The metal on the mount finally gave way to gravity this month (Dec 2011), and it came crashing down. My advice to everyone is to check the weight capacity of your mounting hardware. The iMac is a heavy computer, and the joints of the mounting hardware will wear and weaken over time.

They provide a VESA mount adapter bracket that attaches to the stand (the next best thing), and the iMac can then be attached to a VESA compliant mount. I personally prefer the stand remains on as it allows me to quickly remove the iMac from the arm and place it elsewhere. I also take my iMac with me in my RV and moving it from my desk mount arm to the arm I mounted in the RV is quick and easy!

The top edge of ones display should be at about eye hight. The eye hight one is most likely to be at while using it. So unless he's planning to stand allot, that's going to lead to neck and eye strain. I suppose the other option is to sit in some sort of sling chair that sets your whole back/neck/eye angle to naturally point up that way. The real pro to VESA mounting is making things harder to steal. Properly mounted and secured of course. Well, the lower one is certainly more ergonomic.

You can find out if yours is removable by looking at the manual, or by looking on iFixit's site. For those that don't have the removable base, imacmount.com has one that will retrofit your mac. The main thing to know though - is that you will also need a monitor arm which is capable of supporting the weight of the mac (over 20lbs), and/or a wall mount which is capable of supporting the weight. ergonomicbusinesssolutions.com is a great place to get information on which arms will support the weight as well as ergotron.com. I used to work in the ergonomic industry and can verify that having the right mount will make all the difference in the world. :) While this mount will work with the newer Macs, it is important to know that the base is not removable on some of the older iMacs such as the Mid-’06, Mid-’07 series.

Going to grab me one of these ASAP and free up some desk space - Thanks for the tip.
