Looks very, very nice. Love how clean it is.

What size monitors are you using there?

thanks, glad it could help you out. the monitors are the ones in my sig rig: 2 19" Viewsonics and the center is a 22" Acer. (The reason theyre basically the same height is that the Viewsonics have speakers built into the bottom.)

What size are you going to be using? reason I ask is I had to do some trial and error with the length of the pipes running horizontally behind the center monitor. turns out that, by chance, 10" was the perfect disatance so that the corners of the monitors met flush. no real guarantee it will be like that will all sizes of monitors tho. Id suggest start out with 10" pieces (given you center monitor is around 22"), keep the receipt, and test fit before you tighten anything down. good luck, and make sure to post pictures!

I'm using 3 20" Widescreens. I was debating on going with 12" all around just to be sure.

It also gave me some ideas concerning the legs of the desk, which I haven't bought yet. I was just going to use 4x4s, but I'm thinking some rods to match the new monitor stand would be just right

Thanks for this! I'll definitely get some pictures up as soon as I make it. It'll probably be saturday.

Excellent, excellent stand. I've been looking for a 3xwide solution for over a year.

Rep+ for sure

Great Tri Monitor Stand Mod and on an easy to meet budget too,, well done!!

Peace11uehman · 05-02-09

awsome! Ive been thinking of ways to make my own stand for a while now, but this is a way cheaper solution. Ill post some pics up when i have mine done!

I need less angle on the side monitors though, my monitors are up against a flat wall, ive got it planned out though

Are you using any angle at all? only reason I ask is i was initially looking for less angle as well, like 22.5 degree elbows instead of 45. I think you have to special order those tho, couldn't find any in HD or Lowe's. Id be really interested seeing how it turns out, make sure to post the finished product!

not sure if you said this, but what's stopping the two outside monitors from drooping down? Just the two straps securing each one to the pipe?

yep, that's it. just get them tight enough, and it won't be a problem. like i said, it took a few times of trial and error of tightening and loosening before i got them exactly where i wanted them and at the right angle
