Dedicated Case Stand?

[EpIckFa1LJoN]

So my wife and I are finally buying our first house and I get a dedicated office!!

Up until recently I have been crammed into our spare bedroom in our apartment and because of my multi monitor setup (Acer Predator X34 Ultrawide 34" and a Acer G257HU 25") my desk space is taken up and my beautiful build is just out of sight behind one of the monitors. All I can see is its soft blue glow.

However, now that I am getting my own space I want to see my build in all its glory.

So are there any good dedicated stands that would keep it about eye level sitting at a desk or would like a small coffee table do the trick?

The main goal is really so I can look at it, so it can't go on the desk as the Acer pretty much takes up the entirety of my desk and I don't really have the money for a bigger desk (like I said we are buying a house)

Just looking for something sturdy that will let me look at my PC and possibly be big enough to work on it when I need to. (Case is a Corsair 750D)

I put my case on a bedroom side table (nightstand) next to my desk (PCPer link pics aren't updated) and it works pretty well as it's just about level with my desk. It's also on wheels which makes moving it to work on it easy.

That's a great idea.

Yeah I think being even with my desk would be a massive benefit too. Like extending the desk a little. I love it.

When I get home I'll post some pic's but essentially the black table that has my monitor K/M is now flush against the wall and I placed the system on the nightstand on the left (for spacing/VR) and ended up using a wood TV tray on each side (far left/right) of those for my Oculus sensors & peripherals. Then my (cheap) speakers are placed under the monitor and bass is on the ground under the nightstand with my cables to keep it clean looking.

Let me ask another question... I have a three sided corner desk however, I think I am going to have the desk in the middle of the room. Instead of making the desk bigger (essentially) what about mounting my secondary monitor ABOVE my primary 21:9 monitor?

Doing that would free my desk up enough to see my case and then some.
The only problems I can think of would be the arm on a stand not being long enough.. the potential disaster should the other monitor somehow fall on my precious X34, and the hassle of having to look up with the secondary monitor, causing neck strain I guess.

OR. doing the same thing but on the other side of the desk and just have the secondary monitor floating over empty space??

What do you think the best solution would be?

I'll add a picture of my desk and monitor setup shortly.

And yes the keyboard is balancing between the two pullout sections of the desk 😀

I have yet to find a better solution for being able to recline in my gaming chair.

This is mine, kind of cheap but it works!

As far as yours I like the idea of mounting the second monitor above the X34 however yea that would be horrible if it fell. Is there a way to add in a nightstand or something similar on the left side of the X34 for your second monitor?

 

[EpIckFa1LJoN]

That is something I have thought about, but I like them being close. that's also a possibility. I think I want to upgrade the monitor to something with a vesa mount and get an arm, move the predator to the middle, keep the tower on my desk, and use the arm to hover the monitor next to the predator and slightly off the edge. I might try that out when I move maybe I won't need to upgrade the monitor for a while.

Currently its not an option since there is only one way to get in my chair and thats on the left side and with the monitor would be hanging off the edge a good 6 inches or so.

I am DEFINITELY going to try that out when I move though. I can play around with a few configurations. Thanks!

The vesa mount/arm sounds like a good idea if you have enough room on the side of the X34 however depending on how your sitting with your K/M layout you may need to strain too much to see it. The left side pullout, is there room underneath there for your legs? If so could you put both the K/M on that pullout, keep the X34 squared to you (directly in front of you), tower on the right hand side and then put the second monitor on the left?

If you have any carpentry skills, you could design and build a custom setup. This is one I built in my recording studio control room. Not the prettiest, but does the job.

And here is a wide shot of my control room, showing my everyday computer on the left (where the chair is facing).

That's a great idea too!

Unfortunately I wouldn't be happy with my own carpentry skills to keep anything I build 😀
