You need about another foot on that desk and one of these.

That's why I am moving the PC beneath the desk... But seriously I wouldn't sacrifice my vertical monitor.

My PC needs to go under the desk, as my monitors don't quite fit.

I want to get one of the supports that mounts to the desk suspending your PC beneath as my desk is a sit/stand desk and while I don't stand a lot... I don't want to rip out all the cables when I do.

This is my office at work for those following along at home.

Why not wall mount the monitors?   Streamer I follow did this when they set up a movable desk and it worked out great.

I have an undermount for my PC. It's nice, seems to keep it less dusty. I have my monitors, including a vertical, on articulating arms. My 32" monitor is a bit too big for the arms I bought, so the vertical just barely fits on the end with no remaining range of motion. When I had smaller monitors the arms worked great, so just make sure to get a big enough set.

Can someone explain to me what the dual monitors is all about? Like does it simulate a giant looooong screen or is it basically having multiple tabs open but you can see it all at once?

Typically, it's used to have two windows open and visible at once. Like, PW on one monitor, work on the other. It's possible to make the window span both monitors but then it it has the bezel right in the middle and that's dumb.

I'm a programmer so I typically have multiple editors open at once and having them on separate monitors makes it easier to switch back and forth.

Quite frankly, for the home user that system that iNCY has is over kill, even for gaming.

The duel screens is to increase productivity, as it's easy to glance across, rather than alt-tab between programs/pages. It certainly is, and even though I'm exclusively a laptop user these days, I can't imagine doing extensive amounts of work on it without at least a second monitor to break it up.

One monitor is for your content playback to, another for your streaming controls and the vertical one is to see the chat of the livestream audience.  Small one acts as a touch monitor to trigger your special effects.  Incy clearly is an cam girl now.

He's going live playing Fornite at 10pm, but I'm really just tuning in for the skin.

It is a plaster wall, not brick or cement and because it is a sit stand desk, I want something that will raise and lower with it

Yes, I use the center monitor for my main work, on the vertical monitor I have my Todo list and calendar open, unless I am using the monitor to proof an document, it is nice being able to see the whole page in proportion.

The left hand monitor is mostly for when I am sharing my screen.
The problem with widescreen monitors is that when you share your screen, the other person gets a letter box and it is hard to see.
I also use the left hand screen to have my email open while I am working.
I have found good productivity in not minimising the task you are supposed to be working on in the main window.

Nothing wrong with a Plan B

I didn't think my PC was all that bleeding edge, but it looks like it is going to be a mission to get the RAM to run at the right speed.
When I enable the smart RAM DOCP in the Bios it gives me a yellow RAM light that never goes out.
Looks like 4 x Sticks of AM5 is not easy to do... Maybe I didn't let it sit long enough to do memory training.

Should have spanked it more
