One of the benefits of LCD is there's room on the shelf where the monitor goes. I just put mine below the monitor on the shelf the monitor rests on.

How'd you set your rear speakers though?

Well, I don't have a wall behind my monitor, so mounting it on the wall is not an option, but placing a shelf behind it would perhaps work, but then I'd have to find some other space for the printer.

Today I naturally managed to bump into the desk, and not surprisingly, the speaker fell off and all the way down to the floor. Thankfully it didn't break. For now I've secured it with some tape. Not a pretty solution but should hold for now.

Well except for a webcam you shouldn't mount anything on a LCD display.
But here is the nice part, while you can't mount anything on top of it you can place stuff behind it.
You know like a small shelf where you can hide all the routers and stuff, a perfect place to mount the speaker on.
Personally i mounted my speaker on the wall above and behind my monitor since it had this nice wall mount bracket.

Well, I don't know any standard algorithm with a name or anything, but you could simply for every edge look at the two triangles that are connected through that edge and see if it would make sense to replace it with an edge crossing the other way. You'd need some criteria other than shorter distance though for general meshes, for instance the two triangles would need to be reasonably coplanar and the two triangles would need to be convex quad for it to work. Then you'd need to repeat until no further reductions can be found. Without having tested this I suppose it would do a decent job on many meshes. However, there are clearly cases where it would help. For instance in the strip case here it would probably not be able to reduce it to something less. You'd need to consider larger areas in each step to be able to find a better triangulation.

Is there an algorithm that could take a mesh and optimize it to reduce edge lengths?

I used it as an intuitive way to render a circle. Yes, you could drop the center vertex; however, there's no advantage to that. Instead of creating thin triangles towards the center it creates thin triangles across the whole circle and hence performs comparable to strips.

Why did you make a fan with an extra vertex from the center? wouldn't you be able to make a fan from one of the other vertices (would work with any convex polygon) instead? that would save one vertex and 2 triangles.. would be a more fair comparison i think
