I have a small desk in my kitchen where I want to setup a desktop computer. I have a Dell U2720Q, which I would like to use. ( Link to Monitor Manual) My plan was to use a tandem VESA mount and attach a mini PC; probably something by BeeLink ( Link) I planned on simply zip-tying up the various cords and cables to make a relatively clean presentation.

Here's the problem: I can't find a tandem VESA mount that will work with Dell's recessed, tool-less mounts. Any thoughts or recommendations are appreciated. I'm also open to recommendations on computers. I don't want to go the Mac route, I already have the monitor, and I'd like to keep the cost on this contained. The computer will be used for web-browsing, music streaming, homework, wireless printing, and perhaps basic Office/productivity software such as Word, Excel, or Acrobat. Thanks and Happy Easter

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but why do you need a mount for the PC? Velcro it to the back of the monitor or something. I have a beelink. It weighs nothing.

If you search “Velcro cable ties” on Amazon, you’ll find lots of products that are as good at managing cables but reusable/adjustable and don’t require scissors or damage the cables when pulled too tight


But would This Not work if you bought spacers/washers for the monitor?
