    DIY triple monitor stand (my take on it)

    nice, it looks good and solid. don't forget to post how it looks when you attach it to the mount, I might have to make some alterations to mine and try your idea !!!!

    DIY triple monitor stand (my take on it)

    the arm would not break but it would not stay supported to the wall with the extra weight. So I welded it to a steel strip, then bolted it to my stud with 5 lag bolts. it's not going anywhere !!!!! by default the arm cannot be bolted as is to the wall, it's just not enough surface area, I...

    DIY triple monitor stand (my take on it)

    this is tru you can use those TV arms, but you will have to see how much weight it can support. my 3 monitors plus pipe are between 75-100 lbs. and when I pull the monitors out to full extention the weight is doubled, all wanting to rip right out of the wall. trust me I found out the hard...

    DIY triple monitor stand (my take on it)

    well it's been a while but I did MANY upgrades, I now took my triple monitor stand and made it articulated, connecting it to the back wall, a little welding and I was good to go! first I removed the 2" pipe and added an articulating arm, and a quick weld I had an issue with it ripping...

    DIY triple monitor stand (my take on it)

    i don't think blue is depressing, it's soothing, when i'm developing it's easy on the eyes, and after hours of coding, trust me, i know. it's an actual bright white, but gives off a 'blue' hue, maybe that's why it doesn't bother me much. I like the mouse idea, it does need something, i've...

    DIY triple monitor stand (my take on it)

    here is the table top, flat black, waiting to dry so i can bring it inside. i figured flat black, cause if i used glossy, i would see the reflection of the monitors in them. and i still get a glossy finish when i flip the table over and the glass is on top, with the painted side down. here...

    DIY triple monitor stand (my take on it)

    it never ends. ok new mods, i am spraypainting my glass tabletop flat black (underneath), and building in some backlighting on the monitors. i got a few superbright LED strips, 12v, i already created the plug that goes in the power supply, so i can pull power right from the PC. hope to have...

    DIY triple monitor stand (my take on it)

    took about 3 days to get the finishing touches on the stand, 20 minutes to make the speaker mounts. i think the total was $75 for all the piping and joints. and the extra brackets and pipe i had left over i used to make the speaker stands. if i have to redesign anything, i think it would...

    DIY triple monitor stand (my take on it)

    the video is great, but i was lacking in sound, so i got a pair of eagle 75w speakers and sub. the tweets really give me crisp high's, the sound is great and the speakers look great in my setup. I chose them specifically cause they are square. here is the new speaker setup close up...

    DIY triple monitor stand (my take on it)

    just on a side note, time to make minor adjustments. i need my monitors to be able to slide up and down to make everything even, that's the only piece that i don't have. so what i am going to do is take my monitor brackets and turn my main bolt holes into bolt slots. if they are slotted they...

    DIY triple monitor stand (my take on it)

    mine is a 27" setup, it can hold 30" with no issues. 1/2" steel pipe works wonders. but i would weld the joints like i did, then you'll have no worries.

    DIY triple monitor stand (my take on it)

    yea haven't quite figured that part out yet, i might put some paper or cardboard inside. i am not painting the grill. so i will tape that off, only the white part is getting painted.
