Not to swing everything off topic but here is one of my DIY's :D

As you can see I can do amazing things with electronics but I am so poor with wood working that I built it out of my actual desk :D

Takes tools/space I dont have for wood working, its not an issue of skill per say since I used to do carpentry with my stepdad as a kid.

the angles on the left side allready ARE warping

Do not wait, replace them with another custom made one now.

It's not much movement, probably a few fractions of a degree.
The only reason I can see it is because the alignment of the monitors changed slightly.
That's nothing to worry about (yet).

Did you buy these online? I can't find those angle brackets.

I got these from a local store: http://maps.google.de/maps?q=49.01916,8.461615&num=1&t=h&sll=49.01879,8.46104&sspn=0.006295,0.006295&gl=de&ie=UTF8&ll=49.01879,8.461039&spn=0.01199,0.033023&z=16
I'm not up to date on foreign stores that compare to Hornbach but here it is one of the best stores for all kinds of tools and necessitys for everything from hanging pictures on the wall to building the wall in the first place.
I don't even know what stores like that are called in english ;)

Yeah, it would take a while to hop on over to your local store. I guess I'm going to have to fabricate my own or find another way.

Since my monitors are quite a bit lighter than yours and I'm going to do it a bit differently I think I've got a bit more leeway on how I do my angles.

Today I went to all three hardware stores in the area, and the only thing they had were varying sizes of this.

Work is still in progress but I got a few pictures of the setup, sorry for the bad image quality I had to take these with my N900:
*tadaaaa* My work is half done!


The panels match allmost to the milimeter.


The right Hanns.G


The right connector.


The Viewsonic, as you can see it isn't fastened correct. I misjudged the size by 4mm so the lower screws won't fit. I'll fix this tomorrow by enlargening the bottom holes.


The left Hanns.G


The right connector in detail. I had misjudged the forces at work here so I didn't have enough angles. One brass plate and a bit of hammering later I had this.


The two 135° angles at work.


Well, somebody liked this shady and secluded space for sure!



More pics and finish tomorrow.

Good night,
Justus

Cool DIY swingstand for your triple monitor. Nicely done. Keep it up!

Nicely done for a DIY monitor mount. How long did it take for you to finish it? I liked it.I like it!

I needed about 4-6 hours with a friend who helped me.
The problem is that while the techniques described/used here are not complicated in itself they require some tools and at least basic experience to get the result you want.
I will look into this construction again once I relocate again, but right now I don't have the space I'd need to set it up ;)
