After shipping total came out to to $34.04 for me. Not really that great when this is on Amazon if you have Prime: https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Adjustable-Articulating-Counterbalance-STAND-V001O/dp/B01NH0HTM5/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1543443934&sr=8-14&keywords=monitor+arm

Honestly, I forgot my reasoning on that decision. It might have been something with Prime shipping or another thing along those lines. If I did it again, I would get a dual, I suppose.
It was a little sacrilege, but they are just regular monitor arms. I used 25MM M4 hardware with holes drilled into the back of the speakers to use the VESA mounts. The arms hold 15 lbs (Q150s are 12), but the main issue it the actual monitor mount knuckle has to be super tight to keep the speaker horizontal since the speaker weight is so far forward. We'll see how it holds, but they sound so much better up off the little stands they were on before.
In that situation I would recommend single monitor arm mounts for each monitor. I just bought VIVO monitor arms on amazon and i bought one for each monitor so that I wouldn't have issues with the weights. Gives you a lot of flexibility for adjusting them to align up perfectly too. Or you could get a dual arm mount, and then a single mount for the 3rd monitor.
The one I have is a Loctek heavy duty mount, but looking for a single monitor mount I don't see any for under $100. You can check Amazon for single monitor mount and sort by reviews, I heard vivo is a good brand and that arm is well reviewed, articulating, and not too expensive.
It’s just a cheap one from Amazon. I must say the build quality is pretty good. Nothing really to complain about and it’s nearly all metal, except the cable covers.

You can get one of the below and mount to your desk/table.
I have the 2 arm one and have my X34P and an older 27" 1440P monitor on the other arm.
Thanks! I worked hard for it to be clean haha. It's actually not as clean as I want but the dark hid a lot of the ugly stuff.
thank you! yes, it is nice to have it in arm's reach and up top. also, it takes almost no space. my next build will be something like the DanA4.
i highly suggest the hydraulic arm for your monitor though. saves SO much deskspace. only $30 on Amazon.

Thanks, Unfortunately I can't help you with the 34' in ultrawide arm since mint is attached to my 29'. I only got it today so I'll see how it holds up but it seems pretty sturdy. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NH0HTM5/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks. And here:

I think he has the same one as mine which is this Vivo mount on Amazon
I know you said they're overkill, but I use these and are quite pleased with them. I've got two holding 27"s
I'm using an older BenQ 1080p60 monitor for my main games monitor on the left, the middle vertical screen is a random old Acer monitor I've had kicking around awhile.
The BenQ isn't overly fancy, but it wasn't terribly expensive and has fast response times so there's no added latency for my games.
I have both monitors and the t480 mounted using these inexpensive Vivo monitor arms and the laptop is being held in an accompanying Vivo VESA mount laptop tray. These I can heartily recommend, they're a little finicky to get set up and cable managed, but they do wonders for letting me place each screen at the exact position/height that I want it.
Best of luck putting together your setup :)
Cheers, ~M
Aww, thank you. Here is the stand, but remember they have dual versions, and I believe this won't work for larger than 27". They have a bigger guy for those.

Make sure it's a IPS if you plan on portrait mode.

The two side monitors are held up with these: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01NH0HTM5/
I've been using this one for my monitor.
2 of these: https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Adjustable-Articulating-Counterbalance-STAND-V001O/dp/B01NH0HTM5/

Screen up top is okayish, I'd call it the least objectional option. If I didn't have the lap top I might put it to the right of center
Yes it is such a beautiful case!
This is the monitor arm
What he has is a gas actuated one like this
Some mounts include the components to drill a hole through the desk and secure it on the other side, not sure if that would be an option for you.
edit: an example i found " https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Adjustable-Articulating-Counterbalance-STAND-V001O/dp/B01NH0HTM5?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_10"
It's been a few years since getting them so I can't find the exact ones on amazon anymore. They were basically the white version of NB's singular hydraulic monitor arms, something similar to this: https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Adjustable-Articulating-Counterbalance-STAND-V001O/dp/B01NH0HTM5/ref=sr_1_8?keywords=nb+monitor+arm+white&qid=1581875432&sr=8-8
Oh, sorry for that, i've just didn't read question properly. Stand are 2 but they're same. Link down below. And you can't see both of them, because of the angle, but yeah, second monitor has it's arm too. https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Adjustable-Articulating-Counterbalance-STAND-V001O/dp/B01NH0HTM5/ref=sr_1_45?crid=3E03KAEI5T5DW&keywords=vesa+monitor+stand&qid=1547928582&sprefix=vesa+monito%2Caps%2C240&sr=8-45
I actually ended up going with these yesterday.
I know it has that mount, but I want to save my desktop space, so I’m going to buy something like this
