DIY Vesa Mount?

frustratedrocka · June 16, 2014

Does anyone know if/how it would be possible to make a DIY vesa mount? Maybe not an articulated arm, but something like a stand that clamps onto / drills through / stands on the desk? I'm currently just stacking the thing on top of a bunch of books, which is a problem, because I do actually read fairly thick books on a semi-regular basis and don't like having to take off my monitor to get to them.

Ideally, I'd like something like this that I don't have to drill through my desk for. Since I spend two thirds of the year in a dorm, drilling through the desk is not an option.

You can, all you need is a piece of metal and drill 4 holes in a square pattern 100mm apart.

It's fairly easy, if you have a drill and can get the metal parts, it's a quick project, just drill 4 screws-holes on the corners of a metal square, add some compatible screws to attatch it to the VESA holes (might wanna use some rubber spacers). and bolt the plate to a desk feet, like the picture you linked.

Building a small stool with wood is even easier:
