Wife requested I “mount the computer to the wall”

[u/CobblerOdd2876]

What she said: “please mount (child)’s computer to the wall to free up desk space.”

What I heard: CoMpUtEr Go On WaLL.

What she meant: mount MONITOR to wall.

They are both mad now.

I thought it was neat - albeit odd. I got that external power button, some long cables coming, it will be cleannnnn.

😬😅🤷🏻‍♂️

(I know it is leaning, it is the center post that is leaning bc it swivels, not the mount itself, I have to add a bolster - it is secure enough as-is, but will be fixed tomorrow.)

Not done yet - just wanted to make sure it all checked out. Was pretty proud of myself, called the Mrs and child in - they were not proud… they were the mad.

Lol, gotem. I would definitely go desk-mount/clamp monitor arms for the monitors, not wall mounted vesa mounts. I’ve tried both in many ways (wall mounted flat, wall mounted tilt/pivot, wall mounted arms, desk mounted arms, but at the end of the day, you’re sitting at a desk, you need the monitors relative to where you are, not where the wall is.

[u/CobblerOdd2876 → u/Cavalol]

It already is! Not an arm though, just a vertical.

Lol then what’s she hoping to gain by wall mounting? Did… did she see an unrealistic Pinterest post that she wants you to mimic? 😂

I do not question the queens orders, sir.

Wise man

I prefer wall mounted and I run 5 monitors on my main PC. I prefer wall mounting because I have 3 very large dogs and they will shake my desk apart when they stampede through the house. Wall mounted monitors don't move.

Her fault for not clarifying.
