Right...so ive combined 3x24" into one big screen (as ive mentioned before) using eyefinity. But now ive got a 17" lcd which I want above the middle monitor as an extended screen. Ive tested it with the 17" to my right (just to see how smooth it runs playing a movie on it while I play games in fullscreen spanned over the other three) and it works great.

Now to my problem. There arent any good way to get it above the middle screen. I dont wanna buy expensive stuff just to attach it to the wall. So does anyone have ideas on how to build a something for my 4 screens? Ive got every tool i would ever need avaible since im a sheet-metal crafter and got contacts with pretty much every kind of crafter you can imagine Smile

shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.

You answered your own question. Draw out some sketches and start building. Either that or buy something that mounts it to the wall. Or you could go ghetto and hang it from the ceiling.

Don't you think 3 big ass monitors are enough? Laughing

Does it have VESA mounting holes? If so, a VESA compatible mount is relatively easy to construct, if you know how to work with metal

Well, thats my trade mate Razz I work with metal! Crafting!

I could take a lil plate and make some holes for the screws I guess

A VESA mount isn't much more than that, it's just that the better ones come with free rotating arms and shit Smile

Hmm...actually, once you put it that way - I realized how little I really have to do Razz
A small plat would do wonders Razz

I could make one with rotating arms and stuff - but it would take me too much time. I'd rather just get it up and running straight away Smile
