I think you can pick out parts and have someone put it together for you if that's the route you need to take.

Can someone help me figure out some compatible wall mount OR hanging mount brackets for my monitors?

?
I have a couple Acer XFA240 monitors, and will probably pick up a 3rd of the same. I haven't tried pulling them off the base stands, but no idea if that's even an option?
Edit: ah ha....
I'm working on finishing up a (95 inch) maple slab to put in here as a desk and I'd like to either use wall-mount monitors or, even better, have some kind of rail system under the cabinet that I can hang them from.
Is there something like this for monitor mounts that I could hang under the cabinet and just slide the mounts around to where I want them?
Also.....Is there a monitor hub I can get to switch the monitors between my tower and my lady friend's laptop dock when she shows up and wants to use my monitors?

yea you can pull off just easily
How can you remove the XB270HU from its stand? I need to remove the panel to pack it up for exchange
The stand seems thoroughly attached to the back of the panel and I need to take it off. How do I remove it without damaging the panel?
since youre in a cubbie wall mounting is best

I see Lanx has you covered on everything else, but what you're looking for here is a KVM switch. Since those are only 1080p monitors, the cheap ones should do the job. Higher resolution monitors need a switch with more bandwidth that the 4K 60mhz of the cheap ones.

The last time I looked, I couldn't find one for reasonable price that would even do 1440p @ 144hz. I just have my work laptop hooked up to one of the other monitor inputs and switch inputs on the monitor itself. For the keyboard and mouse, I have a logitech G915, so the bluetooth connection on it paired with the laptop and I have a 2nd mouse.
Not the most elegant setup, but it works.

I got some questions and I don't follow tech like I used to.
Current PC Setup (The ones that matter)
5800X
RTX 3080
32gb RAM
2x 1440p monitors
I'm setting up a racing sim rig that will use it's own monitor/TV and what I want to do is switch the Sim Rig TV and turn off the other two monitors when racing and switch back to the other two monitors the rest of the time. In the future I will put together a PC specifically for the sim rig but for now I'm going to stick with my main PC.
What is the best option for this setup, some type DP output switch or straight into the PC? I assume plugging straight into the PC is going to lower performance and be a pain in the ass to turn off the main two monitors.
Will the switch lower image quality and response times? Are there any downfalls?
What do you all recommend?
Screen will likely be a 4k TV.

Anything in this - companies buying gaming GPUs en masse to power AI ?

I was going to give this gen a miss but if there's even a sniff of this happening it might be time to buy one.

Hopefully we can avoid a repeat of the cryptomining-GPU situation.

It's definitely happening, the question is can Nvidia really force prices higher on GPUs at this point. You had the triple whammy of logistics breaking down, crypto, COVID lockdowns and Biden bucks making people invest in hobbies that broke the supply. Doubt it will be worse but you might end up only being able to find stuff like Arcs on the shelf.Anything in this - companies buying gaming GPUs en masse to power AI ?

There's an app which lets you set up monitor profiles. I did the same when I wanted to turn off two monitors when using my tv
I can't remember what it's called and cba to go to next room and turn my laptop on. Will do it later

A 3080 can handle up to 4 monitors at the same time. Have all three displays shared, of course - but in the game, just select the display you want as the primary display. Just having a windows desktop screen up on the other two, if you arent using anything like "Lively Wallpaper" or similar, uses an insignificant amount of resources. 3080 has 12 gigs iirc, so it shouldnt even come into question.
As far as turning them off, you could just set the background for those specific displays to be black. Or put them on a separate power switch that you can just turn off. Or, if you're more tech savvy - you can use something like Ultra Mon or w/e. You're not the first to want to do this, it just comes back down to your preference on how you want to turn the other monitors on and off. A hardware switch seems like overkill in my opinion.
