Here are the specs:

Case: GEEEK A1

APU: Ryzen 5 2400G

MoBo: Asus Prime A320I-K

RAM: T-Force Vulcan 2x4GB DDR4 3000 CAS 16-18-18-38

Storage: WD Blue SN500 500GB NVMe M.2 SSD

PSU: Customized RGeek 150P PicoPSU (Plastidip, Cable Sleeves and Heatsinks) with External Power Brick

Cooler: ID-Cooling IS-30 with Custom 92mm RGB fan

RGB Strip: Kingwin 24" RGB LED Strip (Cuttable / Asus Aura Compatible)

The custom MoBo I/O plate was done using an old computer case CD drive bay cover. I used vinyl tape for the shapes and spray painted two coats of aluminium plus one coat of clear. The back panel logo was also cut out from vinyl and spray painted mate black (the mate black side facing the interior of the case). The NVMe heatsink was also painted to match the color. To install the extra heatsinks on the PicoPSU, I used this thermal epoxy, which has twice the heat conductivity of thermal tape and creates strong electrical insulation.

Search tech flex on amazon. I used 100ft - 3/8 inch Flexo PET Expandable Braided Sleeving – BlackRed – Alex Tech Braided Cable Sleeve https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074GMN7BK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_pMiyCb51Y5Z6J

OP beautiful job!; get this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DQSMVFN for cable managing those chords on the floor.

There’s no stupid questions I’m happy to help!

PINS

TECH FLEX

CABLE PANTS

WIRE

These are all of the parts I used for this set. I’ve also used bananas and spades but on my JBLs and Amp I really like these bent pins. Quality too.

The cable pants come in sets of 10 - I found this out the hard way. Lol

The flex is pretty easy to put on. And the red and black shrink tape comes with the pins. I tinn my wire ends but it’s not necessary if you don’t have a soldering iron.

Maybe I’ll make a quick video next time I put some together. Hope this helps.

Here's the items I purchased to extend the headset 10 feet.

Power cable- https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FT9VW0O/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

HDMI- https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00JJ517VI/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

USB- https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00C7SA21U/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I also went with a 1/2" braided sleeve to hold them all together. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ZATN3WI/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1



Edit: Including like where I got my info originally. https://www.reddit.com/r/Vive/comments/4eiqda/10ft_extension_cables_after_the_breakout_box/?sort=confidence

The power bricks and power strip might be able to sit in the thing that he linked. So you would just see the power strip cable running down the table.

If that doesn't work, maybe a wire cover like this? Wire Cover You would need to find the correct length and diameter based on your wires, but it might work to consolidate your wires together.

This helps

Its just normal expandable cable sleeving I bought that was slightly wider than the OD of the tubing I have, its a tight fit and a pain in the ass to get on but I think the end result is worth it.

​

Specifically, this stuff:

Just a little tip: get some of those for your cables ;)

I've successfully created a 10 ft (~2m??) extension beyond the break out box. Total cost was under $50. I have a 3.2m x 3.5m or so area and I have more than enough space. One thing I'd note is that the HDMI cable extension is HEAVY/THICK. After I put all the extension cables through the mesh casing, it makes the cable paclage very rigid. Still, this works flawlessly for me! Links to amazon below...

After I had a cat get electrocuted from chewing through a wire, I put plastic looming on all mine. Every exposed electric cable in the house has it now.
https://www.amazon.com/Split-Tubing-Conduit-Flexible-Cover/dp/B07PNBYWMP/ref=sxin_2_ac_d_pm?ac_md=1-0-VW5kZXIgJDE1-ac_d_pm&keywords=cable+loom&pd_rd_i=B07PNBYWMP&pd_rd_r=3decd6d1-6acb-4743-8cff-53f007952514&pd_rd_w=1pR46&pd_rd_wg=j8TsO&pf_rd_p=64aaff2e-3b89-4fee-a107-2469ecbc5733&pf_rd_r=MF7NMFJ9TVAMR748ZGBE&qid=1565392819&s=gateway

Pretty sure it's this braid:

I bought the blue one to do the wiring up to the effector on my delta, all I can say is it's a bitch and a half feeding things through it. I haven't shrunk the heatshrink yet since I'm going to run the drive cable for my nimble with all the wiring as well.

https://i.imgur.com/0XvkQ6b.jpg

maybe get some plastic wire protectors and warps around tightly like this https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Spiral-Management-Solution-Organize/dp/B07DQSMVFN?ref_=Oct_UPriceC_6577542011_4&pf_rd_r=9D0XJS0JM4D7TQY4B9NJ&pf_rd_p=41837790-9459-531f-bf27-79d7d368f580&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-6&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=6577542011&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER - but be sure she doesn't chew the plastic!

​

Also clean rust with vinegar and lemon juice solution and a hard scrubbing sponge.

​

Best of all try to expend her space from just a cage at night and she will not chew on the bars... chewing on the bars indicates wanting to get out from a small space often...no offence here!

Rabbits are crepuscular - meaning most active at night and early mornings as prey animals, so they are quite active often when humans sleep...

I totally understand the idea of having the bun in a more secure space when you are asleep but given the crepuscular schedule I mentioned above try to expand that space from just a cage. You can get an xpen or some NIC grids and attach them to the cage edges with some zipties such that the cage door always leads to a larger but still more secure space for her.

Kind of like in here or this picture or this or this.

I use this type of cord protector from amazon!

I use these to tame my cable monsters: Cable Sleeves.

What did you use for a shelf? I was thinking of doing the same, but was having a hard time finding one I trusted to hold the weight.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075BL4MH8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_R9w4DbA6YEW35

Look into something like this. I love mine

I used this

I need to post my desk on reddit (I'm waiting on one more item to come in), but this thing is a must have for standing desk imo. My review is the 'tastical' review.

https://www.amazon.com/StandDesk-Cord-Taco-Management-Productivity/dp/B077F53754

Really easy to do, and not much needed. Whip hose to start, then the cable shielding. On the other end, looks like they have a straight 14mm male connector followed by a simple bubbler, doesnt look like a mouthpiece. All links are an example so you know what to get, not suggesting that these are the places to buy them from. For the shielding, https://www.amazon.com/25ft-Expandable-Braided-Sleeving-BlackBlue/dp/B074LVRHX8/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1549826117&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=3%2F8+inch+Flexo+PET+Expandable+Braided+Sleeving&psc=1 . Type of glass connector you need, https://www.vaporbrothers.com/H2O-Waterpipe-Adapter-14mm-Straight-Male_ProductID_8006 , bubbler, https://www.puffitup.com/The-Scope-14mm-H2O-Mouthpiece-p/qctq.14mm-f_bubb-bla.htm or you can just use a mouthpiece if you dont want to attach it to a water piece. https://imgur.com/a/FZtR8sz

I ordered these. It's a very, very long sleeve that wraps around cords and holds together with velcro along the seam, so it's adjustable, and also comes with little velcro ties to secure it, as well. I've seen my own cat bite down on the bundle, and he couldn't get through.

edited to add: I also have a cordless mouse, and definitely suggest one for you, too.

Get something like this zipper-style cable management. If you need to have cables come out, just snip with scissors and it makes it look a lot cleaner than without!

What kind of chair do you have?

You might be able to fix this, with about 15 minutes of your time. I know this sucks, my cat chewed on wires for years :( Check out https://youtu.be/qHoyF4yKhjU.

Also, if you need to, check out wire loom (you'll need split loom to wrap the wire (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PNBYWMP/). Good luck!

I love the color scheme and wall pc. You should check out this neoprene cable sleeving I use to neatly bundle all the cables together:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GJVVCWN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_3VBwDbSMPV19Q

I bought this long roll so I could cut a couple sections for different things. Like cables going to monitor vs power strip etc

Not entirely sysadmin related, but my HR team decided that as part of our upcoming office remodel, I am in charge of coming up with cable management for the 100 new sit/stand desks they've ordered. Cables = computers = throw it at the sysadmin because he has plenty of time, right?

We're using these https://easyergo.co/ at 29x53, and of course, they don't offer any custom cable management for their custom desks. I'm trying to avoid trashy adhesive mounts and thin plastics that will break if someone leans back and kicks it, and drilling desks is not a problem. Does anyone have cable management for sit/stand desks that they're happy with?

EDIT: Decided to go with the cable taco, because tacos.

https://www.amazon.com/StandDesk-Cord-Taco-Management-Productivity/dp/B077F53754?ref_=ast_sto_dp

I use below sleeve.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H2R9YWY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Here are all the extensions and sleeve you need.

Yeah, I have extensions to mine with the extensions wrapped in this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FQR8XEW

With the extra slack it's not as bad. Others have opted to suspend the cords on the ceiling using retracable cables like this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M6EB8DM

Standard split wire loom is great and all, but have you ever tried this stuff? More expensive per foot, but no sharp edges for little fingers.

Are protective sleeves worth it for my cans? I'm planning on getting these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H2R9YWY

Or am I just being a bit ocd.

Get generic ones for 1/2 the price:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FW388KV/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_njgBCb88SBG99

Don't forget about outside of the case. You can use these neoprene sleeves to bundle the power and video cables behind your desk. You can also use velcro strips.

I had the same problem and solved it with this

VIVO Black Under Desk Privacy & Cable Management Organizer Sleeve Wire Hider Kit Panel System - 30" Length (DESK-SKIRT-30)
Had a comment regarding cable management. Everything is mostly tucked away into this panel which hangs off the back of the table, didn’t go the tape/screw mounting route for anything since I leave my college apartment to head home often... solid choice if you need easy cable access.

Not sure what OP used, but I was considering these.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FW86XV6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_-0a4CbWWB3FCJ

There are cord protectors out there. You can find them at a home improvement store or on amazon.
I got a bunch because I have bunnies and it's super common to "bunny proof" your house. Works for dogs/cats/and curious parrots too. They make prettier ones too...(https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Electric-Protect-Rabbits-Diameter/dp/B07L86SJNJ/ref=pd_sbs_199_t_0/139-7801524-5489905?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07L86SJNJ&pd_rd_r=7c4d8736-481b-4d23-bceb-26bccc4628dd&pd_rd_w=j8Ez0&pd_rd_wg=TtMtb&pf_rd_p=5cfcfe89-300f-47d2-b1ad-a4e27203a02a&pf_rd_r=2C5WQEH51WJDZ4RKPZGA&psc=1&refRID=2C5WQEH51WJDZ4RKPZGA)

Will this do?

Yea it's really easier than I thought it would be. It was just something like this, except I got mine from target. I'd recommend this sleeve though because mine is fraying easily. You just cut to length with scissors, and it Velcros together.

Also, I used this

I actually just found this from someone else's setup. It's the mesh I like that come with PSU cabling. I'll try and clean it up with this http://www.amazon.com/Techflex-Clean-Cut-Sleeving-Black/dp/B0008JIQ18/ref=sr_1_sc_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1344778958&sr=8-2-spell&keywords=cableflex+sleeve

Not too much if you do a bit of cable management, I know the the Zalman mic there's a clip every foot or so, but i put in a couple loops around the headphone wire to keep the mic wire nice and tidy.

Eventually I'm thinking of buying a sleeve to make it look much cleaner.

I like to wrap all my wire bundles in TechFlex mainly because I prefer the look to the split loom wrap.

Hey /u/OrangeDitt Under the desk where you have the power strip you should make use of one of these [Link 1 below] (or make one similar). It is a Cable Management Box that lets you hide the power strip and also neatly bundle and hide away the extra cable lengths. Then bundle the rest of the cable together and put it in one of these cable sheaths cut to length [Link 2 below]. That way the cables stay clean of dust, and look good if anyone wants to pop their head under the desk.
