What are the Best Budget Monitor Arms?

[PowerPCFan]

(TL;DR What's a good monitor arm under $100 that will support 3 monitors?)

 

Right now, I have 2 monitors on my very small desk. Once I get my 98" desk in a few months, I'll get a 3rd monitor. I want the layout to look like this:

 

What's a good monitor arm under $100 that will support 3 monitors? The AOC ones are very light and the Acer is much heavier, but no heavier than 15lbs. I don't want them on my desk with stands like I'm doing now, it looks bad.

This is a bit over budget at $125, but this is what I have at work:

Currently holding a 27" 4k monitor in the middle and two 22-23" 1080P monitors on either side. Has a wide range of height adjustments (good for me because I sit tall at my desk) Highly recommend

I'm sure that would work great, thanks! I'll ask someone with Amazon Prime to buy it once I have my desk because I don't have Prime ($170 without it)

Oh I Upgraded in January but I haven't updated my signature until I write the blog (and I've bene really slow on that)

 

Personally the only thing I'd change is switching out the surge protector for a UPS. Admittedly more expensive, but it protects your PC from blackouts / brown outs, and "smart" ones can safely shut down your pc if the battery runs out so you don't end up with any corrupt files or data.

I think a UPS is too expensive, but that's a good idea. I do have a whole-house generator but it's old so it takes about 5 minutes to restore power, unlike newer ones that are instant. If I ever get a UPS, can I plug a surge protector into a UPS for more outlets?
