The spirit of ConcernedApe’s longtime workstation approves

It's not stupid if it works... Then I saw the monitor just sitting on a box, lol.

I had a "wall mounted" monitor where the wall mount was it hanging off a screw in the wall via a loop of fishing line I found on the beach. It hung like that happily for five years until I sold the apartment.

EDIT: It held the monitor up by weaving the fishing line loop through the plastic vent grill in the back of the monitor.

I love it

Hey if it works it works.

This problem is perfect for 3D printing. Just measure the mounting hole locations and print out a simple stand. Use something that isn't PLA as the material though due to its tendency to warp when heat is applied under a physical load.

I don't have anything to complain about here. I love the way you have the laptop on a shelf.

If you are concerned about the portable monitor mount, you could add a tablet arm mount that clamps to the desk. I'm guessing you are comfortable with it, but there are options if you are looking.

To be frank, I’ll never get the appeal of turning your laptop into a desktop/monitor. Just hook it up to actual monitor…

Nice ducky!

Hey, that's the same keyboard I have, or at least had until recently.
