Cooler Master case attaches to monitor -- how/which ones

Framework Laptop 13

So the Cooler Master case product page mentions that the case has VESA mounting holes, and says that that means it can be attached to a monitor.

(How) does that work? Would the VESA mounting holes on the case have to attach to the VESA mounting holes on the monitor? I guess you’d need a monitor that doesn’t need the VESA mounting holes to attach to its stand. That would be, I guess, a monitor that has VESA mounting holes and a stand that doesn’t use those VESA mounting holes.

Has anyone done this? Was it hard to find a monitor that this worked for? Having to settle for ad-hoc leaning the monitor (and attached mainboard/case combo) against something (what? A pile of books?) sounds suboptimal.

Couldn’t figure out which category this belonged in, but apparently it’s mandatory to have one. Feel free to move it somewhere more appropriate.

I think the category is right, thanks for your concern.

I’m purely making an assumption here based on the information provided in the item listing, but according to this page , it should be mis-d.

That’s correct. You need a monitor with “unused” Vesa mounting holes. They’re not super hard to find. I just searched on Amazon for “monitor” and of the first 10 results, 9 had free vesa mounting holes not occupied by the stand.

Obviously don’t lean the monitor against something. In that case it would make much more sense to keep the monitor intact and just put the case onto the desk or wall-mount it or whatever.
