I'm looking for articulated arms to mount some computer monitors.

My desk has some cabinets that are blocked when the monitors are at normal working position (think like a rolltop desk). I want to be able to easily swing or push one or both monitors out of the way to reach the cabinets. These are 19" LCDs so appx 20 lb.

Purpose-built articulated arms for monitors are expensive and not that flexible. My arms need to mount to the wall above the cabinet, extend horizontally out, then turn and extend down to place the monitors in front of the cabinets.

I was thinking of using those springloaded arms that desk lights and drafting lights used to be mounted on, and fitting stronger springs to hold the monitors. Does this seem workable? Anyone know of a inexpensive source for these arms?

Or, any other suggestions?

Thanks!
