Monitor Stand Adapter

My computer has an ultrawide monitor. It's great, but it takes up a lot of desk space. I decided to replace the stand with an older one(I think it's from 2003) that has adjustable height and rotation. Then I can put my speakers underneath and use more of my desk space. I made an adapter plate to attach it by drilling extra holes in the VESA mount because the mounting holes are closer together than the ones on the stand. I tested it in "portrait mode" with Minecraft, and it looks crazy. It is not practical for gaming, but might be good for reading text. After that, I rotated it back to normal, but adjusted the height so it's about 6 inches off the desk. The stand that it came with only does tilt.
