Dual Monitor Wall Mount

Dual Monitor Wall Mount

I wanted a nice way to mount my dual monitor setup on the wall. My monitors are over 5 years old and don't have nice wall mounting abilities. However they do have perfect little slits in the base that will allow me to hook them to the wall.

Materials:
Piece of wood to mount your monitors to
Two hooks
Drywall Anchors

Tools:
Drill
Hammer

The materials cost a little under $15 at Lowe's.

It'd be even cooler if you had something more interesting to mount your monitors onto.

Lay your board on the floor and set your monitors on it. Then position them where you want them mounted. Mark their positions. I laid the hooks on top of the monitor base to get an idea of where I wanted the hooks.

Well, I might as well try this with my old monitor... wouldn't try it with anything over 15 inches though...
