Advice How do you organise your chaos of identical cables?

3 Upvotes

It's a very first-world problem, I have so many things connected to the computer it's like a junction box back there. I've tried things like wire ties and tape though I need to be able to remove the coverings if I clean the desk as everything needs to come off. Having so much er chaos makes it harder to clean around my desk short of taking everything off (quite a process). I'll save you having to see the clutter.

  • Keyboard and mouse are wireless
  • Microphone
  • Webcam
  • Graphics tablet
  • 2 monitors
  • PS4*
  • Speakers
  • Printer
  • Ethernet
  • Cable for connecting camera

*I tried to set this up on my TV but having a big screen far away feels disorienting for gaming, especially as I'm used to gaming on PC

Advice Pivoting hutch advice

I know this isnt exactly a desk, but I figure its pretty much close enough that I could get some help from here. I just got a hutch for my toolbox and I cant figure out how I should manage the cable for the overhead light. The whole top pivots forward to close the hutch and the light goes across the hutch and currently I have the cable for the light just dangling in a bunch. The cable has to move everytime I open and close it, so I was wondering if theres someway to make this look better like a retractable spool or something if you guys have any ideas. Thanks

Advice Recommendations on cord cover for walls?

1 Upvotes

I want to get a cover for my tv cords after mounting it, but so many reviews on Amazon for a lot of these cord covers say that they completely wreck your wall when the time comes to take them off.

Any recommendations would be much appreciated (I'm renting a home) - thanks!

Picture in the last slide is my desk.

On the left rack I have a power conditioner which powers my studio speakers, displays (1 43” tv and a 24” and 27” inch monitor), my pc and external hdd.

I need to clean this once and for all. I’ve tried a cable snake but it was no good. Any tips?

Advice How do you guys handle chargers that you might need to carry when you travel?

5 Upvotes

I am exploring cable management for my setup and I had a few doubts. How do you guys handle chargers that you might need to carry when you travel? For eg, I have a XBOX power cord that I carry sometimes along with the XBOX when I travel.
I have 2 laptops and 2 chargers, a phone charger. All of these are not permanent but make a major portion of my cables. I want to hide them but in a way that they are easily removable when I want to travel. How do you handle it.

And I don't have a standing desk, I was thinking of putting my desk touching the wall. But, I don't have a cable hole as well. How will I bring the cables up in that case. I think it might look very ugly if I do it from the side.

Bonjour, je souhaite refaire mon aménagement de bureau, actuellement la prise est proche du sol et la multiprise et la tour sont posés sur le bureau. Afin de gagner de l'espace sur mon bureau, je souhaite poser la tour sur une étagère au dessus des écrans.

A votre avis, si je dois faire des travaux pour déplacer la prise électrique, à quelle hauteur devrais-je la positionner ?

Advice How do I manage cables under my desk so robo vacuum can clean under it?

Post image
10 Upvotes

Got two monitors, a webcam, and a speaker bar on top of my desk while my PC stays under it.

I've set my robovacuum to never go under here so it doesn't tangle the wires. I was thinking of taking this chance to clean up the cables and have none of them touch the ground so that the my robovacuum can actually clean under my desk.

Any ideas?
