I see you have another website for LED lights with the same format.

Does the affiliate revenue you get from these sites make building them worthwhile?

Thank you!

These two are my weekend projects, both started as my own spread sheets for 100 % personal use. Then I wondered if it would be beneficial to other people as well.

Doesn't really answer the question.

[ronyfadel → dplgk]

Yeah.. still wondering about affiliate revenue.

I like this. But it lacks an option for local markets, like .de, .uk, .fr, .ca and so on.

https://diskprices.com/ which i got recently from here (i think?) has this. Which is very convenient ;-)

Edit: Ah yes, there it is: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22156292

Hi HN, I know I have posted this couple of times earlier, however there were couple issues with the site that I noticed after posting it on here. mobile was not working, 404s etc.

This tool was valuable to me, and I really wanted to share it with all of you. Sorry about posting multiple times. I hope you find this helpful.

Very nice - do any of the manufacturers provide info on arm reach / length? I'm trying to mount a drawing tablet display so I can use it sitting on the sofa and flip it to the side when not in use, but I'm having trouble finding an arm that has sufficient reach.

This is neat, wish I had it six months ago. Is it curated or what? Could it be generalized?

[obilgic → aptwebapps]

Thank you! Curated, basically I started creating a spread sheet for myself it kinda got out of hand :)

Stands for 3 monitors should be broken down by whether or not the middle one is fully adjustable.

Do you know why there are no wall mounted 3 monitor stands?

[obilgic → no_protocol]

Great suggestion. Thank you!

I will need to look into that.

[wingerlang]

This is great, I was looking at mounts some time ago and found it strangely difficult to find something that matched what I needed.

[deoxykev]

Oh man, I wish there was something like this, but for eGPUs.

[WrtCdEvrydy → deoxykev]

If you ask for it, someone will build it.

[zenlot]

Really like it. Thank you for putting this all together.

Useful, but needs a permalink to the results.

This post has been hell-banned from the front-page, with no explanation whatsoever. It is very frustrating!

You can email the mods via the contact link in the footer to ask what's up. You have posted this a number of times (5 by my count), including getting some traction 4 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22167651

[obilgic → grzm]

What is the email? They put it back and just banned it again. This is very frustrating for something I worked long nights for.

[dang → obilgic]

Moderators didn't do anything to this post. Users flagged it. That's not so surprising given that the first time you posted it, it got a fair number of upvotes (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22167651), and then you posted it another half a dozen times.
