My 24" imac wall mounted!

Hi all, I asked for advice regarding putting my imac on the wall & as i have finished doing it today i thought i would put a couple of pics up to say thanks for the help, If anyone needs any tips doing it don't hesitate to ask. The bracket i chose gives plenty of movement but also goes flush to the wall & with a wireless keyboard & mouse it's great!.

I have a few cosmetic bit's to do to tidy the cable up etc so please forgive me!.

Cheers

Geoff

Pretty neat!...I think that you are the first person I have heard of mounting their iMac in this way!

Thanks for sharing, and nice pics!

Very nice! You don't see too many wall-mounted iMacs around.

why is it at the dinning table?

Its in the dining room as i didn't have room for it anywhere else & and it also doubles as a tv & music player for that room, Also i can use the dining table as a desk & at meal times the mac is pushed flush to the wall out of the way, This was the only solution for my situation (and it's out the way of little sticky fingers!).;D

Nice!

One thing I like about my current monitor and didn't like about the iMac is that I have my monitor on an articulating arm and really enjoy that freedom of movement. Seeing this gives me encouragement that I can have the best of both worlds! How much goes the 27" iMac weigh?? Most articulating arms can't hold more than 15-20lbs.

As far as I know, the 27" weighs more than 30 lbs. My cousin just got one and mounted his up in his office. He had to get a heavy duty TV mount for his. The 27" looks GREAT mounted though. If I get an iMac ever, it's going to be mounted.

That was a nice job.

nice but not feeling style of the mount.

I've a 24 inch Aluminium Imac and would like to do this. How do I get started?

that's nice....good job.

once i get a imac, i would love to do that. Do you have a step by step tut you could message with pics? thing im wondering hte most is how it connects from the arm to the imac.

Very nice! Never seen anyone do this sort of thing before! Shame I can't afford an iMac! lol

Thats pretty nice, I have a 27" but I also have it on a big glass desk.. It's very tempting though..

Hi everyone and thanks for your kind remarks, Having used the imac for a couple of days now where it is on the wall we love it! each of us has a favourite way of viewing the screen so it's nice to be able to move it around, As for the bracket it's not the prettiest but it was the strongest with the most adjustment i could get for the money https://www.wallmountbrackets.co.uk/ it holds 23KG & the mac is 11.5KG, I used Rigifix M6 anchor fixings as i have dot & dab walls (plaster then a gap then brick) & it's still up!, Taking the stand off is easy but hitting the catch with the access card is a test of patience!, DO NOT use the the tools that come with the vesa kit as they will strip the torx screws use a Good screwdriver (even go & buy one!) screw the flange on where the stand used to be then screw the vesa mount on attach your wall mount & put it on the wall!, I have a pdf of the Apple vesa mount instructions & the Rigifix if anyone wants them.

Cheers

i would like that pdf please and thank you.

Here is a link to the Apple 24" imac vesa mount......

I have a question, where exactly can you find a heavy duty TV mount for a 27" iMac? Seeing as it weighs quite a bit...

nice

thanks for the post, Geoff - you have precisely the same issues with me and rubbish plaster walls - how was the fixing done? Did you have to drill right through to the brick?

Hi Tom, I used Rigifix fixings, Drill thru plaster into brick behind (use a 12mm masonary bit to a depth of 100mm, Drill smaller guide holes first!), These fixings allow for a 20mm ish gap between plaster & brickwork (see attached pdf) and all the load is on the brickwork & not the plaster, I think they are excellent & my 24" imac is still up! & we have the cantilever arm on full extension most of the time then it gets pushed flush to the wall when not in use (which is not very often as i just bought call of duty 4!).

Hope this helps

Geoff
