Wow, great mod!
Where did you buy the triple monitor stand, and what did it cost?

On a sidenote, I have been looking quite a while to update my lcds with new ones with a thinner bezel,
Any body find a brand with real thin (1cm or so) bezels? The ones I found are from Dell, but are expensive (350 euros, is more than 400US$).

Regards,
Martin

Yup thats the exact stand i used... i bought it from tiger direct in Toronto

I used thses monitors cause they were inexpensive and had the smallest bezel's i could find with out paying double the price of what i paid.

Here it is for $174.24, even then, still too rich for my blood.

I can't believe they charge that much for just some metal and molded plastic!

Thats actually about the price I paid for one of my monitiors.

This unit is allot more than "just some metal and molded plastic!"

Its a very well constructed mounting system...has spring tension adjustments for swivel and for raising and lowering the unit...this thing will not even come close to tipping with three monitors mounted on it...well worth the money if you value your equipment.

Good to know the quality is good.

I'm just making the point of the price of what amounts to a forth monitor (depending on how much you spent). This thing is no where near the technological complexity of an LCD. It is just some metal and plastic. Despite the quality (which makes me more inclined to buy one), even selling it for $170 someone is walking away with $150. :lol:

I'm very tempted, the idea of consolidating my three monitors into one has a great appeal to me. But, my cutoff price was closer to the $100 range.

I agree its a crap load of money just for an arm...
Here is where i bought mine from

http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2475912&CatId=576

Cost me $300 Cdn...but im glad i bought it as i would not have been able to do the mod the way i wanted to without it.
