Anyone know a source for a inexpensive 3 monitor mount?

Feb 22, 2012 12:24 AM

About a year ago I bought 3 21" widescreen monitors that I have on my computer. I thought I'd use it for gaming (and I do for flight sim) but I use it a lot more for everyday stuff than I thought.

I'd like to get a decent, but cheap, three arm mount for it with a screw in base (not a clamp). I can build one but was looking for one to buy.

Anybody know a good source that you have used?

I have started to see value in pvc pipe, it is cheap, easy to cut and assemble. Plastic pipe is like $5 for 12 feet and the elbows are $.50
I modded this for a display without a stand http://gaussmarkov.net/wordpress/thoughts/another-pvc-amp-stand/
for your 3 displays perhaps you could use this design.

@caffeine_dude: That design is very close to what I had come up with on paper except I was using a larger T joint that the smaller supporting pipe would slide through so you could adjust the monitors left and right, plus plus tilt. I was going to use a set screw to hold them in place once done.

I like this one as well though, may have to consider it.

Thanks.

It isn't cheap, but I have had firsthand experience with Ergotron. As far as I know, all their multi-monitor desk mounts have the option of screw-in and clamp.

I bought their dual-stacking arm mount and it has served me well for the last 4 years.

They do have triple-display options, but not with articulating arms. Honestly, I would go with the dual and leave the other one on its original pedestal stand.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
