What brand is it? Maybe a link to manufaturer or disturbutor.

I need to change monitor stands.
My current 6 (3X2 ) monitor stand can't handle monitors larger then 19".
I been moving to 24" widescreen and need a new stand.
Currently I am just using 3 but I really want to go back to the 6 monitor configuration I was using.
So I need a 6 montior that can handle bigger monitors, any pointers would be handy.
I'm actually cheating hehe. Ok, the top three are on a Ergotron DS100 (part no 33-323-200) ; its discontinued but you can still find them around. The manufacturer link is here; its actually the stand Xzin recommended in his guide way back when. Its not modified; I designed the 'cat walk' as a thin board with 4 posts that were cut to fit behind the monitors, there are holes in the posts that let them bolt to the Ergotron arm. (That might not be obvious from the screenshots.) I did buy a new extra tall peice of metal so I could raise the arm high enough for the three bottom monitors to fit under it on their desk stands. Its serviceable. Rather, having 3 monitors on my desk is servicable, if I had two Erogtron arms I'd be happy. I just cant justify the price tag of another arm though.

I am thinking of building a hex(2x3)-mount. Or maybe even a deca(2x5)?-mount. Both are terribly expensive to buy, but should be cheaper to build. Found a few DIYs on the web. One for a dual-monitor horizontal, and one for a dual-monitor vertical. I also found 3 for triple monitor mounts. This guy who was apparently inspired by this guy and this other guy. One of those guys went on to do a wall mount, which looks nicer but doesn't work for me. None of them are quite a hex mount though. I'm thinking of trying to use electrical conduit (the rigid metal variety), since I can bend it at custom angles, as opposed to using fittings that only come in 45s. (If there is one thing I don't like about their DIY's, its the 45 degree angle.) If I do it I'll be sure to post about it, one way or another. The DIY route certainly seems cheaper. Still very much in the theoretical project category, lol. Possibly to be indefinitely delayed.
