[Build Log] RGD - Custom Built Surround Monitor Stand

[Alex(PlayMedium)]

This is amazing, great job :D

[w_km]

Damn nice.  Really cleans up the entire workstation!  New design looks robust too, though I think you'll want to move that keyboard back a bit...you may get lost in all that pixel goodness...can't wait to see the 4K versions of this next year  :D

Going to check three things off the list stuff do to:

- Cable management

- Lighting

- Minor Monitor Adjustments

Here we go!
 

Finished!

So currently all that is left on my to do list is:

- Make USB hub that will sit flush with bottom of one of the monitors

- Painting or anodizing the hinges

Stay Tuned!

I can't help but notice that the right monitor is slightly higher placed than the one next to it. But this is absolutely freaking genius!!! Sure as hell beats paying $300+ for an OEM stand, plus it looks so clean and just overall great!

Holy Shit! That's... That's... just beautiful. Beautiful lighting as well! Looks fantastic  :wub:

I'd be pretty OCD about it as well :P

Can you link all of the parts that you used to build this? I kind of want to do one like this myself :D

[joeyknew]

That's dedication. What a great monitor setup!

Haha, same here. great work though.

Estimated total cost? That thing is awesome!

[Complx]

Estimated total cost? That thing is awesome!

 

Well, right now, It's sitting around $175 - $200 approx.  The hinges were the most epensive part, $25 a piece, and I ended up buying 3 of them ($75 total)

 

Overall, I feel I built a better quality stand for a cheaper price, it doesnt have as many features or the same amout of flexability, but I was willing to sarcafise that.

Another update!
 
A smaller one this time, I got the USB hub completed and mounted today.  Was a bit off with some things, but over all it turned out looking great!  I had some extra pieces of 80/20 left over from when I built the stand, so I used them to make the hub mount.
 

 

 

 

 
Oops!
 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

 

 
Bonus! So I found that I could put old pieces of hardware in the open space behind my keyboard and it made for some good eye candy!
 

 

 

Only one or two more things before I would call this completely finished! Stay Tuned!

Couldn't help but notice that beautiful 800D on water in the background :) The monitor stand is brilliant! Excellent craftsmenship!

What kind of LEDs did you use to have the light behind the monitors?

[ProGearUk]

This is extremely well done sir. What are the LED'S that you have as a backlight attache to your desk. I may get a set of the Phobya ones that are RGB and then use a Molex Power Brick so that they don't need to be in a PC
