Welcome to /c/Battlestations
A community for sharing your computer, gaming or work setups as well as discussion about anything related to such setups.
I finally upgraded my desk and I want to have appropriately clean cable management. I would need probably 4 of the option shown here, and that's unnecessarily expensive, so I'm hoping yall have some ideas.
Also, ideally they wouldn't be out in the open, since I've got a nibbly cat.
Gutters. Go to your local Home Depot clone, get 8 feet (or cut one shorter) of vinyl gutter and some clips to hang them under your desk. Cut to length, hang under your desk.
Ooh, this is clever. Love it when existing products work as cheap and effective solutions aside from their intended use case.
First thing I do is snip off all the wires so my computer is wireless.
Don't forget about the ones inside.
I did say all the wires.
I like the look of that one as it hides everything but it also hides everything so it could be hard to manage a bunch of cables and power bars but once it's setup up how often would you need to go in there?
I've used many of these over the years in office setups from IKEA. It's a open design but with lots of places to hook wire loops.
I used this particular rack for almost 20 years. It's okay.
It's a bit cramped in it's design. It was never easy to undo anything because it snags on everything.
I switched to a design like the one in the pic but angled outwards and it's just been a bit nicer.
21 $ for a bend piece of steel? Hahaha.
True, it seems way too expensive.
Everything has increased in price though...
Looking again at the picture, it seems to have a good amount of space though!
Holy damn, look at the price of this!
Saving this for later
I concur!
Always great to learn about cable management and organization!
Good amount of velcro and zipties?
Many great options:
Seems Ikea has a smaller, but cheaper option (Other comment shows the larger tray):
Loose cables, something like this:
Box to put extension inside, ground level though:
More Cable covers:
Another desk tray:
Floor cable organizer:
