Great idea! Good community bonding. I didn't participate because I was in the middle of setting up a house. Yes, I would like to see something like this again!

I have three 32" monitors and two smaller ones.
I am running out of space.
I'd like to have six 32" monitors and remove the smaller ones.
Perhaps I should get another table.

Hey Ozquant - apologies for digging this up from a while ago but I had a quick question - what mounts do you use to keep your screens together like that? I ask because some of the monitor stands I have used in the past meant that my monitors were not lined up. Call me picky but I like my setup like yours i.e. all monitors together and aligned
