[@terrific2526]

I need some help, my desk is 6 inches thick, and all the monitor clamps on amazon say they clamp up to desks 3 inches thick. Would it be ok to use the clamp on my 6 inch desk even though it only holds 3? Or am I out of luck?

[@themythosgaming]

I really enjoy what you have done and has given me ideas on my own set up. I am hoping to get started on this coming week! I will post my own videos when I get them done! Thank you for the awesome ideas and videos!

Which mounts did you use?

[@HeyCMDR1991YT]

I am truly amazed how clean your set up is😍 I think you have earned the cleanest PC set up of all time😍 unfortunately for me it’s a lot of work to simply drill holes and I truly suck at wall mounting stuff😭 so instead my PC desk set up is very similar to yours except the wires are hiding behind a metal wall cover😎👍 and it matches the color of my wall which is white like yours I am using a laptop docking station with triple Samsung 120 Hz monitors they are bezel less so that way it looks like a Ultra Wide curved monitor😍 so what I did was I removed the left and the right leg stands only the middle has the leg stand the other two is using a wall mounting bracket that is connected to the middle monitor I can assure you it will not tilt over😁👍 because the legs are spread wide long and of course I am using a wired keyboard and mouse for the best gaming experience😍 after all the set up I made it I only spent $500 in general and it’s way better than purchasing a overpriced Ultra Wide curved monitor I guarantee Ultra Wide curved monitors will never succeed if they continue to sell them at $1000🤦‍♂️ my way is more affordable😉👍 yes I am using a cat seven gold plated ethernet cable which is connected through the laptop docking station I can finally start my KZbin/twitch career😍 also for those who are wondering what laptop i have all you need to know is I’m using the Lenovo yoga 2020😍its powerful enough to play some games at 120 FPS😁👍 I shall wait for your reply.

I greatly appreciate the clean cable consolidation. I’ve been a sound engineer for about 15 years now, and one thing that drives me up the wall is a super messy cable job, especially if it’s a permanent installation. Great work!

[@AdamDrumm]

What would you recommend for monitor type speakers with this type of setup?

[@VictoryAviation]

@ Totally depends on what your goals are. If you’re doing video editing or color correction, there’s a lot you could use. If you’re editing sound, then there are less options because sonic precision becomes much more important. If you’re making music, then it really gets into how much you want to spend.

What is your wall made of?

[@davidrobinson4400]

Even if you have solid brick walls, this is a good technique for mounting multiple monitors side by side. You can play with the positioning of the monitor arms/brackets to get them aligned nigh perfectly. If you get new monitors in the future with different dimensions, you don't need to re-drill the wall, you just need to adjust the position of the brackets on the plank, which would be a lot easier.

[@Arterexius]

Lot's of people saying that this is impossible to do in most European homes. No it's not. I'm a Dane and although I live in an apartment with drywall, it is a rental, so cutting holes in the walls isn't exactly an option for me. What is an option though, is to build an extra wall on top of that wall (I've done so using pallet wood and effectively sit in a corner of two massive pallet walls) and that is also an option in houses with stone walls. Yes, you lose a little bit of space, but it's a negligible amount as cables aren't exactly taking up several 30 centimeters worth of space. I'd be surprised if you have to use even 15. Build an accent wall and route your cables through that. Boom, seamless cable management and a set of floating monitors for the ultimate, clean and modern setup

[@whizatit]

Hope you checked with your landlord first, most leases or rental agreements require approval first for any building inside of the unit/home/duplex/flat/condo/apartment.

[@ΚυριακοςΚετσες]

Your dedication to this project and the result make me jealous. Good job!!!

[@superdstar2001]

Tech Teacher, you're getting a new subscriber today. I have done desk mounted double for work purposes, but 3 in the air with no wires hanging, and utilizing measuring tape, squares, and your planning was just as much work than actually getting them onto the wall. Very knowledgable and succint. I have no need for 3 monitors, but after watching this, I kind of want 3 monitors hiding on my wall. For all you EU and other countries who don't use sheetrock, in the US, this is how you run cable from the attic or down a wall, every time, no matter what. I do like using those clear and orange clamps instead of wire caps for electrical work. Other than that, 2 handed high 5! Your work is real nice!

[@ThatTechTeacher427]

Great work. I did a similar office project a few years back. I built my desk from 16'x1.5'x2.5" cedar planks and topped it with 3/4" tempered glass. I ran 4 inch pvc piping through my walls for cabling. It's beautiful but I can't put in a monitor arm because I butted the glass to the wall. I think I will try your wall mount route for my ultra wide and secondary 27".

I use the same "board against the wall" technique for large TV mounts that may not line up with studs. . Something I've used to hide the bare wood, hardware, etc. is to wrap the board in felt. . Has a side benefit of not trying to dig into the wall when you use the lags.

[@FIintztone]

You have so much skill and forethought! The whole measuring demonstration part was so well thought out. Impressed and subscribed

You probably get far better sound proofing with those solid walls than we get with our drywall in the US. I can hear every footstep in the house.. annoying.

[@DaMobzz]

@@dankdubb I rent an old house that was built in 1910 so i can hear my neighbor. But houses from 1960 and up have really good soundproofing here

[@PWingert1966]

Nie setup and clear instructions. In my case I am in an apartment. One wall is drywall laminated to the concrete wall and the other wall has aluminum studs. I was going to mount onto the wall with the aluminum with 200lb rated toggle bolts but found out the studs are not rated for 130lbs which is what I figure three curved monitors would max out at fully extended from the wall. I rented a circular hammer drill and drilled holes for metallic 1" anchors for Each bracket since I didn't think 3/4" plywood would hold their weight. It took me about an hour for all the anchors for each of my three brackets. A total of 12 holes since my brackets had four holes each and a double arm setup rather than the single you were using. God help who ever must renovate this place after I move. I tried to recess the anchors below the drywall so they could just patch over them in the future.

[@raguellagrande7344]

pro tip for aspiring setups in europe - you can easily create a framed wall with a few wall studs and any cover you prefer (doesn't have to be drywall, but drywall is fire retardant)- and even use it for soundproofing. It may seem overboard but it is less work and issue than drilling through rock or concrete.

[@eclipsedbtc]

i would have left some space on the right of the desk to place the computer on the desk. that way it looks much cooler with clean rgb computer

[@ThatTechTeacher427]

Good idea. I am either going to wall mount the pc or hang it from the bottom of the desk to save space on the desk top. Its a shame to hide all this RGB lol

[@ernestgalvan9037]

Having the computer itself on the desk seems to go counter to the whole “OCD-inspired clean-desk look”. Or am I missing something? Of course, there’s also the fact that I’ve never been a fan of all that RGB “bling-bling” on or in a computer. I admire the work and artistic endeavor, but it’s not for me... kinda like strawberry jam. And, I’ve ALWAYS preferred the CPU/case to live on the floor; desk-top space is too valuable to waste on a non-storage box. On my “experiment/test” rig that I use to test CPU, RAM, drives, boards, etc, I DO have LED strips surrounding the inside edge so I get plenty of light. That’s to let me see well.

[@maurice7017]

you have hollow walls? where do you live? ive only ever seen houses with either solid concrete walls or brick walls with isolation over it

[@SabentHD]

General housing in north America is wood framing with insulation and drywall and some brick here and there. Commercial/industrial (apartments, hospitals, school, office and wear houses) buildings will be mostly steal frame which then means behind that is concrete slabs unless they didn't feel the need to insulate the walls (usually ware houses and stair cases). However some apartments may end up being wood finish, I believe it's something about 2 or 3 floors max with wood frame?

[@TheStereoField]

I really like the idea of using a single board to attach the mounts. I’m going to steal that for sure!

Thanks I was looking for one arm to hold all three monitors but the board to keep everything in line was the next best thing.

Don’t know your skill set, dedication or budget but I built a false wall (non structure) in-front of a wall that had a 24” beam that I couldn’t pass cables through. Makes running cables insanely easy because I put the studs sideways giving me larger studs to mount onto as-well.
