I am out in Redmond this week and got to see the Patterns & Practices work area.  You can see what it looks like on Channel9.  One of the things that I noticed was the monitor arms they have....

Humanscale M7 Monitor Arm  (Build-Your-Own) Desk Mount - Wall Mount

I know it seems a little weird... you have to understand I am looking for Nirvana from a monitor standpoint.  I have a couple of monitor arms mounted in my home office... but I am constantly dealing with trying to get it from rotating down and doing a face plant on my desk.  No matter how tight I get the securing bolt... it slips and I have to constantly deal with it.  I Don't have the capability to move the monitors vertical either.  The setup I saw today look solid... you could move it up down, forward back and tilt and it all seemed pretty solid.  I got the model and brand while I was there.  They are using HumanScale's M7... you can get a better idea of what I am talking about by looking at the options to order one of these. 

I priced out a configuration that would nearly work with my current configuration of monitors... might have to rethink my configuration though it was $647 for 4 monitor support with all the extensions. Ouch.
