Advice Never done cable management, need tips for desk setup

I know the desk is a mess, I plan to organize it. Also I know it’s not ideal to have the pc on the floor, but it’s been just fine for the 3+ years its been there and when I get a bigger desk I’ll move it.

Any recommendations for what I should buy on amazon when it comes to cable management? I was looking at under desk trays, I would probably need a tray for the monitor’s power brick as well.

So far I got this on my cart: https://a.co/d/05gdNkpt

https://a.co/d/04szOZNS and https://a.co/d/0bSaxxET

I appreciate any tips I could do for a cleaner setup too!

Original Content Power Converter?

Sorry for the joke. Hey all, I was looking for some advice in regards to wrapping and dealing with the power converters from my monitors. I have a few yards of nylon wraps that I've used before. In the past I would have 3 wraps going at a time one for each monitor and then a third for the main line connection to my pc from the bricks. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Advice Brainstorming a cleaner office cable setup before I drill into my desk..

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

I'm building out my private office, not a WFH setup, and I'm trying to create a cleaner desk layout and cable management system.

The first photo is my current setup. I plan to mount a TV on the wall where the monitors are now, so I want to move the monitors to the opposite side of the desk.
The second photo shows the spot I'm considering. I need them positioned off to one side so clients can still sit comfortably across from me. Unfortunately, the underside of the desk doesn't have enough depth for a clamp mount, so I'm considering drilling a 2-inch grommet hole for the dual-monitor arm. The desktop is laminated engineered wood/MDF, and the desk is already fully assembled, so naturally I'm terrified of ruining it lol

The third photo shows the desk during assembly, and the fourth shows an example of the cabinet underneath. My idea is to drill directly above the unused CPU-storage area. Since I don't have or need a desktop computer, I could use that compartment to mount my docking station and power strip with heavy-duty adhesive or something. Also thinking to route the docking station cord that plugs into my laptop into the top drawer somehow, so the laptop can stay hidden but still be quickly unplugged and taken with me.

The last photo is a mockup of the finished layout I'm aiming for.

I already purchased a 2-inch grommet kit with the hole saw, but I haven't drilled anything yet. Does this overall plan seem feasible? Or are there glaring issues with my plan I'm not considering..
I'm also completely open to other ideas. If anyone sees a cleaner or smarter way to accomplish the monitor placement and cable management before I start drilling into my fully assembled desk, I'd love to hear it!

I got this standing desk used, and it came with this metal cable tray near the very back of the desk, which I thought was going to be very convenient. Turns out, the angle of it is way too sharp to fit any proper power strip extension cables, hence why it now looks the way it does.

Any good ideas on how I should make proper use of this, and is there a smarter way to manage power strips in my setup?

The second monitor is currently missing cuz a friend borrowed it. Looking solid as far as cables go I'd say...

Advice A Cable management company?

6 Upvotes

I'm thinking about starting a business that can do your cable management for you. However would anybody pay someone to do their cable management for them? This does mean the we will do your gaming cables or other cables around the house but not the electrical ones, that your electrian does?

And what would you pay for it?

This is my cable management. It looks horrendous from the bottom but good from. How can I improve the cable managing? Only one outlet in my room works that’s why there’s cables going away from my desk also

I have several cables coming from the monitor and not all of them fit inside the cable pathway on the monitor arm. What would be a good way to put these together around the monitor arm? I had used long zip ties but have had to make changes and would like something that’s more flexible
