5x1 monitor stand?

[OddsCrazyStuff]

Any suggestion where to find a monitor stand that can support this setup?

The original stands works, but its a pain to try and align them according to each other.

 

I want it to be standing on the desk and not mounted to the desk, since I cant drill in it and the edge is too far away from where I'm sitting.

I'm fine with a combo solution, where 2 or more stands are put together to make 1 big one, as long as its acts like one unit once done.

 

5x1 27"

I'm not the first one to want a 5 monitor setup, so there has to been someone out there that have made a solution for me.

you make it yourself... like i had to do for my 32 + 34" screens.

 

Here is what you need:

what you do is bend and cut the DIN RAIL into shape. Screw the legs into the top of your desk using the wood screws.

 

You will also need some bolts that fit the VESA mount in the back. I think VESA uses M4 or M5 threading.

 

End result. something like what i made.... (look in my signature at the pictures of my setup)

Yeah, I guess there is the DIY approach. I just need to figure out where the monitors needs to be in relation to each other first (how little or much angle I want/need between them).

With several 1000$ worth of monitors, so is it not that much of a problem to pay for a proper stand.

But what I guess I will end up doing, is getting 2x 3 monitor stands and find a way to join them together.

Since it seems that not enough people want my setup for any company to make it (closest I found was for 24").
