Thanks. I plan to be sitting back in a chair away from the desk watching the tape on the first level, the second level is for pulling up charts on anything that catches my eye and the third level would be large font so that I can see it when I am sitting back away from desk (which would also minimise neckstrain). The reason for having lots of screens is to minimise the inconveninece of clicking between windows and just as importantly reduce chance of tunnel carpel syndrome. There are some screens that are non input required.

I think you will find they all need to be aimed at you or the colors wont look right.
Nice!
I too find it easier to have a 3rd level instead of swiveling the chair around. Actually there are a couple of monitors that I mounted on a 4th level - below my desk surface. With your bookshelves, you can easily mount them to form the third level. With an arm extension you can tilt them maybe at a 30-40 degree angle down so the display is easier to read. The desktop chassis itself can probably on the floor and you can put one monitor there.
I try to maintain my field of vision to no more than 180 degrees.

If I put a row above, they might get too tightly spaced because to read them, they would need to be angled down. The 2nd row is already overlapping a bit because of that, but they needed to be closer to read.
I guess to do it, another mounting rack similar to the 2nd row's could be attached to the top of the bookcase, and the monitors could be spaced independently from the 2nd row, starting from center and working outwards.
I spent about $200 on all the mounting gear, not bad considering its all oak with swiveling VESA mounts. I built the whole thing with hand tools, mitre box and electric drill. It took a weekend to build.

Infamous here. Famous out there. And so it goes. ;-)

Interesting video, thanks!
No worries. If there is more than one way to interpret what someone says to me, I always assume the positive one until proven otherwise.
You are a gentlemen for your concern. Thanks.
