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 !!!!

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...

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...

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...

i got everything from home depot. one stop shopping !!!!! go back there again, you might just have gotten an employee that had a 'duh' moment print out one of the pictures to show them, maybe that might jar their memory.

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...

ok here it is, my famous back lights. This desk is getting pimped out!!!!! here are the actual led's here is my FINAL tripple monitor setup !!!!!!! GOD DAMN, I AM DONE!

wow, i didn't expect it to look this good, now i have to do more. here is a closeup of underneath, painted flat new table installed side view of table top view of table i am currently working on the backlighting

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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.

same here, i'm good. only because i use 45 degree, so each monitor is the exact distance from me.

i would stick with 45 degree, no matter if the screens are portrait or landscape. the 22 degree elbow makes the outlying monitors difficult to look at because you are looking at them on an angle, unlike the 45, where you are looking at each monitor head on. at first i thought 22 degree would...

yea i know, in the good ole days, they were white, now they are a nice shade of yellow/white, lol i think i am going to spraypaint them black, then they would look new again. they sound great, just don't look very nice on my monitors. i've had them for 6+years and they always work. i cut my...

as a quick finishing touch, i have bunch of old monitor stands, from previous screens, and they are full of good plastic parts, so i took one of those parts to finish out the pipe under the monitor, so it looks more 'professional'

YOU CAN DO IT, trust me, it's not hard, you just need patients to make sure everything is aligned the way you want it. you don't have to weld, i just did that to make it secure. you can use loctite, or even a liquid weld. make a trip to home depot, they have all the parts you need, and they...

ok so i wanted speakers fast so i made this quick setup, i wanted to make it out of pvc, to make it lightweight, but i had a hard time securing the pipe hanger. So I took same 1/2 inch pipe and made a quick stand. welded the pipe hanger to the pipe itself, then just turn upside down and Poof...

here is a better picture, more light since i don't have a wooden desk, i don't have the luxury of running my cables behind the desk. i have to keep them strapped to the pipes or it just looks messy.

your speakers look nice on the wall, mine are small and would look silly hanging up there. not to mention they are angular so it would be hard to mount without a shelf for them to sit on. i could set up an old onkyo sterio, i got dozens, hook up some nice speakers and a sub. (since i build...

oh yea, anything with metal and welding goes hand in hand :) the reason i had to use the weld is because what i forgot to mention is with my super human strength, i broke the pipes, lol. i wanted to make sure they didn't rotate on me again so i tightened it so much it snapped off cleanly at...

i did think of mdf, but i figured steel pipe is the easier way to go. i'm not familiar with creating bends out of MDF, then strength is another obsticle, those 3 monitors at a 45 degree angle adds alot of weight at the tips. I'm glad you liked the setup, candy76man was my inspiration. i...

here is a vid of NFS hot persuit. i had a hard time playing the game and filming with my other hand, lol this is a MOV file - click here

ok it took all of about one day to finish. one thing i found out quick in the construction is that a tac of weld on the joints goes a long way, i was all done when one arm drooped down and monitor hit the table, i was not a happy camper so i did a quick weld on all the joints and that didn't...

I signed up to this forum just to say, congrats on your setup. I've been looking around for DIY ideas for tripple monitor stands as well, and took all the best ideas from all of them. and i have to say, your setup has all the best features. the only difference with mine is i went all the way...
