Something like this will do. Again it's an added cost but frees you up to get any monitor you want.
Yea so I didn't use the stand that came with it, I use a Vesa Mount Stand because it will go up and down 18 inches and swivel 180 and 90° up and down, easy to mount/install 🤙🏽
VIVO Single 13 to 32 inch Monitor... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FE2BCR8?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Are you in a position to modify the desk? You can cut a hole in it and put a monitor arm mount through that. It's fairly common.
Or you can get one of these instead: https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Computer-Free-Standing-Adjustable-STAND-V001H/dp/B01FE2BCR8/
Something else.
VIVO Single 13 to 32 inch Monitor Desk Stand, Freestanding VESA Steel Mount Base, Adjustable Height, Tilt, Swivel, Rotation, Black STAND-V001H https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FE2BCR8/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_E4MVNE4BYRXCDPDMVC3N?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Just got a freestanding VIVO one (here) that works great (although obviously check the size/weight limits against yours). Works great so far, biggest downside is the base is quite large (but flat). I believe there’s also a dual monitor version
It's just "Part A" of the monitor stand. Unfortunately they're all proprietary and you'll need to contact the manufacturer of your monitor in order to get a replacement. That or ebay.
Alternately if you have VESA mounts on that monitor, you can get a universal mount like this:

Though for this price point I'd rather have an adjustable style gas arm.
Can't wall mount either. My desk backs up to a large window. Think something like this free - standing arm would work?
www.amazon.com/VIVO-Computer-Free-Standing-Adjustable-STAND!
Something like this should be what you're asking for. If it's too expensive/doesn't fit your needs, you can just look for "vesa 75 monitor arm/stand"
Yes I got this one!

I made sure it was the 100x100 kind!

CPU: This was probably the one part I had a bit of trouble deciding what to go with. Since I'm not familiar with what your workloads entail, I just went for the Ryzen 5 2600. It's the most powerful processor that fits the budget, and I doubt anything you do would require more that a 6 core 12 thread processor. Overkill, maybe, but it will last you a good long while Motherboard: The B450 Tomahawk is one of the best B450 boards, not a ton to explain here. RAM: Just a 16 GB kit of DDR4 3000 MHz RAM, nothing special SSD: The cheapest 1 TB SSD, somehow, even though it is a very good drive. It's on sale on newegg for 10% off, make sure to grab it now. GPU: It didn't sound like you were going to play any games that needed a ton of GPU power. Heck, even an RX 580 is probably overkill for you. Still, nearly any game can run at 1080p 60 FPS on it, so if you get a new game, you should be fine. Case: I know you didn't want anything too flashy, and while this case does have a side window and LED fans, it shouldn't pop out too much. Besides, having 2 fans preinstalled takes care of airflow for the components. PSU: Good, high-wattage PSU from a trusted brand with a 5 year warranty. Enough said. WiFi/BT card: This is the cheapest ac WiFi card that also has bluetooth, and it has good reviews. Should do fine Monitor: The cheapest 1080p 60FPS monitor with a VA or IPS panel and VESA mounting. (Also, here's a relatively cheap compatible VESA mount)
If your monitor has VESA mounting holes you can just grab a rotating mount. I'm happy with the one I bought.
Price of a Pawn, value of a Queen.

I use a $26 stand from Amazon and it works great. Choose your monitor based on the panel not the stand it ships with.
Keep in mind you can use any monitor you like as long as it has a VESA mount. You can add an aftermarket stand like this for greater customization.
https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Computer-Free-Standing-Adjustable-STAND-V001H/dp/B01FE2BCR8/
Search up free standing monitor stand.

Here's one for example, you can try looking for something cheaper
Does your PC monitor has VESA mount holes on the back?. If yes, then you can purchase a rotating stand for it (something like this) to rotate it by 90°. Use the program iRotate to quickly adjust your screen orientation (since the display obviously doesn't have a built-in accelerometer). It's an old piece of software, but it still works perfectly and even has keyboard shortcuts.
I can tell you from experience that this using a display like this absolutely fantastic for comic books.
https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Computer-Free-Standing-Adjustable-STAND-V001H/dp/B01FE2BCR8/
I’ve used this for a 24” tv. It has a heavy base and It’s rated for a 32 monitor so you should be ok.
You could get a cheap monitor that is VESA compatible and add this stand on top of it. Some assembly required, but it would give you adjustability.
>Or, you know, you just used the cables Apple provided, which they could be certain met the necessary safety standards, unlike some $1 cable that probably doesn't but who cares?
<laughs> You've got a lot of faith in a company that doesn't give a shit about you. Enough to spout nonsense you know nothing about, and called the bluff of the wrong person. The $1 cable I referred to is one I've bought many of, of various lengths, as I don't like messy cables. It's a C7, or C7P plug, and it, like C5 cables plugs, and virtually all other US lamps, largely use the same wire. So much so, it's called "lamp wire". It's a pair of 18awg cable. Now this is the part where your little indignance breaks down, and it's gonna involve numbers that aren't money, so stay with me. 18awg cable is capable of running 10 amps over 120v power, so long as it isn't over 50 feet. The Apple cable is required to provide enough to supply a Macbook with, at most, 85 watts of power. Watts are calculated by multiplying voltage by amperage. So the Apple cable is required to supply 85. My $1 cable you doubt so much is capable of supplying 1200.
Truth be told, the Apple cable is likely 18 as well, possibly 20awg, since they like making money. But at this point it's pretty clear you don't know what you're talking about, but are heavily, emotionally invested in your opinion, and may want to rethink your opinions on Apple and your discretionary income choices.
>Probably because quality and safety cost money, hence the USB power supplies from reputable brands, that won't burn your house down, aren't $1 from eBay.
As I've shown above: No. It's just cuz Apple likes overcharging people, and people who like Apple appear to like getting overcharged, then get very defensive when it's pointed out. I take safety very seriously--more so than I care to explain right now, and far more than you'd likely believe. The $1 cables aren't from Ebay, but they also weren't USB cables. Please try to follow along. USB has become a very convoluted standard that requires a great deal of research to ensure you're getting what you need. There are some dangerous cables out there, so you need to be aware of what you're getting. They're going to cost more than $1, but a 6ft cable isn't $30. That's just you buying an Apple executive another vacation home.
>You won't be buying the stand unless you're buying the monitor.
>
>This isn't for your "gaming rig", it's for people that have the budgets to pay for it, where time is money, and don't want to waste time finding a cheaper alternative.
<googles "VESA compliant monitor mount"> Oh look. I found a cheaper alternative. It only took me <looks at non-existent watch> 10 seconds. At $970 savings, I'm saving almost $350,000 an hour! Boy, that certainly isn't worth "wasting time to find a cheaper alternative." Yeah, if I'm a business with a budget, it's certainly much better to just spend an extra $1,000 for every single one of these monitors we buy. That money clearly couldn't be better spent somewhere else.
But wait! There's more! True to Apple's philosophy of proprietary bullshit I explained earlier, they've made certain their monitor is not VESA compliant. Why, you ask? I'll tell you! This way if people come to their senses (as many have over this) and decide they don't want to pay Apple $1,000 for a ridiculously overpriced stand, they'll instead still be forced to pay Apple $200 for the adapter to that makes the monitor VESA compliant! Either way you go, Apple screws you over! :D
Noticing a pattern?
Oh, and their justification for this bullshit? It pivots between landscape and portrait, and has a magnet so you can disconnect it and take it with you. Now, the $30 option I showed also spins 360 degrees, so I guess they had to up their game to justify this nonsense by adding another feature that seems more like a solution looking for a problem than an innovation. I don't know why anyone needs to quickly disconnect and travel with a monitor that's the size of a small TV--it's not exactly convenient to transport something like that, but I give them points for the sheer audacity of suggesting this level of shit to justify another "innovation" they could use to rip people off even more. Bonus: If they encourage people to carry around a $5,000 monitor, there's a chance it'll get as destroyed just like an iPhone, requiring them to buy another!
Again, noticing a pattern?
Give if a month or so. Someone'll sell a better version of their VESA mount adapter for $50 on Amazon.
>By whinging about the cost of something you aren't required to buy. You don't even need to buy it even to use that monitor, you could of course find your own stand if you're willing to put in the time.
Ah, apparently you weren't aware of the $200 Sucker Tax. :) Yeah, the whole "Oh, but you're not required to buy it! We're doing you a favor!" line falls apart when everyone just realizes even Apple didn't think they could get away with charging an extra $1000 for the monitor by forcing people to buy the stand as well. That make it nearly double the cost of Dell's version, and they wanted to stay under Eizo and Sony. So, instead, it's a $5200 monitor, minimum. They're just milking the intended demographic, hoping they'll shell out more for overpriced nonsense because they're settling for the Apple XDR instead of getting a far more expensive reference monitor, but anyone in that same market is also going to look at others making similar products, so they still have to stay competitive. Brass tacks? You're the one who mentioned the monitor--I don't care about it. I said the stand is bullshit, because the ability to pivot, rotate and "easily disconnect" a 32" display does not justify a $1000 cost. Nor does a simple adapter for VESA compliance justify a $200 cost.
>I say this as someone who literally yesterday had to spend time filing down my new "VESA desk mount" to fit my expensive monitor
I'm hoping you're not saying it would be wiser to spend 1,000 USD than to spend a few minutes filing down a monitor mount. I'll stick with my middle-ground of buying VESA mounts that meet the typical 75 or 100mm standard, as I've never had any issues with them. It sounds like you got a low quality VESA mount, but the wonderful thing about standards is that you can measure both the monitor and the mount, and see who actually screwed up!
I actually bought the vesa xdr converter along with the vesa stand below, but it requires an allen wrench if you want to change the height or tilt. I was hoping to find something like the dell monitor stands that move smoothly and stay in the position you put it in.

I'm using Vivo's tall poll stand with my Nixeus EDG34
Nixeus also has a stand of it's own which works with Ultrawides here
Does it have VESA mounts, or can you adapt one?
I haven't used this particular product, but I've been tempted to buy it for my AOC portable monitor: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FE2BCR8/ref=twister_B086R3GRWY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
This is fairly inexpensive and has worked very well for me.
https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Computer-Free-Standing-Adjustable-STAND-V001H/dp/B01FE2BCR8
No, I don't think anyone has asked. I can't find it in my Amazon orders, but it's very similar to this one:
Very basic but the critical factor was that it let me lower the monitor almost down to the desk. It is, however, not recommended for a monitor this size and if the monitor were any higher it would be dangerously top-heavy.
One tip to pass along. The first stand I bought, the top of the vertical pole stuck above the top edge of the monitor and I found that annoying. Especially if you're going to stack your monitors, that might be a factor to take into consideration.
Good luck!
You can always just put this stand on the Alienware monitor. I use this one on the Alienware and it’s been great for RB6 and Overwatch.
As I said before, a VESA monitor stand is still an option if you're interested:
