Newer Technology, Inc. announced today the NuStand™ mini XL riser. The solid, single-piece acrylic riser safely elevates a display over a Mac mini or levels the height of a smaller, secondary monitor connected to a 27″ iMac.
Save Space While Elevating Display Over mini
The NuStand mini XL’s 3.5″ clearance raises a LCD (up to 30″) or CRT (up to 22″) over a Mac mini to an ergonomically proper viewing height. Its open-design offers easy access to all ports and if applicable, the mini’s optical drive slot.
Great For iMac Too
Although the NuStand mini XL is designed for the Mac mini, it offers a display solution for 27″ iMac owners wanting to use a smaller, secondary monitor. In addition to leveling the height between displays, the NuStand mini XL also provides the ideal location for an Apple Wireless Keyboard, an external hard drive solution, and other low-profile devices.

When you unplugged the cable, the iMac’s display reverted back to the iMac itself.
Studies have shown that having more screen real estate on your computer helps increase productivity. Even laptops and computers with built-in displays usually have an option for connecting a second display, expanding the computer’s desktop and giving you more room to work.
