Most may remember my previous "RGB puke" battle station. Recently I've made some updates and wanted to see what you guys think. Below are the specs. Temperatures are sitting at 36C CPU and 35C GPU while idling. Playing Destiny 2 at Highest, temperatures go to about 40C for both CPU and GPU. Watercooling does work :D!

Monitor arms: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003O1UYHG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_1-H-BbV3DVKXT (something like this but the ones I have are out of stock. Mine have 4 screw holes for the wall side)

I recently purchase three of these:

They are basically the same as the one OP posted except they are both cheaper and allow the monitors to rotate. Currently I use them to support 3 Dell 27" U2711 1440p monitors. The monitors have been up for a few months with no problems. Only issue with the mounts is that the screws are pretty bad; I bought heftier ones from the hardware store before mounting.

DO NOT BUY. I bought some of these about a year ago. Here is what happened when I screwed them into the wall too tight:

http://i.imgur.com/fZ59pN8.jpg

ULTRA cheap piece of junk. The backing split in half when I tightend the screws down. And the screws were super cheap as well and stripped easily (see the pic for that too).

Oh yeah and these are definitely NOT $100 retail. I bought mine for $14 each on Amazon about a year ago.

I bought this one to replace:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003O1UYHG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Only $13 and MUCH better.

I was looking forever for a proper triple monitor stand. At one point I was even considering spending a couple hundred dollars on a nice stand. Then I had the great idea to just get three wall mounts. Spent $15 a piece on them.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003O1UYHG/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is what I got. They work great. They are full-tilt and I'm still not sure if that is awesome or not because it's hard to get them to align properly, but it may have been impossible without it.

Used this little guy and mounted it with a cheap stud finder.

​

I did try to use a standard 100x100 mount for 32" TVs I already had but it came with incorrect screw sizes.

​

i used 2 of these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003O1UYHG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 for the sides and one of these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0016CDE0E?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 for the center. incredibly tedious process to line them up correctly but end result was worth it

• Screens:
  Your laptop appears to have a M5970 /w VGA, HDMI and DisplayPort and Eyefinity support.
  I'd recommend x2 of these IPS screens: Dell u2410. These screens have very good picture quality and their connections fits your laptop prefectly. They are pricy, but IPS provides the best picture quality.
  
  You may also check 2412 and the 2312, however they do not have HDMI.
  
  ----
  
  
• Keyboard:
  Mechanical /w Cherry MX blue, or MX Brown if you prefer more silent keys (video comparing sound levels).
  
  Check out brands like DAS, Filco, Leopold, Ducky, wasdkeyboards.com
  
  ----
  
  
• To connect your PS3 to a monitor you have two options: use connect laptop to monitor using DisplayPort cable and PS3 to monitor with HDMI OR purchase a HDMI switch. Then, connect HDMI cable from your laptop plus the HDMI from your PS3 into the switch and connect the switch to the screen. You want a active switchr /w it's own power supply. You can also get HDMI switches with remote control. With the switch I linked, adding a TV above your station would not be an issue at all.
  
  ----
  
  
• For monitor mounts you got two basic options: wall mount or a desk mount/arm. I can't speak for the wall mount, but I have three of those desk mounts and very happy with the purchase. You have to decide which mount fit you best. They both have their advantages.
  
  ----
  
  For your laptop you got countless options. Here's my suggestions:
  
  
• Although this does not hide the laptop in any way, I think a laptop stand like this one looks pretty awesome. An advantage with this setup is that you can tie the cables to the mount's arm and thus always be available. You will always know where the cables are, that they are long enough and you can plug them in to your PC even when sitting.
  
  
• If you have a keyboard tray but don't use it, the tray would be an ideal place to hide the laptop. It'd be completely hidden and have almost the same cable management benefits of the mount.
  
  
• Laptop stand. Just to mention it. Cables everywhere, possibly limited moveability due to cable length, terrible cable management.
  
  ----
  
  
  
  Unfortunately I can't help you with iPad or chair, but I would advice against a glass desk. You will have a harder time with cable management and you will always be able to see your cables. If you get a desk such as the Galant series from Ikea, you get more options for cable management (such as trays and cable holes).

You seriously don't have $10?

I used 3 of these:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003O1UYHG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Mounted them to a board between the uprights on the Jerker desk. Works if I want to go portrait too. It was a pain to line up though.

I have two of these. They can extend from the wall, tilt left and right, and tilt the angle of the screen.

You can loosen the bolts so that you can adjust them on the fly, but then they move anytime you bump them. I tightened my main one so that it stays straight and level, and my secondary monitor is loose so I can move it around and friends can use it for their XBOXs.

I have my wife's monitor on this one. Not fancy, but it does the job.

Here is what I use to mount my PG348Q. Properly mounted onto studs. Cheap and haven't had any issues. I "monitor" it now and then to make sure the weight hasn't caused it to shift down but it's been great so far. I've had it for 2 months. I do keep it pretty close to the wall though.

Will post pictures later.

They are AMAZING. They adjust in every direction I need them to and have allowed me to perfectly align my monitors. They have also just dropped in price by three dollars. I have zero complaints about them. You will notice that there are two openings in the plate just behind the two arms that connect to it. I used the upper hole to bolt the reinforcement plate to the stock VESA mount on the left and right monitors as these mounts are a little too short to use both bolt holes on the arms. The top arm bolt was then attached to the reinforcement plate. You will also have to remove the plastic cap at the end of the upper arm as it will not fit with this bolt in place. I just added a new picture to the album so you can see what I am talking about.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003O1UYHG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Based on the look, I'm 99% sure they are these.
From my personal experience with the arms (as standard monitor arms for a DIY standing desk, not as a HOTAS setup), they are fairly sturdy provided you tighten the arms up before use. I imagine as long as you're not pushing down or pulling up very hard on the HOTAS, they'd be pretty useful. I think it would also be fairly easy to build a "lock-in" peg or something similar to secure them to the chair arms.

Get a wall mount. Measure how far he needs to sit comfortably there and find something that will reach. This one is cheap and extends 15" out. I used that one for a while with my previous desk setup

Also make sure your monitor can fit it before you buy. 99% of them do but obviously check before you buy it

Got them on Amazon

two wall mounts and a vesa mount for ipad. the phone mount is kinex hot glued to the ipad mount, with the charge cable glued in. Lotta hot glue in this build.

I have a TV similar to this and a mount like this. It costs half as much as those fancy briefcases others have linked, but it has a couple of drawbacks.

• It won't fit in a lot of racks
  
• You have to stay in your rack to play
  
  Put some velcro tape, or other adhesive on the PS4 itself and you're good to go.

I'm just using 4 of these

It was a pain to hang them all to line up but it worked well in the end

[here is one of them] (http://www.amazon.com/VideoSecu-Articulating-Monitor-Motion-ML12B/dp/B003O1UYHG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1414299098&sr=8-3&keywords=monitor+mount), no idea about the other, it was like $5 on amazon

This is the mount I used . I mounted the "wall" bracket to the shelf where people keep the CRT/LCD. By giving it some distance, I was able to adjust the tilt of the monitor and the position (I moved it higher when I gave up on the idea of playing with bar stools)

EDIT: here is what the back of the dell monitor should look like when you take off desktop stand.

http://phillihp.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/40.-mount-dell-4-300x225.jpg

It's a VideoSecu mount, here is the link:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003O1UYHG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_pxmpyHv2A3zp7

It's a wall mount. Something like this should be fine for most people just check the weight requirements. Be sure to get a stud finder if you don't have one. If you don't mount this in a stud it will fall, ripping a hole in your wall and probably destroying your monitor.

I personally prefer clamp mounts. They just attach to your desk. Easier to install but not as aesthetic.

im sorry but i actualy dont know where to buy them, this mounts i found them abandoned and pick them up.
I also dont like the normal ebay/amazo link and prefer around me, but since im from Portugal, all those polemounts simply dont exist...

but you can buy a normal TV wall mount, and put it sideways, pointing up. im prety sure those mounts you can find, and at least here they are cheap (20 tp 40€)

This one is a good exemple https://www.amazon.com/VideoSecu-Articulating-Mount-27-Inch-ML12B/dp/B003O1UYHG/ref=sr_1_10?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1484915384&sr=1-10

just make sure its a model that you can tight the screws and lock them since normaly its mounted upwards and the screws are a bit losse so you can swing left and right, but in our case, its going to be up and down, and you dont want them to move.

I used these. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003O1UYHG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You could wall mount the monitor underneath the shelf. Save some space on your desk to better position your keyboard and laptop.

I use this on my secondary monitor and it works fine

All monitors are mounted on the wall with these individual mounts.

This is the one I bought. Essentially one of the cheapest ones I could find that had a flat mounting plate: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003O1UYHG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I bought a TV wall mount for my d120 light. It's awesome, I can position it just how I want and also swing it out of the way for cleaning. I used zipties to attach it to the mount. For $12 it's awesome. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003O1UYHG/ref=s9_top_hm_b3Buu_g23_i6?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=mobile-hybrid-12&pf_rd_r=1NFR22SPVH1XK4BCWN1X&pf_rd_t=30901&pf_rd_p=f27bd3bb-cb5f-5e14-938b-8dadceb1deab&pf_rd_i=760796

I used these to bring my screens closer:

I wouldn't trade my volair for anything. It's been way better than a desk.

When you say arms, I assume you mean the kind which clip to your desk.

How about individual wall mounted arms? These are usually pretty cheap ($10 - $25 each) and if you mount them properly they don't sag at all.

Here's one for $12:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003O1UYHG/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1494052047&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=wall+mount+for+monitor&dpPl=1&dpID=41mSjibmRPL&ref=plSrch

Looks like that is 18.5 pounds (weight probably includes the mount?)

To compare this mount can hold 44 pounds and can get the job done. I have mine going directly into studs holding an Acer XR341CK.

Super easy to do it in this configuration. these are VESA mounts that I used they rotate and tilt. This will work perfectly for you.

Yeah, I mounted them both on the wall. I found 2 studs and measured the spacing so I could have the monitors touching w/out a gap in between. Here are the mounts I used:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003O1UYHG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I ordered two of these, but they're both different. The first one has tilt adjustment and the other doesn't. This is what it looks like behind the wall.

Thanks :) I used three individual wall mounts

Good job on the project, but they do make cheap mounts, although they are wall mounts I own both of these which would have been cheaper.

It is actually three of these mounts! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003O1UYHG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Or get something like this?

They are made of surprisingly good quality materials, but have no height adjust so everything has to be measured well.

Here I go! (Sorry it took me so long to repost, my old post got lost on my phone!)

The Keys to a Successful Battle Station are storage, usable space, location, and proper lighting. Well, IMO at least.
That being said, you've already completed phase one: choosing your location!!
I can't tell from the photo if you can squeeze a chair into that area (I'm assuming you can), but it doesn't look like your gal can scoot under that table.
When applying makeup you need to zoom in and out, so I think this could be a great way to redesign this space:

This is my opinion of a battle-station guide for a small budget.

I would like to think you don't have to spend a ton of money to get what you really want and need. However, my projects are usually touched up with a bit of my artistic flair. If that is something you lack, then spending slightly more money might give you that polished feel without the hassle of hand designing everything. Just remember that everything can always be customized!

What you'll need:
1 Mirror (something like 10x10, but the mirror in your picture may work fine!)
1 Monitor Mount (and a piece of wood to connect the mount to the back of the mirror)
Storage Units

The idea here is that your girl can move the chair aside and the desk becomes another nice piece of furniture, but if she wants to do her makeup, she can just pull the chair up, sit down and get to busy.

That's where the mount comes in. It lets you swivel and move the mirror so you don't have to crane over to see what and to where you are applying to. AND you won't have to go crazy and lop that desk apart!
.
Storage is the only thing that keeps me sane as far as my makeup goes. I have 20 different plastic containers in my bathroom closet all labeled and easy to find. It REALLY beats fishing around in a basket.

I did a little online shopping, and this is what I found.
Pre-mounted mirrors can get pretty spendy - I think they were averaging like $50, yikes! I also didn't like how small they were. I think a better alternative would be to take a monitor mount and attach it to a mirror of choice.

Here is a starter list of the item's you'll need:
Mount

Mirror

Piece of wood to connect the mount and mirror. (Just make sure it's slightly larger than the mount head. I would suggest using a tight bonding glue to secure the wood to the back of the mirror. Also make sure its not just attaching to paper on the back only).

~Those 3 pieces will probably set you back around $20. But you might already have some of that stuff around the house, so bonus!

Since the mirror is off the counter, you can focus on storage space. This is where you can get creative. Depending on your budget, there are loads of ways to go here.
From the easiest and possibly cheapest ways like plastic storage, to heavier wood storage, this is where you might find budget and or time issues.
I looked around and similar wood drawers can also be pretty damn expensive. But that doesn't mean you have to settle for cheapy-looking stuff.

Here's what I would do:
Buy 2 of these and a bottle of matte white spray paint (or color of choice) and spray paint them so they don't look plasticy and cheapy. If you are feeling daring, then make a design! After the white paint dries entirely, stencil out a decal (maybe a trio of nail polishes?), tape it to the front, and spraypaint a different color over the white!
That would give it a nice warm touch without spending hardly any cash.
You could do similar ideas with items like These stackable drawers.
This is basicallyhow I envision these being used.

I guess what I personally don't like about a lot of battle-stations is how much clutter there is. The stations always look adorable but they have a trillion pieces of makeup showing. I think a few pieces showing is enough, so I'm kind of a storage freak. :P
I'll give you an example. Here is how I see most makeup-battle-stations. All I can think about is crap everywhere. And no piece of makeup has a home! How sad :(
But, thankfully This would be a very simple solution.

Painting the drawers to hide the contents, to me, is a necessary step. But you mentioned you were construction savvy, so you could even build her a nice storage drawer :)
Maybe something like So? Or like So?.

Let me know if you'd like additional advice, and good luck!

would this vesa mount work for this monitor?

i'm a little confused because of how people say a 29 in ultrawide monitor would be a smaller size 16:9 monitor.

Hi. This sounds like such a fun project to do! I also agree with the mount idea.

I've used this for my monitors before I switched to these. Both are great quality, easy to install, and deliver what they advertise.

The benefit of these articulating types is that they can also tilt, swivel, and rotate. I don't know how your vanity is set up, but tilting might be something to consider if you ever both sit and stand. The swivel might be helpful if you're trying to catch the best natural light from a particular window.

The former is definitely more affordable and a simple enough solution. It's very sturdy when mounted onto a stud, or be sure to use anchors. Also, if you plan to use this type of mount, just be aware that when it's pushed back, the center of the mirror (if you affix it to the mount at the exact center) will be offset about a couple inches to the side from where the mount is attached to the wall. I hope I explained that well enough. There should be more info on this in the reviews with photos to help explain what I mean, or feel free to ask me for more details.

The latter (or something like it) would be a great option if you didn't want to attach anything to the wall at all as it can clamp onto an edge of your vanity, if possible. This might be a good route if your vanity is floating away from a wall. This one is much more costly, though, and I would personally rather spend that money on the makeup goodies lol. I'm only mentioning this option as it's the only other mount I've had experience with and it's a great mount, but there could be similar ones out there at a lower price point with the same features by now (I bought it a couple years ago).

Safety tips: I don't know if you have plans for how to affix the mirror to the mount, or what kind of mirror you want to use, but in regards to safety (if it is a simple bare mirror) I would recommend to create/attach/build some kind of backing/frame for the back and around the edges of the mirror so that it's more sturdy when you move it around. Also, I would recommend sticking bumpers onto the parts of the mount that come into contact with the back of the mirror when the mirror is pushed back towards the mount.

I hope this was helpful. Please feel free to ask me any questions.

Hi. What features are you looking for? Portrait or landscape orientation? Do you want easy docking/undocking, charging, and the ability to connect several peripheral devices? If so this open-source VESA mount might be a good option. Just get a generic $11 VESA wallmount to pair with it or one of the longer gas-charged arm designs.

If you don't need easy docking/undocking and charging, you can use a generic tablet mount suitable for a larger ipad and similar devices. My customers tend not to go for those since they often don't fit Surface exactly right.

I wonder what else they cheap on out if they're unwilling to spring for a $12 VESA mount.

Does this vesa mount works with the VG248QE?

What about a simple articulating wall mount like this ?
I used a really similar one (maybe this exact one) to mount a ~24" tv in my bedroom. Folds right up to the wall when I need it out of the way and pulls out & swings around in any direction when needed.

**Edit- And in terms of being nervous about mounting to the walls, just buy or borrow a cheap studfinder. You'll have no problem supporting a small tv with a couple of screws into a stud!

This guy should help.

Yeah that kind of sucks. Maybe one day if I have the will to fix it I'll buy something like this and move on. Space is key!

Hell yeah closet desks!! One of my bedrooms has a closet with two sliding doors so I measured the width of my closet and used the door as my desktop. It's been perfect. I have 3 of these for my monitors and they've held up pretty good over the last few years.

I used these for the mounting

Is this a good vesa mount? Also, my monitor the Acer GN246HL has a problem where I get artifacts on mose dark colors, and it looks staticy

I don't know of any stands that will even support 2 ultrawides like that. I'm a big "throw it on the wall because it's cheap and super sturdy and saves a lot of desk space" kind of guy lol. If it becomes an option I highly recommend these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003O1UYHG?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

Anyone know if this monitor would fit this mount?

Just bought 2 of these monitors, so thanks for sharing the deal! I'm so excited for my first dual monitor setup!!

It is mounted on one of these. I have a Rpi3 and a small speaker strapped to it as well. The cords are a little messy still, but everything is up off the table except for the mouse and keyboard.
