Got 3 BenQ XL2420T and it currently looks like this on my desk:

So one problem is that those 2 stands left and right take up like all the space I have, not even my mousepad fits. I can't push them back any further as my desk has a "wall" at the end.

The other problem is, if I'd buy that XFX Triple Stand thingy I'd had plenty of space for all the mousepads in the world. But my keyboard wouldn't fit anymore. Well, it would fit barely but I couldn't rest my hands anywhere.
Didn't find any alternatives though. It's already hard enough to find a stand for 24" monitors.

I'm hanging around in germany which is probably important too.

You have the WSGF edition, which is among the best triple stands you can get. On that, you can remove the heavy plate on the foot and mount it on the desk itself:

without baseplate, mounted directly on the desk:

The base of any of the Ergotech HD stands is about 18" square. The through-desk is a user mod, and I don't sell anything for that. You can also wall mount it, and I plan to be selling a pole and mounting hardware for wall mounting.

I don't really want to pay $125 shipping though. Those things are already expensive enough.
Also I don't see how that's supposed to be stable. I take the stand out of the box, install it, remove the base and then magic happens? The page doesn't say anything about special parts for mounting it through a hole drilled in the desk or something.


The only wall I have is to the left. Would that really work with a distance of over 1 meter between the middle of the center screen and the wall?
Ignoring that it sounds like $125 shipping again.

Its a custom mod, I forgot to mention that you can read about it in the posts underneath the WSGF stand page from the user Cinnabuns. You need to drill holes in the desk and attach screws (that don't come with the kit) through it. For reinforcement, you can use a baseplate underneath.

Other alternatives you can consider, is roofmounts if its feasable at your place, or you can simply cut a piece from the backplate of your desk, so you are able to move the stand a bit further back. That way, you could be able to use the XFX stand as well.

I'm trying to think a bit "out of the box" for you, to accomodate your needs.

I thought about sawing my desk to be able to move it further back. But I'd need to move it back quite a lot. I'd end up with a distance of 1 meter between me and the monitors (I'm currently at 70 cm). Makes it hard to read small fonts. It also dampens the surround feeling.

I think that XFX stand is simply just way too large.

That desk mod sounds interesting but that stand isn't available here and importing it would make it ridiculously expensive. Roughly $600 with customs duty and shipping.

Guess it'll just stay like this.

The XFX stand is made by Ergotech, so it's the same mounting technology. Just a different base.
