Found out my local timber yard had a large amount of hardwood shelves on must go away sale from the same manufacturer where I bought my desktop.
So I began building a 3-monitor stand for my 3 Dell U2713hm that would match my desk top.
First I measured the distance from my eyes to the center monitor and found out the approx angle of 45° would mean looking at the side monitors at an 90° angle. Then I measured the relevant dimension of the monitor and the wooden boards and sketched the whole thing to find out where I should cut to have everything nicely centered.
The dark blue is the outline of the monitors and their base, the light blue is the boards and the red lines is where I needed to saw and then glue the ends together
Just need finishing the legs

Loveing the wood how comes you haven't wall mounted the dells
Because the desk is height adjustable and I often switch between sitting and standing, so it would be impractical to have them wall mounted.

It's a very cool desk bond villain Desk
It's one of these and I just drilled holes through the plastic wings at the ends (they're just there to wind the cord around) and screwed them to the desk.
The final touch, 3 strips of IKEA led lights up under the monitor mount towards the back

Nice! Every update you post just makes it look even better!
My cheap plastic wood desk now seems really inadequate
