Try looking up monitor vesa adapters.
Here is one I found:
VESA Mount Adapter Bracket for Acer Monitors R240HY bidx (does not fit R240HY Abmidx), SB220Q, RT240Y, R221Q, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01771Q6U2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_isSjCbJKC8588
This may work depending on your model. Apparently there are two models of the one you have. One will fit and the other won’t. This is the general idea though.
There was a 27" model for this one? I thought it was limited to the 25" ones. Anyway, I just bought one too and I think these are what you're looking for

but I haven't tried it yet though. I think I'll get it if the default base doesn't stand well on my desk.
You can get vesa adapters for your monitors if you're looking to mount them.

I have two of these vesa mounted with these adapters. Love these monitors.

Do you mean the G257HU? If so, yes there is.
Uhhhh, I think it is not VESA mountable. ):
You would need something like this https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Bracket-Monitors-G227HQL-G247HYL/dp/B01771Q6U2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491765228&sr=8-1&keywords=acer+vesa+adapter+r240hy
That was a perfect answer man I love it! I was thinking about my heatsink but I didn't really put that much thought into it! I plan on stay 1440p 60hz for a good while at least until 4k becomes really affordable you know. The 1080 seemed right up my ally for a perfect 1440p card I was thinking I may just save up some money for it and go for it I've been thinking about that since it came out actually! Would you think a second monitor would be worth it though? I've been looking at these stands (http://shop.ergotechgroup.com/dual-monitor-horizontal-desk-stand/)
and since theres no visa mount on my monitor i've been looking at these too (https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Bracket-Monitors-G227HQL-G247HYL/dp/B01771Q6U2/ref=pd_sim_147_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=319deaMR3cL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&psc=1&refRID=P59GBKDCGRN950E3GJVR0)
as for the hard drive, I currently have my os on one, games between the other too and just other stuff through on the 1tb. here's my steam profile too im with you on that huge steam library (steamcommunity.com/id/mewe123/) would you recomend a second wd blue 1tb?
You have to get an adapter thingy https://www.amazon.com/VESA-Mount-Adapter-Bracket-Monitors/dp/B01771Q6U2?th=1
Hmmm... Maybe it's worth ordering the wrong one then... This is what mine looks like now.

I even had to rig the plastic spacer for the screw because the screw included with the base for the xg isn't threaded far enough down. I'd love to get one that replaces the whole neck instead.
You had to remove some of the plastic on the monitor, right? does the original stand then still work in case I sold the monitors and someone wanted to use the stand?
Is this the one you ordered?

I picked up https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01771Q6U2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and it just had to have a little metal shaved off in a couple areas.
Thanks for the link. This one is the one for my monitor. I don't have a mount now, but I might get one later.
Get these Vesa mount adapters for this monitor.
