The title says it all!
I'm having troubles finding a PC monitor arm mount for a top & bottom dual pc setup.
I don't suppose anyone here happens to have a top & bottom dual monitor setup that could point me in the right direction?
The monitor mount would have to go high enough for the bottom of my (top) monitor to reach 58cm from the desk.
Any input regarding this would be much appreciated!!

What kind of desk are you looking to mount it to?

What are your aesthetic needs? Is this a nice office where you want an elegant solution, or is mere functionality enough?

Have a look at this one and see if it's what you need.

Vertical Mounting Dual LCD Stand Desktop Clamp

This. But I'm trying to find one that's able to adjust in distance as well as height as well.
My 1st monitor doesn't have to mounted either, it's fine the way it is but I must have a mount for my 2nd monitor that's able to go high enough for it to be on top of the 1st, from the desk to the bottom of my 2nd monitor, 58cm. And this is taking into account how high my 1st monitor is currently.
So if I can find a monitor mount arm that could get the bottom of my 2nd monitor as high as 58cm as well as being distance adjustable I'll be happy.


@profdlp And as for aesthetic needs I'd assume you're talking about the mount arm that'll be holding my monitors? If so then I suppose I'd like for them to look good if possible.

I really like the one Havoc linked to. Already bookmarked it for if and when I go the vertical route. I agree that picking a mount to fit the monitors you need is not as simple a thing as picking monitors to fit the mount you already have.

...@profdlp And as for aesthetic needs I'd assume you're talking about the mount arm that'll be holding my monitors? If so then I suppose I'd like for them to look good if possible.
The reason I asked is that I have seen some really incredible monitor mounting systems using electrical C-Channel:

C Channel, Al Adab Electrical

You assemble a frame to suit your needs (think tinkertoys), then use wall-mount monitor arms which you can mount at your choice of heights due to the many holes in the C-Channel. They look good if you have the desk against the wall and the front is covered by the monitors, but might not be so great in an office setting where looks matter.

I've seen them built out of conduit, steel pipe, etc. You might do an image search for "Home built multi monitor stands" to see if any of those ideas are feasible.

I'm not too sure if this is a desk clamp or on a freestand but basically this, http://i.imgur.com/01FZj29.jpg
Some dual setups like this that I've seen always have the bottom monitor pretty much touching the desk which I don't want.
I want the bottom monitor at normal height whilst having the top monitor being above it, so really I'd describe my ideal setup as as a front & top dual monitor setup rather than top & bottom.
The picture I linked is pretty much what I want, IF I could find a mounting arm that's able to move freely as opposed to the rigid straight pole that would be perfect, but honestly I wouldn't be opposed to getting the pole either.

That's why I went with a mount from easymountlcd.com
They are cheap but very good quality. It's the first brand I recommend.
