Your audio quality with that Australian accent is so soothing 😂

His before pictures of his desk setup is the goal I am trying to reach.

I can strongly recommend getting a roll of double-sided velcro. That way, you can cut off various lengths as needed, and loop cable bundles to anything. Glue or nail a length to any surface, and you can even quickly attach / detach the cables that are kept together with a separate stretch of velcro. Also perfect when you need to add or remove a cable from the bundle.

Just got a puppy who wants to chew EVERYTHING.... so in addition to aesthetics, this video is very relevant right now.

The other quite important thing to consider is fire safety. A cause for fire can be dust getting caught in the power extension board, especially if all the powerpoints are not used. Having the board vertically or upside significantly increases your safety, which is how i got into cable management myself initially!

I would also like to add that cable organization is important but there is also something most of us don't consider. The speed to service a cable. If you use cable clips in combination with twisties, it'll take a long time to remove a cable. I instead recommend the cable clips that are rectangular and hold 5 cords or so with the latch style closer.

the cable tie tip was legendary. Also I think a good tip is using the the holes that most extension units have on the back to mount it to the table, rather than 3m. Better long term solution and less waste since it's built in and ready to go

So, I literally have your same setup, and I found randomly your video just a day before buying my new pc, and you litterally saved my life, now my minimal room is perfect, thank you so much 🙏🏻❤️

Finally someone actually shows cable management that's not fully hidden behind walls and there's actually some cables visible.

Just did a bunch of cable management on my desk today (got recommended this video afterwards, unfortunately!) and the thing that I bought that was super helpful and not mentioned here was magnetic tape! My desk has metal industrial-style legs with flat sides so I was able to throw some tape on the back of my power board and magnetise it to the desk. Did the same with a couple of my power bricks from my two monitors (after checking that it would be safe to do so, I dunno how magnets work). Looked super clean, didn't have to nail anything into anything else. I also picked up a couple of rubber cable holders with the sticky back, mounted a few of them under my desk to hold the cables in. Allows for me to pull them out easily while also keeping them tidy under there. Great video!

I almost skipped the video because I thought it was an ad. The quality is super sharp!!

For the power strip coming out of the wall, I actually recommend getting one with a 90° plug and running that cord straight down to the floor. Then tucking the cord under the wall trim between the trim and the carpet. Most houses have a considerable sized gap between the carpet and trim that you can’t see unless push down the carpet.

An alternative to the cable clip is an insulated P-clamp, sold at hardware stores all over. These have a huge diameter and because they can be attached using a screw, you can unscrew to add or remove cables as needed.

I too just redid my whole room cable management. My favorite tool is the 3M double-sided tape that are also available in a roll!

[ethanleggett]

This video helped so much! I was in the process of doing a new setup and I was just gonna screw some holes into the wall to hang my extension cable on the wall but when I saw you put yours on the underside of the desk it looked so much better! All your tips and tricks helped me make a clean setup that I'm super happy with. Thanks

Cable management is one hell of a task. I have a home studio and really needed this video.

[RegularVeteran]

I've been collecting those little twist ties for a few years now with no idea what exactly I'm gonna do with em but now I've found my answer. Great video! +1Sub.

moving back to sweden on the 16th, this videos really helpful as I'm going to live at an apartment for a short amount of time (a year maybe). The first method will be perfect for my setup.

Thank you for the wonderful idea on how to manage the cables either permanently or temporarily ❤
