Budget quad monitor setup for 82$ U.S.

[doomsriker]

I am a college student on a budget, but I wanted an epic 4 monitor setup for multitasking. I could have blown all my food money and picked up 4 4k monitors brand new. Or, I could have picked up 4 480i CRTs for almost free.I decided instead to look for the best used monitors i could find as cheap as possible. This method took a while, but many trips to my local salvation army and hours of monitoring craigslist later and I picked up the following [top] dell P2012H (13$),

dell 2709W (9$), [left/right] dell p1911 (60$ for the pair). I think all these monitors were exceptionally good deals especially the center display. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for the tip.

Wow, awesome deals you got there. To make it even better, if they are all VESA compatible I would look into getting a very flexible 4-arm stand so that you can align them in a square (or however you choose).

They are all VESA compatible luckily so I could invest in a mount at some point.

Friend of mine actually built a vesa mount for cheap. Don't remember exactly how he did it, but he essentially used PVC pipes connected to brackets attached to the vesa mount. All completed, it looked pretty good and was quite solid. It even supports some of the basic adjustments, such as height and tilt.
