The screen of a computer monitor is surrounded by a generally rectangular monitor housing frame portion having an outer peripheral side edge disposed generally perpendicularly to the screen, and a rear side edge area disposed generally parallel to the screen. A mounting groove is formed in and extends continuously around the peripheral frame side edge, and a spaced series of mounting holes extend around the length of the rear side edge area. A computer peripheral device has a body portion from which a spline outwardly projects, and a mounting flange portion with a spaced pair of holes formed therein and alignable with a selected pair of the frame mounting holes. The peripheral device may be removably mounted on a selectively variable position on the screen frame portion by inserting the spline into the frame groove and inserting suitable fastening members inwardly through the mounting flange holes and into the frame mounting holes aligned therewith. The peripheral device mounting flange is adjustable to compensate for width variations along the screen frame portion, and auxiliary support pins are provided that may be inserted into vacant screen frame mounting holes to act as wiring supports upon which wiring from the mounted peripheral device may be rested to route the wiring from the peripheral device to a suitable source of power and at the same time at least partially conceal the wiring from view from the front of the monitor.
