Right? Floor space is at an all-time premium with high housing costs. And most people I know have a stack of books/etc. to rise the monitor anyway.

- tpmx 4y agoHaving a ~140 mm tall desktop case under the monitor doesn't work that well with today's pretty large monitors - it would result in uncomfortable viewing angles. Add to that the often very wide monitor stands. And increased cooling noise because the case comes closer to your ears.
- mtsr 4y agoCurrent monitors can be raised on their stand, maybe future monitors could be lowered in front of whatever they’re on top of?
- Nevermark 4y agoMy 98 inch “monitor” is mounted on the wall Great for demoing things, or looking at while I walk in think circles. Keeps my desk clear, and I don’t need reading glasses to see it And yes, the bottom is mounted well below my desk’s surface height
- naasking 4y agoMount the computer on the back of the screen.
- tpmx 4y agoYou'd need counterweights in the front. :-)
- naasking 4y agoOr the case designed for mounting comes with extendable legs to support the weight. Or the monitor is designed on some kind of lever system that can be set to balance. Lots of options.
- tpmx 4y agoI kind of like your first idea. The motherboard would be vertically mounted, and then have 90 degree PCIe risers that are structurally reinforced somehow, so that the heavy GPU can also be mounted vertically. You could have 2 of them, one for the GPU and one for additional cards. The whole thing would be mounted via the VESA screw holes on the monitor. Would probably mostly work for people with quite large monitors though. 40+ inch 4k monitors rock! ... or we just stick with tower cases and some kind of structural reinforcements for the heavy GPU.
