    ok, so heres the deal.
    i move my monitor from its normal possition in front of me to the left edge of my desk at a 90 degree angle, but its a pain to keep lifting it up and im scared im gonna drop it at some point. does anyone know of a monitor stand that has wheels or that will slide easily?
    i saw some round laptop feet a while ago that allowed you to glide your laptop across your desk with minimal friction but i dunno if that would work on a monitor.
    anyone know of a monitor stand that would allow me to tilt the screen down a bit more as well? the other idea i had was one of those monitor arms that screw into the back of the monitor and suspend it, but im guessing they arent cheap.


    happy weekend. cheers!

    Best would be some sort of swing-arm holder for a desk.

    cheers ...

    hmm, i thought about that but it doesnt seem like im gonna be able to find one with a long enough reach. wheels is looking better, but i need some way to fix it to the stand and allow it to tilt forward without falling over. gonna be a problem.

    too expensive though. i want something for £30 or less. those arms cost a fortune! there must be something with wheels for cheaper.

    wow im drunk. took me far to long to type this.
