I use at work, also browns.
Mouse: Zowie EC2-A. Replaced my old Logitech G400 when it started intermittently cutting out, I think I like this mouse even more.
Mousepad: SteelSeries QcK+ for all that low DPI goodness.
Headset: Kingston HyperX Cloud II. I love this headset, it's super comfortable and has good directional sound.
Speakers: Cyber Acoustics CA-3602 FFP. I use my headset mainly but these are good enough for when I need them.
Monitors: BenQ XL2411Z flanked by two ASUS VS247H-P mounted on an Ergotech Triple Monitor Stand. Finally got the monitor stand this year after using two boxes to hold up my side monitors for far too long. However, the BenQ is probably my favorite purchase out of all of these, would've bought three if it served any real benefit to me.
Random Peripherals: uxcell extended power switch. I keep my computer under my desk so this is handy so I don't have to crouch under my desk to turn on my computer.
Inateck PCI-E to USB 3.0 5-Port PCI Express Card. My motherboard came with a fairly low number of USB ports so this allows me to plug in my printer and external hard drive, etc.
I have one of these and would recommend it, if there is a way to remove the monitor mounting from the desk. Obviously there is a massive footprint on the desk, however there are other options available as I am sure you are aware. But that would be my two cents, again best of luck. :)

Very solid, frees up a heap of desk space. Have not had any complaints. Check out the Amazon reviews for more info.
Found it, it's Grifiti?
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Standard-Keyboards-Mechanical-Notebooks-MacBooks/dp/B004D8PYE2/ref=sr_1_1?s=officeproduct&ie=UTF8&qid=1519390749&sr=1-1&keywords=grifiti+wrist
Get a wrist pad and mouse pad:
Grafiti Wrist Pad
Steel Series Mouse Pad
Check out the rests from Grifiti. They come in various lengthus and help get your hand in better position. I have a few and sometimes I even stack two to get my wrists super elevated.
I know this one is recommended around here. An alternative would be a wooden one such as this filco one. I have seen some options pop up on massdrop (such as this one) as well if that is a buying option for you.
A wrist rest keeps me comfortable when I'm using the computer for extended periods of time.
I also use these headphone holders, they are cheap and mount with doublesided tape, and they'll hold just about any headphones you can find.
Another thing that many people don't think about, but can make a massive difference, is monitor placement. VESA Arm mounts are great for having monitors placed where you want them, while also letting you shift them around when you need to.
I'm not going to say a wrist rest will solve all of your problems, but I have a Ducky Zero and it does sit a bit high. I got this wrist pad and it all feels a lot better. Granted, I don't have the Shine 3, but I have used it and with this pad it feels great. It may or may not solve your problems, but give it a shot as well as inverting the spacebar. I've never had that problem, I guess I hit the spacebar different than you, but we all type differently.
Well, personally I'd recommend to not use a wrist rest at all. But~~ if I were to use one, I'd go with something like this:
https://www.amazon.ca/Grifiti-Standard-Keyboards-Mechanical-Materials/dp/B004D8PYE2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1473915931&sr=8-3&keywords=wrist+rest
Now, I'm not sure about the strafe, but my original K70 wrist rest fits on my K70 LUX. It's a little looser than the one that came with the K70 LUX, but it still works. Maybe see if you can find the replacement wrist rest from somewhere that's easy to return it to. Try it, see if it works, return if it doesn't. Not sure how I can help other than this, but good luck!
There are mousepads that are designed for your keyboard and mouse so that both go on top. Then for wrist rests you can buy those seperate like from grifiti
Grifit pads all the way. I own the one linked and 2 of the one here.
The one linked above it much stiffer and higher up than the Grifiti pads. The Grifiti pads are cheaper and are a much better pad. Only downside is that they aren't stitched like the one above.
I would go with the Grifiti one if you're looking for a pad.
http://www.amazon.com/Grifiti-Standard-Keyboards-Mechanical-Materials/dp/B004D8PYE2
and probably a ducky keyboard.
If you're open to a soft wrist pad as an alternative (well, it's not squishy-soft, it's actually quite firm), check out the Grifiti ones on Amazon. They've got a few different sizes. I love mine
I highly suggest this wrist pad as an alternative to the more rigid rest included with that KB.
Do you have a wristrest ? i got this one and it ROCKS its the PERFECT height and thick and wide an dthe length is within a couple mm of being Exact > https://www.amazon.com/Grifiti-Standard-Keyboards-Mechanical-Materials/dp/B004D8PYE2/ref=sr_1_4?s=office-products&srs=3030034011&ie=UTF8&qid=1503021659&sr=1-4

Hmm that was an interesting study to read. I'm not sure if it makes any difference, but it seems like that study was focused mainly on the ergonomics of using mice. I know some mouse pads themselves come with wrist rests, typically made out of that silicon material. However, i'm just talking about keyboard wrist rests.
It would have been interesting to see this study being done on subjects using a keyboard, both with and without a wrist rest (i'm sure there is such a study, somewhere..not going to bother with trying to dig one up at this moment). A keyboard requires much more work from one's hands so I could assume that a wrist rest would help alleviate someone who maybe works for long hours at a time at a keyboard that doesn't already provide some sort of angled wrist support.
From personal experience-- I've had a co-worker who is an avid PC gamer and always uses his K65 compact mechanical keyboard which comes equipped with a rubberized (or some sort of softer plastic) slope for support.
At our job, we need to be using a computer at all times. The keyboards provided to us there have absolutely no support for the wrist. He began to complain of feeling strain on his wrists, and bought himself one of these, and hasn't complained since.
So it's a bit tough to say, but I feel like there's a lot of factors. For some people it could work and for others, maybe not.
Just bought their normal sized on one Amazon. It's on sale. $15.50
Think he meant Griffiti fat wrist pads, and I can confirm, they're great.

I bought it and the mouse wrist pad separately.

Don't worry about the anti-Razer circlejerk.
In general, people misuse wrist rests. You shouldn't constantly set your wrists on the pad; instead, use it every now and then to give them a rest. Ideally, you should be "floating" over the keyboard. I'm typing this post at a standing desk, and I have my keyboard positioned such that my wrists hang over empty space.
This random article I found has more information.
If you decide you still want a wrist rest, Grifiti makes popular ones. No need for cheap-looking bonded leather.
These ones are good
It's a Grifti 12 inch wrist pad.
http://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Keyboards-MacBooks-Notebooks-Neoprene/dp/B004DANDN4.
If you have a TKL, you should get the 14 inch, if you have a full sized keyboard, get the 17 inch.
I use one of these with my Noppoo, really enjoy it.

Which MKB did you acquire? Mine's a 60% MKB, the wrist rest will definitely work well for you and your wrists will thank you for it.
This is the one I purchased, remember don't get the nylon one since it frays easily. Grifiti Fat 12 Neoprene wrist rest
after about a couple months or so of use you can see the surface layer peeling on the bottom left of the pic, so if you want something you can use a long, long time probably not for you, but they're relatively cheap so getting one every 4 months or so wouldn't dig into the wallet too bad. I just flip it to the other side when I use it, I reoriented just for the pic.
performance-wise, it's awesome, doesn't make my hands sweaty, stay still really well, elevates the wrists to a good height; typing without it is uncomfortable now
I use one of these, it's quite comfortable but it's ugly
https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Keyboards-MacBooks-Notebooks-Neoprene/dp/B004DANDN4
If you're seeking a cheap wrist rest, I suggest a Grifiti wrist rest. If you're in no hurry you could try buying a larger one + mouse rest in Massdrop's current group buy, or wait for the mini wrist rest to come around again.
I have a used blue mini wrist rest I'm willing to sell but it's got dust marks from my wrists from use. Still in good condition besides dust. PM me if you want it.
If you want the foam/squishy rubber type, Grifiti 12 is what you want. https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Keyboards-MacBooks-Notebooks-Neoprene/dp/B004DANDN4
Edit: check out grifiti's website for other options in that size, like slim version, leather, etc.

Unless you already have one I'd suggest getting a wrist rest, they saved my hands. https://smile.amazon.com/Grifiti-Mechanical-Keyboards-MacBooks-Notebooks/dp/B004DANDN4/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1499478863&sr=8-5&keywords=grifiti%2Bwrist%2Bpad&th=1
It's one of the best $12 I've spent
I ended up buying it from Amazon. The layout is US, and the top row of keys have some kind of scratch in the same place almost like when you twist plastic from plastic when building model kits? But either way the keyboard is amazing and it was £20 cheaper than the other ones listed in the UK Layout.
I also bought this Wrist Rest made by Grifiti and its perfect!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004DANDN4/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
i like it so far
I really like the one on Drop right now, but for the time being, I use this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004DANDN4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The only downside is the neoprene will eventually start looking crappy after a few months of use, but hey - it's only $15.
I have a movable stand from Ergotron
Ergotron LX Desk Mount
Its awesome, very sturdy, and allows me to swing that monitor around without much trouble.
This amazon basics appears very similar, is cheaper and has great reviews: AmazonBasics Single Monitor Display Mounting Arm
I also have one of these for a monitor I dont need to move about:
Mount-It! MI-751 Single LCD Monitor Desk Mount
Cheap, sturdy, I have no complaints and would buy another if and when I end up with a 3rd monitor.
I found this "ultimate" one which guarantees no dead/stuck pixels. It's $15 more then then "pixel perfect" one.
If I'm going to get one I think it'll be that one. How hard are they to overclock?
edit: will probably get this stand as I hear the stand that comes with it is cheap as hell.
You can give this a try. Someone on this subreddit posted his/her setup and he/she is using the stands I linked. Here's a link to the album of the setup with the stands.
Sure! It's actually a dual monitor stand, of which I removed the second arm:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009S750LA/
Here's the single monitor version, apparently produced by a different company, but it looks JUST like mine with only one arm:
http://www.amazon.com/Mount-It-Articulating-Computer-Monitors-MI-751/dp/B0052ATODM/
Definitely these - they make a large difference:
Monitor mounts - frees up a bunch of desk space and lets you tilt/rotate/move closer etc
Large mouse mat - much better than having to line up your keyboard or be restricted to a small pad
Microphone boom arm - cheap and gets the mic up off the desk freeing up space. Pair this with a pop filter and it even looks ok
Then obviously the main peripherals like audio, kb/m, monitors, desk, chair, etc
https://smile.amazon.com/Mount--MI-751-Adjustable-Articulating-Insignia/dp/B0052ATODM/
Been using this with my LG 34um95c without problems. Pretty plain and utilitarian though.
If your monitor has standard VESA monitor mount screw holes in the back you will have a whole universe of alternate stands to pick from.

They hold 24" monitors just fine. Make sure your mounting option to the desk itself is sturdy too.

I have these. They are excellent quality, and incredibly sturdy. The pictures don't do it justice. When you see it in person you'll understand how heavy-duty they are. I used these to hold two 27" monitors up and it was excellent. Great value for money.
I think it might be this one
I ran a triple set up for quite a while with three Asus pb278q, unless times have changed finding stands for 27" monitors is difficult as most seem to hold up to a max of ~24". I ended up using two articulating arms, one which held two monitors and another which held one. It worked extremely well actually, anytime I wanted to move a monitor it could be easily moved into place. They were similar to this http://www.amazon.ca/Mount-It-Articulating-Computer-Monitors-MI-751/dp/B0052ATODM
Oh and make sure to not use hdmi to one monitor, I ended up with constant brown outs and the only reason I could figure out why is because the audio signal going to one monitor caused it to crash.
http://www.wsgf.org will soon become your favourite place, they have a program which makes many games work well with tri screen setups. Fixes UI etc
Thanks for comment!
I am using an el cheapo Mount It single arm. Its barely holding it, but it gets the job done.

Do let me know if you can, I'm looking to do this exact same setup with an ultrawide center and regular monitor in portrait beside it. Thanks!
I own two of these and use one with my LG 34UM67. It works pretty well.
I'm using two:
the 2x landscape mounted monitors: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LPVM1ZE/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The single vertically mounted monitor: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052ATODM/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Not really. I do love my challenge though, it's comfortable and space saving. I've rigged up a pair of monitor stands attached to a board with my hotas mounted on (excuse the mess of wire): http://imgur.com/a/ybFOP
The steering wheel mount is detachable, and I'm going to eventually rig something to mount my keyboard and maybe a drink holder when it's in 'hotas mode'. The monitor stands were ~$25 when I picked them up, these specifically: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052ATODM
This is a really comfortable and adjustable setup, and lets me use the pedals for rudders or driving around on planets.
I'm gonna triple mount 3 Asus VG248QE monitors (24" screen, each 22.5"wide), and I'm unsure about what mounts I should use. I was eyeing this triple monitor mount, but I don't know if it will perfectly fit my monitors or allow me to curve them inward enough. This is a big deal for me since I want to have three monitors and my tower (9" wide) on my desk (72"), and curving the outer two monitors will make everything fit with ease. That being said, I was also thinking about getting 3 of these single monitor mounts which seem to be cheaper. The only cons I can think of with this is that initial set up will be a drag and the cable management will be less appealing. I assume this method would allow for more freedom with a single monitor, so I'll be able to save more space on my desk and rotate monitors with ease. I'm sorta leaning towards the latter option, but I could really use a second opinion- Should I get the 3x mount or 3 1x mounts? Is there a recommended alternative anyone can vouch for that won't kill my wallet?
So is this one a bad idea? says it holds up to 21lbs monitors, but I feel like it's really up to experience not just what it says.
Here's a more reasonably priced one, used multiple with no issues
I didn't want to spend a lot of money in it so I got this one at 47$ from Amazon.
This is what I've been using. I have a 27" and a 24" monitor right now.

I bought this last year and I absolutely love it.
Using it with a 21.5" 16:10 and a 27" 16:9.
One of the main features I love is the ability to easily feed cables through the center pole for a cleaner look (might have to get longer cables though depending). Has plastic covers for all the joints. Only thing I wish it had was easier vertical movement but it's not even close to a deal breaker. It's my first and only multi-monitor mount so I don't really have anything else to compare to, unfortunately.
Y'all need vesa mounts. They free up a ton of space on your desk, provide the best view adjustments, and really aren't that much money or work.
i believe its this one

You should get a dual-monitor arm mount. It will give you so much extra space on your desk to do activities.
Here brother
I'm using a really old, shitty desk purchased from Walmart like ~10 years ago and have 0 problems with stability. I was worried for a little while that it was going to just tip one day or even just break the desk but it's been going strong for about ~1.5 years now.
Here's the mount I'm using...
I have a 27" QNIX and a 22" Asus mounted to it and it's been nothing short of perfect. The arms can be titled and move horizontally but the height isn't very adjustable, at least not easily. You basically set it to the height based on pre-drilled holes on the vertical standing arm (the part that mounts to the desk) and just stick a screw in to hold it there. If you want to adjust height you'll have to remove the screw and likely take the monitors off before sliding it up/down. If you want something that's easily adjustable in height, you'll be spending more in the ~75-100$ range as opposed to ~40$ for a less-dynamic model.
It sounds like you may just have a single monitor though... If you have no plans to add another then I'd just get something like the Amazon Basics for 99$ or the Mount-It! for 39$.
The Amazon model gives you pretty much the maximum adjust-ability but it's a bit pricey (not really, other mounts are just cheap). The single arm Mount-It! I linked is a little more adjustable on-the-fly than my personal mount I posted earlier but costs about the same as the dual-mount.
Also, I use a sit-to-stand desk at work and love it. I get pain in my lower back from my terrible posture and generally can't sit still too long without getting up to walk around a bit. Being able to stand and work whenever really helped limit my back pain and I love being able to move about. The downside is that they're pretty damn expensive... For a reference, we have Ergotrons where I work.
If I had to guess I'd say it was this model specifically. That whole 'desk' mounts on your actual computer desk and can be raised/lowered and adjusted in all sorts of positions.
edit and now that you've got me looking into all of this again, I'm thinking of upgrading to something more adjustable like the Amazon Basics mount but a dual-monitor version. IMO just skip the cheaper model and get something more dynamic like the Amazon mount.
Monitor: https://www.amazon.com/Acer-K242HQL-Bbid-23-6-Inch-Widescreen/dp/B00VX3JUO0
Stand: https://www.amazon.com/Mount-Monitor-Adjustable-Screens-MI-752/dp/B0052AWGLE
Would you be cool with 80 for the monitor and 30 for the stand?
It's a discontinued model from Ikea called the Effektiv, but it's very similar to the Galant series (which was recently renamed to Bekant apparently).
There is also an extension, so it comes out pretty far: http://i.imgur.com/oBCWfKx.jpg
Also, both the middle and right monitors are mounted with this mount.
Here's my input along with links to products.
This one.
Those should be standard VESA mounts, you can use something like this to use as one stand between both monitors.
> Brateck 2 Arm Desk Mounted Monitor Arm
The closest I could find for the UK is this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Brateck-Cantilever-Monitor-Mount-100x100/dp/B00AYCREMG/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1417458472&sr=1-2&keywords=brateck+dual+monitor+arm
This one would be equivalent in the US:
http://www.amazon.com/Mount-It-Articulating-Computer-Monitors-MI-752/dp/B0052AWGLE/ref=pd_cp_e_2
It was just some dual arm mount I picked up off amazon for about $30. It's basically this one.
Unfoturnately, my two monitors are different and have different VESA sizing, so the downside to that stand is I cant change their heights individually to line them up.
Here's an identical mount from Amazon:
www.amazon.com/dp/B0052AWGLE

That's the one that was recommended by lots of people. It works great and was cheap. It's easy to angle the monitors however your want, a little adjustment of the nuts to change resistance and you're set. I have two qunix 27" mounted.
There are stands like these that you can clamp onto the edge of your table.
http://www.amazon.com/Mount--Articulating-Computer-Monitors-MI-752/dp/B0052AWGLE/ref=sr_1_8?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1422479227&sr=1-8&keywords=monitor+stand+dual
If you scroll down there should be an area for customer images, one of them has the block I mention. That is what got to think twice about this.
Ikea sells poles that can be friction fit to the ceiling. Find a monitor mount you can MacGyver to it and you're all set. The older poles (Stolmen) they used to sell were cylindrical and a basic monitor mount from Amazon fit it nearly perfectly. All that was required was to insert the plastic inserts that came with the anchors that were used to attach shelving and such.. I think the new ikea poles ones are square shaped... You could always buy a stripper pole to make it work or find an old Ikea Stolman pole on craigslist.
You can also use two poles for much larger screens. Even the new system would work with this method.
I have a 5 inch desk :*(
I recently bought this one and the c-clamp was about a half inch too small.
they are both the same monitor (LG 24MP88HV-S), https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0052AWGLE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Picked it up from amazon. its perfect https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052AWGLE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Of course! Those are BenQ RL2755HM mounted on this awesome dual arm stand
In retrospect I wish I had settled for 25" monitors with higher refresh rates and gsync. They would be more flexible in that setup and 27"x2 is just overkill.

Check out this monitor it is cheaper and uses the same ips 1440p panel. The main difference is that it doesn't have vesa mounting but you can purchase an adapter.

That was a perfect answer man I love it! I was thinking about my heatsink but I didn't really put that much thought into it! I plan on stay 1440p 60hz for a good while at least until 4k becomes really affordable you know. The 1080 seemed right up my ally for a perfect 1440p card I was thinking I may just save up some money for it and go for it I've been thinking about that since it came out actually! Would you think a second monitor would be worth it though? I've been looking at these stands
(http://shop.ergotechgroup.com/dual-monitor-horizontal-desk-stand/)

I had to get the heavier rated arm (6.6-19.8 lbs) for the x34 because when I weighed it it was around 16.6 lbs without the stand. Glad I did to because I got the 14 lbs arm for my XB271HU and that seems to be about the max weight it will hold (~12.5 lbs).
For the X34:

For the XB271HU:

I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/Nоrth-Mоtiоn-Spring-Cоmputеr-Mоnitоrs/dp/B01AI2YGK4/
It can be clamped to the desk but also screwed through the desk. I think that's what you want.
I am just not entirely sure if it will support the weight of the AW. Until today i had a LG 34UM65-P on it and that worked perfectly, no sagging or anything like that. Didn't try it yet with my new X34P which just arrived today. But i am quite positive it will work with that as well. And i guess the AW has a similar weight.
These ones I got from Amazon, pretty decent and no real complaints. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AI2YGK4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_75szDb786Y1GK
Here they are on Amazon.
You really can't beat that price. It doesn't qualify for Prime, but for $35 who cares?
Anyone know if a North Bayou F80 mount can hold a QNIX QX2710, an Acer XG270HU, and an Acer XF270HU? (Not all at once, obviously; just the individual monitors).

I do have to tighten the the screws in the arm all the way though due to the wait of the monitor but it wrks and the monitor does not move unless I move it.

I would get this one instead. I'm fairly certain they're all made by the same oem. That should be everything you need.
I've thought about combining a gas spring monitor arm with a laptop vesa tray. It would certainly be awesome when using it docked as a desktop (with an second monitor and keyboard/mouse) but I don't think it will be stable enough to draw on.

I'd do some measurements before actually getting them, but it should work
I'm using the Samsung U28E590D displays with some cheap-ass monitor arms I found that are similar to this: https://www.amazon.com/North-Bayou-Monitor-Computer-14-3lbs/dp/B01AI2YGK4
I previously had a three monitor stand, but it was way too wide with the 28" monitors.
Here we've used the linked one by /u/Brostadamus, its clamp variant, and a few North Bayou hydraulic models (single, dual). Get one with a max size over what you have (the sizes supported correlate to weight), and you'll be fine.
I wouldn't even know what manufacturer to go to for a monitor in that price range.....
Jump on Amazon and browse through monitors, until you find one that fits the bill.
I almost think the best option for your need might be to buy the cheapest monitor you can find, maybe used, that has a VESA mount and buying an arm, such as this: Link
I love the northern bayou, I really do but I loved the aesthetic of this more because the monitor hides the mount almost completely. The northern bayou is probably best bang for your buck, considering the amazonbasics mount I have for my ultrawide ran me about 100$ usd. I use the bayou now for my pc workshop, so its still in use.
This was the northern bayou i was using https://www.amazon.com/North-Bayou-Monitor-Computer-14-3lbs/dp/B01AI2YGK4/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1537904967&sr=8-4&keywords=northern+bayou+mount&dpID=415YbkXLaBL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

Not OP but I use this mount here for my 27" with no problem.
Cheapest option is probably to buy two of these.

It’s just a monitor arm from amazon and a laptop stand that you attach via the VESA connection.

You should be able to use any Vesa mount [Like this one](North Bayou Full Motion Desk Mount with Mount and Gas Spring for Computer Monitors 17'' - 27 LED LCD Flat Panel TVs from 4.4lbs upto 14.3lbs F80 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AI2YGK4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_B-nNzbD87B7WM)
I have the LG 34um95 and I'm using a Vesa mount with no issues. Keep in mind though the one I linked I have no knowledge or opinions on. I just grabbed a link for the first one I could find on Amazon so I could show you what to look for.
They have Vesa mounts for the wall, desk clamp, and desk stand so it will work for just about any set up.
You could get one with arms like this, but the price jumps up a lot.
Alternatively, you could get 2 of these and hope that it'll hold the second monitor high enough.
I would suggest something like this.
For dual monitors also.
You can get monitor arms that mount to your desk and let you position the monitor wherever you need it to be.
Here is an example, there are dozens more on Amazon.

damn near anything would work.
I bought the 27UK600 when it was going for $330 at bestbuy and then mounted them on some cheap arms.
https://www.amazon.com/North-Bayou-Monitor-Computer-14-3lbs/dp/B01AI2YGK4/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=north+bayou&qid=1556308904&s=gateway&sr=8-3
Everything i've read so far has the U2718Q and the LG 27UK650 series as identical from a panel perspective. The main differences are going to be price, inputs, and interface.
I think the LG has a stronger OSD design with it's little joystick. I've read that the Dells have problems if you have to switch inputs a lot but I haven't seen that substantiated. If you aren't switching between sources a lot then nbd.
Finally, the Dells have USB3.0 hubs built in. It's roughly a $30-$50 premium over the LGs which don't have it so whether or not that's worth it is up to you.
Actually the majority of IPS panels are 60Hz. Newest models often supports 75Hz but it isn't the norm yet.
Gsync/Freesync is always useful especially if you have dips in your framerate (low FPS). You could go with this model:

​
and buy a separate monitor arm because you'll restrict your options otherwise. Something like this : https://www.amazon.com/North-Bayou-Monitor-Computer-14-3lbs/dp/B01AI2YGK4/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=gas+monitor+arm&qid=1555689818&s=gateway&sr=8-5

You can go much cheaper though if you don't want VESA/stand though:
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16824160373

Also, keep it mind that at $200 usd, you can buy a 144Hz VA panel such as this:

No, they'll plug into your wall(Or surge protector)
They're on sale too, which is a bonus
Also, if you want to do arms, you could do An arm like this
You have taught me so much. I'm ordering an arduino starter kit, Gonna mess around with styrene over the weekend. and I have some sweet TvMounts on there way for keyboard and mouse swingouts. Seriously Jag, you have no idea how similar our goals are with our rigs. Im going with your suggestion of screen mounts, cause my previous frankenstein of sheet-metal custom rigged to articulating lamp arms didn't pan out... keyboard too heavy. who knew :(.. lol rookie mistake. I don't know about you, but my motivation was the orginal Chris Roberts' kickstarter video when he's sitting in the Hornet
Instead of using a swing arm to mount the center stick I'm going to build a center console out of mdf that either leg will go around. I looked into base extensions and that's just too much work. Plus with a console I can rig up custom control similar to how you have the two extra switches (which are mad sexy btw).
I've wanted to mount LCDs behind my MFDs. Initially I was going to use 2xASUS memopads(100$ each) and run a PC monitor extender to them or use ROCCAT. I like your method, seems cheaper and smoother.
Again.. Jag, you beat me to the punch on the HUD, well in your case Targeting computer. I was going to implement a HUD akin to the F-16 or any real world fighter with the same concept you employed. LCD lay flat, 45' plexi reflect image. I was hoping to use it with raw game data if thats available in the future.
One different aspect Im doing is an HDMI, peripheral switcher. No matter how much I've tried to make it comfortable, the FPS just doesnt work in the cockpit. So I'm migrating my gaming rig out of the cockpit via HDMI switches and perif switches. At my main desk I have an old gaming PC that I use for less graphic intense stuff. They will both parallel the desk monitor and the desk keyb/mouse. Upon hitting the switches the star citizen rig will become active and taking over those devices so I can FPS more comfortably.
Funny bit is that when I exit the ship in game... I actually have to exit my cockpit and sit at my desk :p

Have this monitor and love it! I bought this mount as the stock one is kinda crap. I will be buying 2 more of these as 144hz is best hz

I got this mount on Amazon: North Bayou Monitor Desk Mount Stand Full Motion Swivel Monitor Arm Gas Spring for 17''-27'' Computer Monitor from 4.4lbs to 14.3lbs and can't figure it out. The bracket on the arm is too big. The holes line up but the screw holes are recessed just enough where they don't reach. Is there some sort of fitting that you need to fit it on? Anyone?
The North Bayou mount that was posted here awhile ago is incredibly stable for the price.

This One is pretty excellent for the price, i've had it nearly 2 years now and the edges still aren't fraying or coming apart at all, mouse tracking is great and it takes nicely to being cleaned with some warm water and soap... really can't beat it for 12 bucks.

The stand is the vivo duel mount on amazon. Id suggest also ordering a vivo single mount as well as i had to stack the single mount arm on top the duel mount arm to make the monitors the same height.

I've looked a bit, and the closest I came to that was something branded "HumanCentric" on Amazon. Check it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DAYRXRK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_xuT3CbYPPD3Q4
Just a heads up, this monitor doesn't have a VESA mount - you have to use one of these adapters:

I bought one of these ahead of my first build (I use it currently as an external for a MacBook). It's a nice monitor but I think the stand and housing are kind of cheap seeming, though I ended up liking the burnt orange bezel.
I'm thinking about trying out one of VESA mounts.

I have the 2 arm one and have my X34P and an older 27" 1440P monitor on the other arm.
I have the same monitor and use a Vivo mount. The one I use isn't a spring-mounted one (height adjustment doesn't matter as much for my setup), but their parts are generally mix-and-match so the actual VESA bracket should be the same. I would expect this to work for you.

Love it, is it this and this?
Looks like a good option. I'm wondering if this is available somewhere in EU however since shipping to UK is $170!
Would this be it ? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ergotech-Triple-Stand-Telescoping-Monitor/dp/B007BD0MPM or is there something special with the WSGF version
Edit : It's not. Looks like the WSGF version has a 5th pivot which is what will enable me to angle my 24" at 35/40 degrees
Well, if that's the case, and this may interest you as well, why not use a triple monitor arm? Like this one from Ergotech as long as your monitors have a vesa mount (most modern monitors do.)
I use the Ergotech Freedom Arm for my 34" Ultrawide and it's very solidly built so the company makes quality products. However, if price is a big factor there are other companies out there that make similar items for cheaper with varying quality.
I just purchased the same one. Here you go: Ergotech Triple Desk Stand with Telescopic Wings (100-D16-B03-TW) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007BD0MPM
The specs say it only supports up to 24" monitors and since my middle monitor is 27" i don't think it will work / fit. Thanks anyways though.
EDIT1: Ah, i did fine this from the suggested search results which i think should be fine. Thanks again :)
You don't have to use DisplayPort. These monitors have 2 DP (one mini, one regular), a DP out (for daisy chaining) and 2 HDMI (with MHL). I've not had issues with the HDMI ports. They wake the monitors up successfully. Its just when I turn on DP1.2 in the menu that I have issues with the DP waking the monitors up.
I have these monitors on an Ergotech triple monitor stand with telescopic wings. There's a version without the telescoping arms but that will not fit these monitors.
I love the slim bezels. I dislike the fact that the power light is on the bottom of the lower bezel. I dislike the touch buttons on the bezel as opposed to real buttons. I've had to get used to turning the monitors off a certain way (when they're asleep). Who knows, maybe Dell will release a FW update to the monitors to fix the sleep issues.
Any feedback is helpful :D.

I have that one and LOVE it. Really solid and tons of adjustability.
It's an 18" square base basically and it's really flat so you can put thing's on it no problem, even a keyboard if you're that space limited though then you're sitting real close.
Mine is similar to this :Ergotech Triple LCD Monitor Desk Mount Stand with Telescopic Wings/3 Screens up to 27" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007BD0MPM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_xHd4Bb0MX62NQ
I believe Playseat TV Stand PRO is the formal solution. I personally ended up modified an existing monitor stand I was given as a hand-me-down and it seems to do the job just fine (Ergotech Stand + Steel Tubing). Considering I only had to purchase the tubing, you could say it was a real 'steel'.
looks like some sellers on amazon have it https://www.amazon.com/Ergotech-Triple-Stand-Telescopic-100-D16-B03-TW/dp/B007BD0MPM
this for the tripple 27in and this would probibly work for the 2 monitors on top if you remove the top mounting point and slide the 2 arms up all the way
This one.
This is the model I have: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007BD0MPM/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=80LM7GGF1K5O&coliid=I9IZ2AGCIVVSX
It's great, will hold up to 27" screens and the outside arms tilt in as well as the mounts the actual monitors are on so there is plenty of angle. You can also turn them to portrait view if you would like.
Also the little knobs on top of the outside monitor mounts will move the outside screens up or down independently of the other screen so you can adjust as needed.
I've been watching the Ergotech triple mount for a while but haven't pulled the trigger because I blew $70 on one of those shitty 'mount-it' desk clamp style triple mount a few months ago.
It was $150ish with prime a week ago. Truly a beautiful stand. Ergotech Triple Desk Stand with Telescopic Wings (100-D16-B03-TW) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007BD0MPM/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_zDKxwb07QFN9W

Probably something similar to this >> http://www.amazon.ca/Ergotech-Triple-Stand-Telescopic-100-D16-B03-TW/dp/B007BD0MPM
Mine just arrived so I'll be flying monitors too
I do own my unit and can punch holes. But I don't think ready for that kind of commitment to the location. After alot of looking I think I'll go ahead get this. I wanted a C clamp mount to give that clean look, but this one well let me angle them however I want, and with a height adjust in case of any sag.
I have a tripe wide setup with 27" monitors and this is the stand I use. It works great and I haven't had any issues at all.
You can probably just get a 3x 27" arm like this
I have one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007BD0MPM
It claims it supports 3 x 27" monitors. I have 3 x 24" on it and I could believe it - there's still a lot of room to move them out despite me having them mounted in a line without too much inward tilt on the monitors.
It's not cheap and it weighs a shitton when fully loaded. I can't remember whether it comes with a wall mount in the box, so you'd need to verify that. It'd need to be a sturdy wall too.
I think you're pretty much out of luck trying to find one bracket that'll do 3 x 30", they're not only ridiculously heavy but also huge width-wise.
https://imgur.com/a/RhIfExh This list includes everything except my two side monitors , my monitor stand and my thermal paste . I will not name the company I went with for a prebuilt nor will I answer your DM's about the company. It was a live and learn situation and I'm moving on. Next step is my crazier audio set up I will be saving for. Hope you like the build and I cant wait to be back to gaming!
This one: http://www.amazon.com/Triple-Monitor-Mount-Adjustable-Screens/dp/B009S7ALH8
Honestly, I'd recommend getting a free-standing one over the one I have. The clamp is warping the wood of my desk a bit.
If you put a monitor on the cubby and angle them in, you can fit three 24" monitors. I ran two Dell E2414HM's on the sides and an S2415H in the center, all on their regular stands (though I eventually cut a whole in the back to fit a triple monitor stand).
It's surprisingly not that wobbly. YMMV because it's still a snap-together desk, but shakiness has never been an issue with mine.
Im looking to use a triple monitor setup of a 27 in monitor in the middle, and two 4:3 17in monitors on the sides. Im trying to find a triple monitor mount, and ive found this two:

The SIIG mount would definitely fit my setup, but it ends up being $70 more, so im wondering if the VIVO one would be able to manage with my setup.
The monitors im using are a Dell S2740L and two HP vs17's.
Thanks guys!
This is the mount I bought - I used to have a triple monitor setup but when I moved to a 34'' UltraWide I ripped the left and right arms off and now am using them for the Hotas.

I've had good luck with VIVO brand - I currently use the following:
http://www.amazon.com/Triple-Monitor-Mount-Adjustable-Screens/dp/B00B1D03GQ/
Easy to assemble, sturdy design, maximum adjustability in all directions. However, I don't know if they have a three-wide one that supports 27 inch displays - their three-wide seems to only support 24's:

VIVO
Yes there is, here's the links to the triple monitor one (canadian price, idk where you're from)
the stand version
the clip-on version
You can get a stationery monitor mount, which allows you to pull the screen closer, tilt, and rotate, but doesn't allow individual height adjustment for each monitor such as this.
Or you can get three individual mounts, which allow full mobility (up, down, closer, farther, & rotate) such as this.
There's double/triple versions of these as well. Double. Or Triple.
Good brands include: Ergotron, Ergrotech, VIVO, & Amazon's version. Mount-It and Cable Matters both make some as well, but I haven't used these ever.
$35 on massdrop is actually a decent deal, currently $58 on Prime
Ordered the mounts you suggested here: https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Monitor-Adjustable-Screens-STAND-V003/dp/B009S7ALH8
How did you build the bracket exactly? I have the DXRacer King Series chair. Would be nice to play away from my desk with the controls at proper height finally.
EDIT: Just saw you had a local welder do it. Would you be able to get it duplicated and send to me? Will pay for shipping and cost of welding of course.

I got this two weeks ago: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B009S7ALH8/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I spent part of this afternoon re-routing my DVI and power cables so they're fairly neat and tidy.
I was suspect that they would be sturdy for this price but they really are. My screens measure about 24" across including the bezel. I think they are 22" screens??
The top screen is adjustable vertically (only a small amount) but it's still just a little bit off. Not horrible, but it's there.
Good luck duuuude!

If you have 3 monitors and a tough desk, look at getting a monitor mount for them. The one I've got is built like a tank, and I just mounted my scissor arm on that. If you do not have a shock mount, that motherf***er will pick up every mouseclick and keystroke like you were hitting the mic with a hammer.
These are the parts I'm using:

It came with the desk in the first photos actually. I'm not sure if you can buy them on there own. But honestly it wouldn't be too hard to make one. Or, depending on how big your case is, a monitor stand like his one could work.
Wire loom would help. As would an extra large mouse pad and a stand to get your computer off the floor.
It's a little smaller than your dimension, but depending on the actual feet placement, something like this is what i was looking at for myself a while back. It's actually a monitor stand but if you find one big enough it should work well.

Pick up one of these to get it off the carpet! PC Riser from monoprice. Otherwise great build. Glad you didnt get like a 1000+watt PSU like some people think they need with 1080 -_-;;;
Also for future small upgrades that are life changing would be sleeved PSU cables for the evga PSU. So much easier to manage for the cables.

I love this thing and use it for my tower. Maybe a bit pricey for its purpose, but at least get a piece of cardboard, plywood, or something so that your PSU isn't choking on carpet fiber.
It's not a vertical rack, but Monoprice has a couple cheap multimedia desktop stands that you could use as an equipment stand on top of your desk.
Start with something like this for your Fractal.
Crucial makes good SSD. I have them in several of my PC's with no problems.
I would like to randomly plug this thing.
I have carpeted floor in my room so I didn't want my tower directly on the floor. This thing works perfectly in terms of dimension for a full sized tower. It also matches my silver and glass desk!
I use this and love it.

Hi all I am hoping someone could help me.
I have my computer currently sitting underneath my desk and as my floor is carpeted I have my PC sitting on a piece of cardboard until I find something better to sit my PC on.
I'm thinking of buying a Melamine particle/MDF board from my local hardware store - as anything I find on eBay or Amazon is either not the right dimensions or too expensive. I have seen something like this but I don't know if it's suitable or could possibly break.
Would the particle/MDF board be okay? Or if you have any other suggestions that are easy on the bank and safe for the PC I would greatly appreciate it.
ps. I cannot place my PC on top of my desk as I have limited space and my cat likes to be in high places, and I don't want her sitting on top of it if I can help it.

It’s the Vivo triple monitor stand for up to 27inch. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B1D03GQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_sWIKAbK07PQM2
This is the mount I bought. It came with a dual monitor bracket, I just swapped them from what's based on the amazon Picture.
Let me know if that's not what you were asking exactly.
Yes and not expensive at all.
VIVO Triple LCD Monitor Desk... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B1D03GQ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I've never had a setup like this but I'd imagine you could combine or buy a dual monitor arm with a single monitor mount also attached to it and tilt as needed then retighten the bracket.
Something like this might work. Make sure it will support the measurements and weight of your monitors though.
This one, it's bolted to my desk: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B1D03GQ/
I made my own mount to attach the sound bar to the monitor stand as well.
It's actually mounted to my desk, drilled a hole through the top as the c-clamp that it came on would not work with my specific desk.
The stand is a Vivo Triple monitor mount (https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Monitor-Adjustable-Screens-STAND-V003T/dp/B00B1D03GQ/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1540844500&sr=8-7&keywords=vivo+triple+monitor+mount) and I flipped the arms so that the 34 inch screen was on the bottom and the two 22 inche ones were on the top.
This is the exact one I'm using.
It can be a bitch to get right and can easily break a monitor if you aren't careful. Also be sure to put a ton of torque on the positioning bolts once it's where you want it or else it's likely to slip https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B1D03GQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_qme3CbMJFPP1C

thanks for the reply! I could assume you have the third monitor on its own pole or the wall. Can you elaborate a little on "not quite as nice" for me? I looked at that very mount but I worry about it giving out / losing strength and not being able to keep elevated.

My main concern is having the whole thing be wobbly and unstable. I'm not sure my IKEA desk could even handle the weight of a triple mount.... I also would not be able to stand having the paired monitors being uneven / not lined up perfectly if the extension arms sag. >.< so much indecision, I also am thinking about this mount from Dell:

I have this and while I use it to have the ultrawide at the bottom and two small ones on the top, it's plenty tall enough that I could turn the monitor sideways if I wanted to. Might even be able to use the dual arm and get 2 ultrawides side-by-side.

if you talking about for my legs under the desk, then yes i would agree, i usually end up resting my feet on my subwoofer, i may just get rid of the PC that's under there since i only use it maybe once or twice every 3 months.
For the mounts i use a VIVO Triple monitor mount they works pretty well for my 2x 27" monitors and would recommend it. The worst part was putting it together, granted i never have put anything like that together before.
This might be an option
I love the stand. It's sturdier than those jointed arm stands. I had one of these monitor stands at my past job. Here's a pic of the battlestation. The joints sagged so the monitors weren't level no matter how hard you tried. It probably didn't help that those old school Dell Ultra-Sharp monitors were heavy.

Yeah you should have room. You'll probably end up sacrificing some workspace.
Here's what I got away with in my Daniels Hall dorm room to give you a rough idea of space. That's a 24" monitor on a monitor arm-mount. If you're just using regular stands for your monitors, I highly recommend buying a triple-monitor mount or something like that to give you more real estate on your desk.
Im using just a basic monitor mounting system
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BDT072S/ref=cm_gift_hist_link
Maybe get a multi-monitor mount instead!
This will save desk space and eliminate your need for a bigger desk.
Sure! I am using three Dell UltraSharp 23.8" monitors. They have very high AdobeRGB color accuracy, so it's great for graphic design.
Here's my triple mount. Very sturdy.
Mount-It! MI-753 Triple Screen... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BDT072S?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
First thing to do is to check to make sure your monitors even have VESA mounting points. And if they are 100mm, 75mm or one of the more rare, but out there 200mm x 100mm mounts.
Maybe you already have checked. I've just seen some tears recently over people not checking before ordering.
When you say "vertical" do you mean you would pivot the monitor into portrait? or you would mount one monitor above or below the other two?
Do you want a mount that clamps to the desk? sits on the desk? mounts to the wall? or some combination?
You could go with something like this ... and mount the 22 and 23 next to each other ... as low as possible on the desk. then the 27" above them. http://www.amazon.com/MonMount-Freestanding-Triangle-Orientation-LCD-3501T-B/dp/B00LI6E9JI
Or something like theis with the 27" in the middle while the 22" and 23" are pivoted into portrait on eitehr side. http://www.amazon.com/Mount-It-Articulating-Computer-Monitors-MI-753/dp/B00BDT072S/
Separate monitor arms would be much more expensive, but it might give you the flexibility to swap around the orientation.

Those monitors don't look identical, but you MAY be able to flip all 3 vertical and create a DIY ultrawide situation. That would give you more horizontal desk space so the TV isn't so crowded.
This one has arms you can adjust, but only horizontally (and tilt), you couldn't change any heights.
Same story with this one, but arguably easier to ensure things are more aligned. (This is what I use for 2 monitors that aren't identical and it works well enough.)
This one would let you play with heights, but is 2x the price of the others for that reason.
This was me playing with the idea of 2 horizontal and 1 vertical.
Do you have any experience with the Gerton when it comes to desk-mounted monitor arms (or just how sturdy it is in general)? I currently have a 3-monitor mount but the base of it is huge so I figured I would get a desk-mount system for when I buy a new desk yet I am unsure if the desk can support it. It is one of the reasons I am so hesitant to go with the Linnmom/Karlby.

Thats the one I have. I have 3 23" acer monitors on it and it works great.
The setup and adjustments are a bit of a pain, but it was way cheaper than any other option i could find.
If I'm on a budget again when I buy another, I wont hesitate to purchase again. If I have more $$ to spend, I might look elsewhere.
There are a few monitor mounts on Amazon that may help. I currently use a dual mount, next to my iMac and they move/rotate/tilt in several angles. Something such as this is what I have, although I only use the Dual Monitors.
Those look nice and decent price.
The cheapest triple I ever found was this one: http://www.amazon.ca/Mount--Articulating-Computer-Monitors-MI-753/dp/B00BDT072S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1453227709&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=triple+monitor+stand
there's a bunch of different ones. I could find you one that ships to Australia.
do any of these?
One
Two
Three
Having tried to build one of these myself, I would strongly advise looking for an inexpensive model on a site like Monoprice or similar. Trying to get the hinges/arms to not sag under the weight of large monitors is extremely difficult and you will likely end up wasting a lot of money and effort.
EDIT:
I own the two-arm version of this and have been very happy with it.

I know the Dell Ultrasharps do, or you could also buy a mount with monitor arms. Something like this

~$60, while people complain that it doesn't hold 27" monitors, it fits these 23.6" + frame monitors just fine.
Its extremely well built, very heavy, and no issues with it not holding a position yet.
Here are the monitors I'm using, nothing special really but I love them. And this is the mount.
Nice setup!
This appears to be the monitor stand that was bought - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BDT072S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1 - I also have this stand.
In your experience, have you had any issues with the stand not aligning your monitors equally so that they are level with one another? With my setup, the two outer monitors hang a little bit lower (about half an inch) then the center monitor. If this is an issue that you have dealt with, how did you over come it?
Amazing job! I really like the mounts. However, I can get this one for less than $60. It would take me months to build one.
Are you in metalwork, or is this just a hobby?
Also, how do you convince your wife to let you buy tons of tools?
yes, I was looking at getting this mount
>Tilt: +/- 15 degrees, Swivel: 360 degrees, Rotate: 360 degrees

And then I already had a single monitor wall mount, so I used that for the top monitor.
I like the design, one suggestions why not switch over to the OLOV Leg just in case your floor or carpet is not level. I've had great luck with 6 of these legs making my desk rock solid.
&nbsp;
Also I had used a similar shelf design to support my monitors but eventually went to a pole mount setup, The shelf limited the height of the items I could put under it and I really like having the open space

Double mount
&nbsp;
Triple mount
These are VERY strong and inexpensive as well.
I am better than this :P I have a couch chair without arms (actually is a part from a corner couch) and I also have couchmaster https://www.amazon.com/COUCHMASTER-Ergonomic-Couch-Gaming-Cushions-Mousepad/dp/B00CCHRJ2Q

On a 40" TV, in 1 meter in front of me.

Something like this to be able to lay back on your sofa?
its a little expensive but seems to be the best option
There is a solution for almost any problem ;)

I have something similar to this. Really helps if you want to use keyboard and mouse as well.

Grifiti Fat Wrist Pad 14 Is About 4 X 14 X 0.75 Inch Wrist Rest for Tenkeyless Mechanical and Gaming Keyboards (BLACK NYLON) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FPDAU6Q/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_1cKHxb2BBCQJ4
For me, the feel is good. A bit mushy for about a week, but afterwards, if you can touch type, I'd say its perfect. The bumps do help a TON with tactility. As a high school senior, I've only written a couple long session papers on this but from my experience its really awesome. If i have one recommendation for this board for typing, i'd say get a wrist rest since it sits high in my opinion. I got the Grifiti fat wristrest and now I can game and type for hours. (: About 3 months into this combination and i really like it.
edit: like this! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FPDAU6Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_-Mf5ybJMK5A67
You could always get just a keyboard and also one of these.
Massdrop have the CM Storm Quick Fire Stealth for pretty cheap right now, it's a great board and together with the wrist rest it should cost you about $100 depending on shipping.
Grifiti but I've been looking at others such as the Glorious PC Gaming Race to match my mouse pad or the Ducky to match my full size Ducky.
S Pro looks awesome. I have a model down from that, the QuickFire Rapid with brown switches. Amazing keyboard.
I would highly recommend getting a grifiti wrist rest for it. It fits perfectly with this keyboard form factor and makes typing a lot more comfortable.
I haven't used that one specifically, but I have been using this one recently, and I like it pretty well. I had one of those generic gel ones before, and it also worked well.
I have use https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FPDAU6Q/ref=s9_acsd_hps_bw_c_x_9 in the past though currently I use a custom cut, sanded and sealed piece of rosewood and am loving that.
If you want a TKL I have the Ducky Zero with reds for gaming and I'm very happy with it. Blue switches are probably nicer but we decided we're gonna go for the quieter ones for now (my partner has a Ducky Shine 3 with browns, those are really nice as well). If you don't need a number pad I would highly recommend a TKL, it's very comfortable and saves a surprising amount of space on your desk.
I would recommend this keyboard and this wrist pad - it comes a bit over £100 but it's well worth it. Or if OCUK has some deals running grab something else, the reviews are quite good there.
actually they have a bigger version that I am swapping for https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FPDAU6Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Same here, only thing I'd say is a real negative about this keyboard is the lack of an included wrist rest. I'll be ordering this wrist rest soon to fix this issue.
This is a new thread based off of an older post, but I've saved up some more.
I also need a monitor. This has been recommended to me before.

Looking at this as well.

*edit: clarification.
Since I was curious as well, I looked online.
Looks like this could be it.
Like this?
Yeah O.o I love the white, and the cleaning it has been worth it. Even though I probably don't need to, I end up throwing it in the washer every couple months. Super easy to get nice and clean!
For the actual mousepad...it's this one: http://www.amazon.com/Glorious-Extended-White-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B00NOCZB78, except they seem to have switched the emblem recently. The one I have has the Glorious PC Gaming Race emblem stitched into it, as you can see in the timestamp. And yeah, its the XXL, the long one.
Hello! First of all, thanks for hosting this.
I own 2 mice, Logitech G502 and G602. I use the wireless G602 most of the time, and break out the Proteus Core for more intense or competitive FPS games.
I'm also currently using Glorious' extended mouse mat. Amazon link.
Photo 1. // Photo 2.
I prefer the extended sized mouse pads because I like the aesthetic of having both the mouse and keyboard on the same mat, as well as extra room for your phone or game controller.
This was my first mousepad. I've not really anything to compare it to. I do like the thickness/weight of the pad, and the stitched edges prevent fraying. However, I do wish the logo was not so intrusive.
Best of luck to everyone!

Hello chrisvstherock
I`m building a white setup myself and i have a white mousepad.
It is really practical and matches a white keyboard well.
They show dirt but its easy to get rid off. Just use a wet towel.
The white stays white no doubt about it. I have had it for half a year and it sill looks like new.
I have a https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NOCZB78/ref=twister_B07C16PD4N?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 wich is what i based my answers about.
Hope this helped.

Glorious PC Gaming Race extended mouse pad. Ducky Shine 5 with brown switches and Ducky YOTG keycaps. Main monitor is an Acer 27" 1440p/144hz Freesync IPS panel. The two side moniotrs are Asus 23" 1080p/60hz IPS panels. The chair is an Ikea chair (looks like they don't sell it anymore).
yes! i bought it 2 weeks ago https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NOCZB78/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Lol you can get mouse pads bigger than that
Glorious 3XL Mouse pad

Amazon link : https://www.amazon.com/Glorious-3XL-Extended-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B0164KY294
I had the same problem, and I now use a superwide desk mat under both my keyboard and mouse. Mine was discontinued, but it's very similar to this one that I've been hearing really good things about.
Added benefit of being super comfortable on your wrists/forearms when typing or gaming.
Oh here. Biggest you could find

Not that big, have a huge table though and kind of wish I bought an even bigger one. Dimension: 16"x18"- Extra thickness (5-6mm) for comfort & great for uneven surfaces according to Amazon. The XL Heavy is what I have, kind of want to get the XXXL now so theres literally zero chance I run out of space (I never do in normal shooters but in fortnite with low sens you spin. https://www.amazon.com/Glorious-Extended-Gaming-Mouse-Mat/dp/B0164KY294?th=1
Yeah played promod and cpma tons back in the day. I don't think my sens is that slow either lol, for CSGO I use a 1 at 800 DPI and the 2.8 here is much faster than that.
