I’ve been looking for a way to mount speakers to my standing workspace. The biggest challenge was that one of my monitors extended beyond my desk quite a bit, so nothing to set the speaker on. Good speaker arms are expensive and clunky. Settled on 3/4" black pipe + flanges from Home Depot and some scrap wood from the shop.
The result is very sturdy and much better than anything I could have purchased, reasonable cost, and quick to build. Sometimes it pays to do something custom – it is often less messing around, and much better long term.
Those vertical monitors must be nice for text and source code editing. Won’t work for CAD though as everything in that world is in landscape format, at least for PCB work.
In the “what’s old is new, what’s new is old” department I’m now seeing videos (well, at least my wife is watching them) in vertical format for viewing on smart phones. The very first videos made back in the late 1920’s were in vertical format due to the technology used. Horizontal resolution was only 19 lines but vertical resolution was over 100. Later, when electronic (CRT) displays were developed they adopted the 4:3 aspect ratio of 35mm motion picture film. We tend to view the world around us in “landscape” mode, as your 3 vertical monitors are arranged, heh…
