I would move the suport piece up so it rests between the register and the outlet. <br />Just a thought.thriftymommanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8546718730043897500.post-36358136800550948812011-01-19T07:15:44.691-08:002011-01-19T07:15:44.691-08:00Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your ...Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your blog.

We solved this in our house with a $20 bracket that mounted the monitor to the wall and left the deskspace free.
