[Project] triple-screen mount - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net. I finally got sick of how much desk space was being taken up by my monitor stands.

So walking through Home Depot this week, i decided to make a mount for all of them. This was after looking online and seeing that they cost around $300... So here's how I did it: Parts: 1/2" x 12 pipe x 2 @ 3.31 = 6.62 1/2" x 10 pipe x 3 @ 2.90 = 8.70 1/2" 45 degree elbow x 2 @ 1.53 = 3.06 1/2" tee x 1 @ 1.26 = 1.26 1/2" flange x 1 @ 6.60 = 6.60 1/2" straps x 1 pk @ 1.31 = 1.31 M4 x 200 machine screws x 4 (3/pk) @ 0.79 = 3.16 10-28 x 3/4" machine screws x 1 (8/pk) @ 0.98 = 0.98 10-28 x 1" machine screws x 1 (8/pk) @ 0.98 = 0.98 1/4" - 20 x 1-1/2" machine screws x 1 (4/pk) @ 0.98 = 0.98 2' x 4' sheet of MDF x 1 @ 3.96 = 3.96 for a grand total of: $37.61! And the process: First, I fit together all the pieces of piping. Next, I cut the backpieces for the 3 monitors, and a mounting plate for the whole assembly And here's the three backplates and the mounting plate.

Ignore the extra holes. And the 22" And it works! Binary marble adding machine. Way back when I built my Marble Machine one , I incorporated a few logic-like elements in it, including several divide by two mechanisms, as well as a complicated and slightly unreliable divide by 6 mechanism.

It had occurred to me that perhaps with an insane amount of perseverance, it might be possible to build a whole computer that runs on marbles. But my second marble machine was much less based on logic - it was more about just making lots of cool noises. But then I had an idea as to how the divide by two mechanisms from my first marble machine could be cascaded together to function as a sort of adder register or counter. Once I had that idea, I knew I had to try it. A few months later, I spent a couple of days in my workshop and built this binary marble adding machine. The core of the invention is a modification of the divide by two flipflop to retain the marble that falls off the right side and keep it until the flipflop is flipped to the left by the next marble.

Adventure Hook Random Generator. Ever find yourself stuck for an adventure idea right up to the time your players arrive for the game? Our Adventure Hook Random Generator gives you Dungeon Masters a starting point from which you can develop a new adventure. This handy program uses a number of preset variables to develop an adventure hook or starting idea for you. Below are three different categories that, depending on the style of your game, provide starting points from which you can develop a D&D game session. You may need to adjust the wording of the result slightly to use it as a springboard to open your adventure.

For instance, you might want to add place names indigenous to your campaign world, replace the generic titles with specifics, or introduce names of NPCs the player characters either have already met or know of by reputation. Remember -- this is a random generation program.
