Anyone using a vertical macbook pro stand? Any opinions about them?
I recently got an external monitor for my MBP that I want to use exclusively. I want to hide the MBP while it's in clamshell mode when I'm using the external monitor. Not really hidden, though that would be nice, but more of a space saver. It's going to be closed when using with the external monitor.

The two I have found are:
Powersupport Vertical Stand:


Balmuda Floater:


Anyone have opinions about running laptops vertically? Or any suggestions on setups? Vertical stands seem like they would work but anyone have other solutions?

Yea, the Balmuda floater looks pretty hot, but way overpriced. Check out the links below.

That Balmuda floater thing looks very very nice, but also way overengineered and overpriced. The Powersupport thing also looks nice, but it's hard to tell since that page Stizo posted is borked in my firefox.
