(Part 2) Best electrical cord management products according to redditors

4 inches of this should do the trick, just glue or anchor it down on the outside of where the wheels will cross and you should be golden.

Can also blend it in with something like this: One-Cord Channel Cable Concealer - CMC-03 Cord Cover Wall Cable Management System - 125" Cable Hider Raceway Kit for a Power Cord, Ethernet Cable, Speaker Wire - 8X L15.6in, W0.59in H0.39in, White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D8WVJWF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_GKoEDbCEG26T6

This was a life saver for me and absolutely worth its weight in gold.

What I like to do is zip them together in bundles, and then use anchors to keep them in place. Of course, this is semi-permanent, so not great if you keep changing your configuration or moving components. For a less permanent solution, velcro cable ties are great for at least bundling the cables.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GZX6G1W/ref=mp_s_a_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1497745351&sr=8-12&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=cable+management

I wouldn't put them outside, especially if they've gone so long without learning how to stay safe out there. If your neighbors are so far away, I'd be worried about what sort of wildlife you have in your area. I doubt the cats are maliciously targeting your things alone, they probably have just decided that "wires over here are fun" and not extended the concept to other wires. Or they like chewing on wires that were near you.

I watched my cat destroy a cell phone cord one day. It was quite thin, he just casually walked up and bit it, the way outdoor cats will approach long blades of grass, and that was it. It was too thin to hold up to even one bite. It wasn't malicious, and I think he was as surprised as I was that it broke so easily. (Although maybe the look of surprise was that I was rushing towards him saying, "No! Bad cat!")

Regardless, it sounds like you need to protect your wires. Bitter sprays have never really worked on my cat, but are worth a shot. I'd personally go with wire covers. (I'd put one on your wife's mouse, too, just in case they re-direct their attention to it when they can't get to yours. I'd also cover any wires that are similarly thin.)

There are a lot of options. This one looks like it might be exactly what you need. There's also a larger size for power cords. Or, if you want to cover every wire, there's a bulk option.

You might also want to provide them with cat grass so they have an appropriate outlet for all their chewing.

Behold! The Lord will give you the answer!

This would look 10x better if you fixed those cables. I would use this for the monitor cables and this for the PC cables.

EDIT: I didn't know what heat shrink was, will investigate for next project.

It's not heat shrink, it's this stuff.

Try something like this: Cord Protector - CritterCord - A New Way to Protect Your Pet from Chewing Hazardous Cords https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000EH2I5O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Qx4CxbQNADVVZ

Also, wrapping the cords in tin foil might help. Cats don't like the way it feels on their teeth.

Then get the black zip ties. Or jazz it up with some colored ones instead. This is your world. You are the creator.

I have a similar standing desk and got something like this and a standard cable management tray and mounted both underneath my desk at the back. You can use any normal powerstrip but I wanted the wider one because of some larger power blocks and and because I wanted to more evenly distribute the weight. That way I really only have 1 cord that comes off my desk similar to the one you see here on the right.

​

Edit: I am actually really interested in how you wired the lights. It looks like you punched through the carpet. Did you do that when installing or am I missing something? Did you do the same for ethernet?

Ideal data closet for me would be

• Solid wooden door with a hefty lock or access control and self closing/self locking mechanism
  
• Ladder Rack between server and network racks
  
• at least one plywood wall for mounting non-rack mountable equipment and all the random phone and ISP related nonsense.
  
• at least 3 electrical circuits that have their own breaker. (one for each redundant power supply to the server/battery backup in between and one for everything non-essential
  
• Mini-Split AC system (or two)
  
• Environmental monitoring
  
• Security camera(s)
  
• Not carpeted. I'd take polished cement over carpet, but tile is probably ideal.
  
• As many power ports as possible, or those really large power strips are great.
  
• A phone in the server room is always nice
  
  Another cool thing I've used is this cable wrap
  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FW3GTXB
  
  makes things look slick and it's easy to add cables in as needed. I usually just throw a few pieces of velcro around it and call it a day. If you ever have to add a wire you can easily slide it in.

Here ya go. I've done a few similar projects and I've used these everytime. They make cable management super easy and super fast.

A company I used to work for used Panduit plastic conduits for their industrial cabinets. There were always chunks left over since they cut them to size; I grabbed a few and screwed them into the legs of my desk and ran everything through that. The wife was insanely happy.

That's also when I learned to not use ZIP ties.

It's a mount for a zip tie/cable tie.

Not that you plan on changing it up too much, but I would recommend replacing the zip ties with velcro ties instead. That way if you ever have to take them off, you don't risk snipping a cable by accident. Ask me how I know :(

So bummed this isn't a thing, except every post would be "TIL (today i learned) LEMON JJUICE IS PERSERVATIVE?!" and now I'm relieved it's not. Because we all know there's one and only one bar hack.

https://www.amazon.com/DTOL-Plastic-Cable-100-Pack-Black/dp/B002C0SKBW

Solid recommendation, but this should hold up much better:

Copapa 21M 68 Ft PE Black Polyethylene Spiral Wire Wrap Tube PC Manage Cable 6mm 1/ 4'' for Computer Cable, Car Cable (Dia 6MM-Length21M, Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYF1GDV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Ulp5Bb35ZB2K5

So for wall mounted TVs I recommend a cable raceway (similar to this) to disguise the cable on the wall. You can adhere to the wall with command strips or other double-stick.

You can also use this for the lamp cord. I recommend moving the lamp closer to the wall. If there is excess cord, you can often feed it back into the lamp base. If your lamp base doesn't have a bottom, you can neatly (and gently) coil (DO NOT CREASE) the excess cord and secure with cable ties (I like this stuff because it only takes a little, and it's repositionable, unlike zip-ties).

As far as the power brick and excess cord to the wall...I would recommend placing an entertainment center (games????) OR some kind of decorative something that sparks JOY! Maybe something that can function as storage for something you need in the room, but don't want laying about (remote controls, etc).

Pro-tip: it may be tempting to pull cords SUPER tight, but keep a little slack to ensure the cable isn't being bent at the connectors.

Good luck, and please share your end solution with us!

Repost, imgur ate the first image album.

The last 7 photos are from the first VR Crash Cart I built to help illustrate some of the assembly steps involved.

Zip ties. Various sizes.

Once everything is connected, try to find places where you can anchor a zip tie to tidy things up. It's usually pretty easy around unused drive bays. If there's no place at all to put one, you can use these.

Great idea! I might have to do this myself!

As for protecting the cord, you could try one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Cord-Protector-CritterCord-Protect-Hazardous/dp/B000EH2I5O

Springs work well too since they're metal. I'm sure a trip to your local hardware store can probably help for finding random plastic tubes that could fit over a cord!

Oh Bloody Hell!

Alien Ant farm?

these would be helpful for my mom to keep all her cords straight!

SCX10 Field Repair Kit

Haha, that's usually the reaction I get when I break this bad boy out. I got indoctrinated to them through the aviation business a long time ago, which is where the one in the picture came from. I've also bought these ones from amazon for PC cable management that work very well.

Easy fix.

Use cable trays on the bottom of the desk: https://www.amazon.com/WireTamer-Cable-Management-Tray-Black/dp/B01BVYW7UY/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=cable+tray&qid=1571879377&sr=8-4

Then screw in a large strip cord to the bottom: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0036DEC48/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Some cable clips to top it off (use your favorite style, there are plenty): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075Y9J42T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Then run them down the legs from the bottom of the desk, just use Velcro straps or something :)

​

Here are both of my main setups using only those products: https://imgur.com/a/67TxbQQ

custom means nothing. smearing shit all over the bike is ‘custom’ but do you want that? ignore custom, and look for craftsmanship and quality. for example the headlight brackets on the front are some cheap chinese crap off ebay. or the cable organizer.or the license plate bracket . that says cheap and corner cutting. if that’s the case, the price should reflect it. although I dont believe such an awesome, iconic bike deserves these subpar parts.

They make cord covers like this that you can put down by the trim & either leave white to match the trim or paint beige to match the wall.

You can get something like this.

Bought everything. The desk itself is from Etsy. I stuck cable raceways around the outside of the desk, they're awesome I recommend them. Other than that double sided sticky pads and cable clips come in handy for sticking power packs and extension leads under the desk.

The excuse some of these people make is that they're in living arrangements where you may not be able to do such a thing. All I can think of is just run a goddamn wire against the wall. You can make a cable run look clean if you put it as close to thew all as possible and if you have to cross floors fuckin use cable raceways with that adhesive on the back to cover it up:

https://www.amazon.com/One-Cord-Channel-Cable-Concealer-Management/dp/B07D8WVJWF

Problem fucking solved. That way you don't make holes in your wall to do it and it looks clean.

I can tell you that THIS is literally what is used in that image because that image is what is used in the images on the sale page. I can further attest that these are absolutely amazing and worth every penny! Also...not expensive at all.

Not really a permanent fix, and you mentioned being open to professional solutions so you're likely in a position to cut into the wall... But if for some reason you're looking for a quick fix, look into cable runners if you haven't already. You can find them at Home Depot/Lowe's and can paint them to match the color of your wall.

Again, not the best solution, but I've used it when I didn't want to run wires through the wall/ceiling.

Makes sense to have the cable cross where you have it but you will really wish you had this the day the lights are out and you trip over the cable yanking the cord at an angle causing damage to the port.

Not my picture but this is what I plan on doing

E: Something like this will go along way towards making whatever you decide on look much cleaner.

Here's a short album of my recent 650D build. There are 3 shots from the back from various points in the process. It's a pretty tight fit back there (giggity) and the most difficult part for me was the flat SATA cables. These little suckers made my life so much easier, and I'd highly recommend them. Some round SATA cables would probably help as well.

Have you tried these?

Try these Cord Protector - CritterCord - A New Way to Protect Your Pet from Chewing Hazardous Cords https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000EH2I5O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_yd6ZBbY88G20N. They also come in special sizes for specific kinds of cords.
I’ve been with my husband for 20 years now, and he still doesn’t get cat-proofing. Sorry to bear bad news.
Also you might consider a crate for her when she can’t be supervised, just like we do for dogs. You can find pretty large ones, big enough for you to walk into and hang out, which you can do while training her what a great place it is. Feed her only in there, put her favorite toys and comforts in there, and she’ll learn to like it.

My youngest cat has a thing for HDMI cables - he's eaten at least $100 in HDMI cables. Nothing I sprayed on them worked (tried bitter apple and a cayenne pepper solution). Finally I found this : Critter Cable. It's the only thing that has been able to keep his sharp little teeth out of my wires. It is absolutely worth the expense.

You should have n+1 litter boxes for the cats, where n is the number of cats. So ideally you should have 3 litter boxes in your situation.

Do they have elevated places to sit and survey the room(s)? There should ideally be one for each of your cats so territory wars don't ensue.

Also what does 'smelly dumps' mean? Have they always been smelly or is this a new development? If it's a new development, and not a result of a diet change, you should take him to a vet. And yea, like someone else already asked, what kind of cat litter are you using?

Regarding cables, they make stuff like this.

Better than tape:

I know you said it's complete, but if I may suggest - I would add 1 more leg near where the monitor mounts - to keep the long desktop from bowing in the future.
Also some Alex drawers, like everyone else, for storage.

Also, cable management doesn't look bad to me. You'll always have that one wire going to the subwoofer anyway. A pack of these or some cable sleeving seems sufficient for that.

I really recommend This!

Really can find it anywhere and maybe some cable ties. You can pick them up at any hardware store. If you want to keep it simple!

Yes, they can be!

https://www.amazon.com/Bluecell-Releasable-Reusable-Organization-Management/dp/B008OC2EE6

Could even use rubber cable organizers.....idk how to link to text on mobile

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NVKHLP8/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_D75PDb2P00C67

I hid the wire between the headliner and the roof, also used these to keep the wire out of the way from the plug-in.

Don't let this hooligans fool ya. LED's are awesome, more screens the better. I'm not sure if you use that box as a foot stool but if not you should move it so you have room for your feet.

1. As someone else said move the LED strip to the back of your desk.
   
   
   
2. Again as someone else said move that one speaker to the correct side. However, you don't need to discard a monitor for that. Just put it behind where the monitors meet. So long as the speaker isn't covered too much it shouldn't hinder sound coming out of it. Heck, if you wanted you could lay the speaker on its side. I'm not much of an audiophile and don't have those speakers so your mileage may vary. Are those speakers hooked up to a stereo, computer, or maybe a DAC? If it's a DAC then you could easily mount that to the underside of the desk with some double sided tape or Velcro tape. I prefer Velcro tape myself.
   
   
   
3. Once more, as someone said mount those headphone somewhere when you're not using them. Seems you have space to the left of your desk for that. If you like using that space yourself then you could just mount a holder on the underside of your desk. They're super cheap on Amazon, and anything like this will work fine.
   
   
   
4. It's hard to see how much cable clutter you have. Best thing you can do is bundle as many cables together as possible. A good way to do this is with veclro ties. The more peripherals you get the more cables you have. Some will have their own power bricks and some will have cable length as if you were supposed to use the thing in another room. To deter this I would recommend cable trays to mount to the bottom of the desk. One other thing that can help for cable management is a cable sleeve which is helpful for tiding up those cables as they go to your PC.
   
   
   
5. Basically mount anything and everything you can to the bottom of your desk to hide as much as possible from view.

I bought a Vive Link Box to use as a signal/power booster in the middle, and it works great. This cured all my dropouts and audio glitches, as well as giving my system a Bluetooth radio.

This setup works great:

1. Vive Link Box
   
2. Vive Link Box Power Supply
   
3. 12 ft Power cable extension for Vive Link Box
   
4. 10 ft USB 3.0 extension cable
   
5. 10 ft Amazon Basics HDMI cable
   
6. Wire wrap to keep everything tidy
   
   Make sure you power cycle the Vive Link Box whenever you plug or unplug anything into it to for it to reinitialize and detect the headset.
   
   I really wish there was a more elegant solution, but so far this works the best for me.

They have that cable raceway stuff that sticks to the wall and you can run cables through. It certainly looks better than a bunch of blue cables everywhere.

Do be careful though, some of these have glue on the back that's strong enough to pull your paint off the walls when you try to remove it... use a heat gun or some goo gone or something to soften that first.

https://www.amazon.com/D-Line-Raceway-1D3015W-Electrical-Paintable/dp/B077YD9DG6/

For going through doorways, if you have carpet, just pull it up a bit and cram cables under and around. If you don't have carpet, use a small drill to put a hole between the two rooms and a tiny bit of some kind of sealant to make it pretty. When you move out, pull the cable out and patch the hole.

Looks great!

Since you asked for feedback (good man soliciting it BTW), I would get some cable raceways for the TV the hide those cables, perhaps toe in the fronts ever so slightly, if you have wiggle room on the bracket, drop the TV a few inches, then get some velcro zip ties for the cables to the right of the entertainment center to tidy that up.

EDIT Oh, one more thing, if you can, see if you can figure out a way to drop the DTV box and Xbox into the cabinet below and move the turntable over to the right side so you give your AVR room to breathe.

Congratulations!

In case you need any tips as a new bunny parent take a look at the little guide on care I assembled below https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Z_IvDuy5Fr-VOKwBVBSmZih0m1ATCIquIMhYyFl4aIw . I really tried to include all the info a new bunny parent might want into this guide...

For wires

1. Wire protectors that work well - these are quite chew proof and you just hide you cables inside - it makes things look nice and neat actually and you won't have another wire chewed.
   
2. Also something like this is great if you can make it work in the space config you have... like along the baseboard or floor - I used these to hide my cords and make everything neat before a bun was ever in the picture even
   
3. I have also seen people slit open a heavy duty garden hose and put the wires inside - works well
   
   Watch a few videos below for some more great tips - they are short and have good ideas for you

   If you wanted to secure the whole area than buying a metal xpen and setting up as a barrier would be a good option.

This is complete overkill (the specific link) Look for items that are under amazon search term "Cable Raceways"
Some of them are simple channels with a foam-tape type thing to stick to the walls. Similar to this https://www.amazon.com/Legrand-C210-Wiremold-Cord-Mate/dp/B00004W3ZQ/ref=zg_bs_6577543011_6

Here you go: https://www.amazon.com/Legrand-Wiremold-Cable-Concealer-Raceway/dp/B00004W3ZQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1539314153&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=legrand+c210&dpPl=1&dpID=41B9wk%2BGVqL&ref=plSrch

They aren’t the best, but they are fairly subdued and look great on white floorboards.

Looks great, but how about a little CordMate down along the trim for those subwoofer cables!

I don't have too much experience with wire coverings, so hopefully someone more experienced will chime in, but as I see it, the type you mentioned are to essentially give you enough time to stop them eating it. It doesn't totally prevent them from eating through it, especially if they are determined. If you are planing on supervising, then wire covers would work perfectly, but if you are hoping to do free reign without supervision sometimes, then you may want to think of a different solution. Perhaps in addition to the wire covers, you could also move them up out of the way or block off areas with wires. I have my alarm clock wire strung through my bedroom door that lads to my bathroom so its a few feet off the ground, and my fish tank cords I just recently wrapped around the leg of my desk so it's high up off the ground (and looks interesting design wise). You could also just put a pen or cardboard fence over the area so the bunny can't get to it in the first place.

As for your actual question, I was googling it, and this website came up. It seems pretty accurate in terms of rabbit proofing. I found this link at the bottom of the page. perhaps that would work for you?

There is also this that I found, which seems much less abrasive then the other kind as it is smooth.

If you want something permanent that they actually can't chew through, I have seen pictures of people using pvc piping and running it around their house with the wires inside.

You could tape the cords to the floor/wall to make them less accessible, or you could buy some thick walled PVC pipe to put your wires in.

Or, you know, lock the dog in another area of the house with something else to chew on.

I always put a small zip-tie through the lock spot on my luggage and carry a handful more in my "personal bag" to re-close my bag after it's searched and at the other end.

It's about as secure as a typical luggage lock (can be taken off with a pair of pliers) and accomplishes all of the same objectives:

• It discourages people from casually prying into my luggage.
  
• It stops the zipper opening itself in transit.
  
• It lets me know if someone has been in my luggage.
  
  Save yourself some time and money and get yourself a hundred of these suckers for like $4.

Sounds like the tubing on the whip may have been stretched a little too much or too often. You might want to try cutting maybe two inches off of it... alternatively you could try using the smallest size zip ties to 'clamp' the rubber to the glass... youll obviously want to be careful that you do not break the glass.

The last idea I would suggest you try is to take a rubber band and try to hold it down with the rubber band by looping it over and over and over the last little end bit where the tubing and the glass meet.

If you want a solution that is repeatable and nice looking, maybe do some of these w/ some zip ties? That way, you can just cut the zip ties when done, and leave the mounts on the boards for next year.

Edit: These are the same thing, but more cost effective and have the prime/free shipping option.

I think I like this idea too. They make self adhesive plastic tabs that are slotted to accept a zip tie running through them, I think that may be a good way to go. Like these little chingaderos

They look like they're attached with something like these and zip ties : https://www.amazon.com/Ziotek-Zip-Tie-Mount-Pack/dp/B000BSJHLE

Zip tie mount.

Hopefully someone else will have some good advice, but it sounds to me like he may have Pica. If it is Pica the best thing is to basically keep dangerous things away from him. I would also suggest dog toys, something like an xs or small Kong might be good (they are pretty high quality rubber). If he wants to chew cords you might try something like this. You might also get him some cat grass to give him something he chew up and eat without hurting himself.

Mine destroyed 2 and then I bought this

Amazon used to carry these but I guess they're sold out now. I have them on all my pricy cables. Can't recommend them enough if you have animals.

I recently installed the same thing. Instead of allowing the cable to slide freely through the hoops, you want to tie down the cables to the hoops with some appropriate amount of slack. That way when you bend down, the leashes will extend, instead of the cable sliding through.

Pick up some velcro cable ties (zip ties seem too permanent). Then you can adjust the slack to what you want and it won't change. I used something like this:https://www.amazon.com/VELCRO-Brand-ONE-WRAP-Management-Multi-color/dp/B00144CABS/ref=sr_1_5?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1522950872&sr=1-5&keywords=velcro+cable+ties

You will want some slack between the leashes also, so you don't end up extending all the leashes at the same time. As long as the slack is short enough that the dangling cables are still over your head, you should be fine. I can pretty much cover my entire space with just two of the leashes extended.

It's a bit of work, but not having to move your cable every time your turn around, will significantly improve your immersion.

Interesting. Is there another use for them?

Meanwhile in IT land we use these. And they're removable so you can hang things up to dry while in camp.

I'm sure there are but they're going to be expensive.

You have two cheaper options.

First is cable floor conduits. I don't know how that would play with your wheelchair but I can attest that these can withstand quite a bit of pressure.

Second is to run the cable up along a wall with cable clips. You said you didn't have anyone that could help, I'd suggest asking a friend or making friends with someone. Even just offering someone a sixpack to help you out would be fair, it's a ten minute job and all you need is a hammer.

Yes, most people would spend 20 bucks on the tools and parts, which is why I stated do it yourself for $20. Cable clips: 100 for $1. Hammer: $7. Coax cable: 25ft for $5. It also doesn't take a genius to pop the cable clip onto the cable and hammer the nail into the wall along the baseboard. Even if you need to "waste your time" watching a five minute Youtube video, scheduling a cable guy will take at least a week and a four hour window of sitting at home on the day of the appointment. It's far from rocket science. Edited for clarity.

If you have a ton of slack, I've used these clips to route up the door frame and across the ceiling.

A carpet laid out over cable is my 2nd option.

My 3rd option is to bust out the handyman tools and start running cable through the walls.

http://www.amazon.com/Plastic-Cable-Ties-100-Pack-Black/dp/B002C0SKBW

$1.99 and free shipping. Maybe $0.34 more than OP's pricing, but they're also charging several dollars to ship. You'd have to order some serious bulk to make up for OP's shipping costs.

http://www.amazon.com/VELCRO-ONE-WRAP-Self-Gripping-Cable-Reusable/dp/B001E1Y5O6/
Velcro ties 100ct for $5.99 and free shipping if you have Prime.

These are just the first two products I searched for. You may find even better options.

Lowes.com also has 100ct ties for $5-10 range. If you want just one bag and your local Lowe's is on the way for your daily commute it still may be cheaper. One 100ct bag of the standard plastic ties will last you a long time even if you're constantly reorganizing, cutting and tossing them.

The standard cheapo plastic ones are even reusable if you push small (electronics size) flat blade in the back of the clasp, so a single 20ct bag could last you indefinitely.

If it's going to be hidden away and you're ok with adhesive on that part of the cabinet, then one option is zip tie anchors. Beyond that, there are Nail-In options and cable clips. Amazon is your friend!

Maybe an Ikea cabinet to go under the desk, you can take two legs off and prop the desk on two legs on one side and the cabinet on the other, that will help with moving things off your desk (electrical tape, Xbox game, controller)

Leave a little space between your desk and the wall and either get a cable tray or check and see if your surge protector has slots on the bottom that you can use to hang it off screws.

Braided sleeving and velco strips will work wonders, or use a combination of the two depending on how much you have to deal with. It's on you to hide all of it behind your monitor stand for minimal appearance, but with a little work it'll look great!

Highly recommend this, it is very effective. I did the same thing, though seems my cord was more expensive:

They make reusable ones. I use them around my house. Here's a link to some.

FLOORING BASE: 2 layers

LAYER ONE: TARP
i do the same with a tarp on the floor, but i fold the tarp about a foot up the ex-pen walls to contain dust, fur, etc...inside the pen. you can cut and fold the tarp as necessary to make sure the floor is covered. i use either zip-ties or clips to secure the sides of the tarp.

1. there are all sorts of sizes of tarps on amazon. i usually go big and cut to size. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ODH2WY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
   
   
2. re-usable zip ties are easy to tie/un-tie as you change configurations. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008OC2EE6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
   
   
3. bull dog clips fit perfectly between the ex-pen bars to clip items.
   https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RMO85E/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
   
   LAYER TWO: CARPET TILES
   
   i have two pairs of bonded bunnies and one pair will aggressively chew, dig and claw their way through almost EVERYTHING i give them, but i've had pretty good success with FLOR tiles. the backing is a tough rubber with a soft low pile carpet on top that they can't dig through. they will nip at the corners but stop once they find it's too tough to chew.
   
   if you shop at the FLOR online outlet, you can get 20in x 20in tiles for $3 each ($1/tile plus $2/shipping each tile).
   
   https://www.flor.com/carpet-tiles/outlet/random-pattern-tile
   
   i didn't really care what colors or patterns they sent so i took a chance and the selection they sent were actually not too bad (browns and blues).
   
   
4. i lay each tile down next to each other and over the tarp to create a continuous layer of carpet.
   
5. each tile can be cut to size with a box cutter knife if needed.
   
6. individual tiles can be cleaned or thrown away if needed.
   
   hope that helps:)

Definitely recommend a mouse bungee. I personally use of these and place it at the back of my desk. I mostly use it to avoid any drag or friction from the desk to the cable.

I had a similar tangle underneath my work area. you could try something like these:
organizer / tamer to put under the desk,
a box for your surge protector, and
short extenders for power cables to help them all fit in your surge protector

Thank you!! I actually drilled a hole in the desk AND at bottom of my cheap keyboard and pulled the wire through so it wouldn't even pop out the "front" when standing over it.

​

The monitor wires were fished through with tape measure and much patience.

​

Also these little 3m plastic clips help a ton too!

Get some of these clips off of Amazon, they work wonders for cable management.

Here you go pal. Wrap your cords in poly to protect it. Choose preferred size. It's very cheap and comes with plenty to get the job done.

We use it too and are happy with it. The monitor can be set to switch between the cameras (up to 4).
When ours moved to their own room, we mounted the two cameras to the wall, one facing down into each crib. The cables are covered with something like this https://www.amazon.com/D-Line-Raceway-1D3015W-Electrical-Paintable/dp/B077YD9DG6

BTW if you do buy it and the battery seems to stop holding a charge, just take it out for 20-30 minutes and put it back. Usually that fixes it.

They have these things that just stick to your wall to hide cables. I use them for everything.

Protip: get some split loom to tidy all those cables up before they chafe through and burn something out.

OR

Passthrough wallplates and fishing it through the wall. Note that if you go this route you'll likely not meet local firecodes if you send the power cable through it.

A few have said it; but you can get wall cable runs that allow you to paint them or match to current wall color with standard colors. Amazon; D-Line Cable Raceway

You're right i'm waaaaaay off my estimated price, it's about half the price i thought it would be.


I'm sorry dude I just gave my opinion on how to easily improve the aesthetic of your setup but you clearly don't really care about it, then again why post on this sub reddit then ?

I’m using these for my desk (though they’re a little short). However, these (or something like these) would probably be a bit better and look more elegant for TV setups.

This thing is neat, but kinda spendy.
https://www.standdesk.co/desk-cable-management-taco/

Pair it with some cut-to-length cord sleeves around the wires leading up into view and you got a real clean look.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FW3GTXB/

Oh crap didn't realize it went all the way back. Ignore my suggestion about the monitor stand (unless you want to drill a hole in your desk..)

Actuallyyy that would be one way to get the cables out of site. drill a hole behind your monitor.. But if you didn't want to do that you could try a cable sleeve like this maybe? Just run it along the bottom edge? https://www.amazon.com/Alex-Tech-10ft-Protector-Sleeving/dp/B07FW3GTXB/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=cable+sleeve&qid=1550156179&s=gateway&sr=8-6

Also the fact of the desk means my RGB idea wouldn't work either. But you could put them on the back of your monitor and that could be cool. I literally just bought these and am very happy with the qualilty. They worked better than the first ones I got from Wall mart...https://www.amazon.com/PANGTON-VILLA-Led-Strip-Lights/dp/B072QWJRBS/ref=lp_18423905011_1_1?srs=18423905011&ie=UTF8&qid=1550156289&sr=8-1

If you want to spend some money in wall wire managing would like nice!

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07H9DDP1X/ref=sspa_mw_detail_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Otherwise atleast a cable concealer

https://www.amazon.com/One-Cord-Channel-Cable-Concealer-Management/dp/B07D8WVJWF/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?keywords=cable+concealer&qid=1568519598&s=gateway&sprefix=cable+conceal&sr=8-5

Cord concealer is another option, I use this to hide the cables for surrounds and anywhere else. You can run it just above the floorboards. Try pulling a bit from the corner of the carpet. It may make a ripping sound but it's not tearing just pulling off the little tacks. It may be different though if it's glued down.

https://www.amazon.com/One-Cord-Channel-Cable-Concealer-Management/dp/B07D8WVJWF/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=cord+concealer&qid=1562343028&s=electronics&sr=1-3

The easy solution would just be a box and a sticky back wire trough. It isnt as pretty as some more intrusive fixes but it would be easy and cheap and look around 300% more professional.

Put all the splices in a box with a blank face and have the wires come out straight into the wire trough that sticks to the wall until they dive back into the drywall. The troughs even come with 90's to do the turn.

Something like this,

https://www.amazon.com/Stageek-Management-Concealer-Organizer-Computers/dp/B07FFN2HN6

you can get them in different colors. I use white to conceal my VR setup base station power cables.

Or you could start cutting open the drywall to put the cables in and patch it up. You'll still probably need a box to access those connections though, I'm not sure what code is for that stuff.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FFN2HN6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I used these cable raceways which come with their own adhesive on the back.

This is what we got for the cable management, in black.
And this is the foot rest.

Ok I'm pretty sure it's this one from amazon

Ahhhhh OP. My eyes.

Ok, so here's my advice as I just went through something similar recently. I had to run a Cat6a cable into my room as I wasn't getting the speeds I wanted over wifi because the walls in my apartment are plaster so it cuts the speed like 50%.

There are some great tools out there that I think could help you manage the cabling in the room, but there are also some simpler tricks as well.

You have a ton of empty space on the bottom of your tv stand. There's a few options you could go here. You could get some nice wooden or storage inserts like [these] (https://www.amazon.com/MobileVision-Storage-Durable-Handles-Stackable/dp/B076CWK7R5/ref=sr_1_15?keywords=wooden+storage+box&qid=1565625552&s=gateway&sr=8-15) but bigger. I cant remember exactly where I got mine from but I believe it was Bed Bath and Beyond, they're more square and slightly bigger. There's a ton of options for those, that way you fill that empty space with usable storage, which will also help you hide the wires behind the tv stand.

The other recommendation I have to go with that is a power strip on the floor behind those storage boxes, that way everything can plug into the strip, and only one plug will need to run to the wall outlet rather then multiple.

If you didn't want to go that way, there are these super useful adhesive cable organizers that I used for my Cat cables. Now I'd recommend measuring beforehand, the length you need, and also how thick your cables are so you can figure out how big of an organizer you'll need.

But these are the ones I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004W3ZQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

These should be ok, but again make sure you double check if you need a thicker one. The great thing about these is that they can be painted to match your wall, personally I just stuck them on the molding near the floor so it looks like it's a part of it.

It definitely doesn't look that unorganized, and personally, I think your easiest fix would be putting some organizers under the tv stand so it blocks the view of all those cables. Because you don't have a ton of cables to begin with either, just an amp, tv, and playstation and a cable running from the left side as well.

• What kind of cable? Go wireless?
  
• Follow existing trim lines.
  
• Put on floor beneath rug or cord concealer (https://www.amazon.com/Belkin-6ft-Cord-Concealer-Grey/dp/B00006HVLW).
  
• String it across the ceiling wrapped in x-mas lights (just kidding).

If you don't have any other options but to run those cables across the door like that. I have used this in the past with good results.

>In between the couch and television is a walkway leading to the bedroom

That sounds like the worst idea ever.

In your situation, I would probably just run a cord along the floor and conceal/protect it with something like this.

OOOh. Icky. Ya don't do that. Although you might be able to get just a little cable concealer. That would still look better than hanging it.

If you can't run them in the wall, zip tie them together and cover them with something that looks like this.

Belkin 6ft. Cord Concealer (Grey) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00006HVLW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_ASA9wb7S69B5M

Best option is run them in the wall. All you need is a drywall saw, a couple low voltage plates, and maybe a glow rod if its an exterior wall.

something like these?

http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-6ft-Cord-Concealer-Grey/dp/B00006HVLW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427227557&sr=8-1&keywords=floor+cable+cover

Looks ok but gluing wires to anything would give me anxiety. Not to mention if one falls off the glue, you have to get the whole glue gun set up back out, plug it in, wait for to heat up, and glue it back. I'd recommend something like this.

This stuff works awesome. Comes in a variety of sizes and a few colors. You can hide all the cables and still pull slack out when you need to easily. Just screw it up to the bottom side of the shelve.

https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-AD2X2-2x2-Inch-Wiring-Raceway/dp/B00008VFAP

You can go a number of ways with the Twist/Cable ties. Twist ties seem to imply those bendable wire ties, which I'm not too fond of since they can become undone.

There are these trusty zip ties, which are strong and handy if your case comes with holes to thread the ties through. You can also cut the excess tie for a more appealing appearance (not so with twist ties).

I also like velcro ties for bigger cables and also for cable management outside your tower (mice and keyboard cords, power cables, speaker cables, etc). They're reusable, and it's easy to add cables to a bundle without having to undo the entire existing bundle.

If you're getting an SSD, you also might want to get a 2.5" SSD tray if your case doesn't come with one.

As for tools, precision screwdrivers are handy for small screws and for reaching deep into the case. An alternative to magnetic tip screwdrivers are long nosed pliers.

Can you post an album of your setup and maybe under/around your desk? I put a lot of stuff under the desk that I dont nessicarly need to see all the time (USB hub, External hard drive)

Some general things that will help are Velcro Ties or for more permanant situations cable ties.
Also depending on the size or weight of your USB hub some mounting tape may help to keep it in place on your desk.

Use something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Zip-Tie-Mount-25-Pack/dp/B000BSJHLE


to attach these: https://www.amazon.com/Nippon-Labs-CT-4MINI-BK-Cable-Pieces/dp/B008TVFHXC/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1486365120&sr=1-4&refinements=p_n_feature_keywords_two_browse-bin%3A7065319011

Use a special tool to install them so you do not leave sharp edges. Improperly installed will scratch at a minimum you and can draw blood:

https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Tie-Gun-Installation-Tool/dp/B00B52NYNM/ref=sr_1_1?s=mobile-apps&ie=UTF8&qid=1486365283&sr=8-1&keywords=zip+tie+gun

You can use this document as a guideline on how to do the cabling.

https://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/codeq/doctree/NSTD87394A.pdf

I would try to run all cables that I could on the scope itself. I would also pay attention to adding extra length of wires across parts that move, twist, rotate.
I would definitely try to route the cables in a bundle together as much as possible.

Just to piggyback on the discussion of cable management, these are a very handy item to have in the toolkit. I use them often, including inside pc cases.

https://www.amazon.com/Ziotek-Zip-Tie-Mount-Pack/dp/B000BSJHLE

These things are also super useful if your case isn't designed with zip-tie points. You don't have to get them from Amazon, I found them at my local Menards, it's a couple bucks for 100 of 'em.

https://www.amazon.com/Cord-Protector-CritterCord-Protect-Hazardous/dp/B000EH2I5O is good for cords (also micro cord for usb cables). Gl with the rest, lol. They smell a lot at first but it dimishes (for you) as they air out.

I tend to bundle my cords with VELCRO ties then use U-Nails on the unit so I can run the VELCRO through the u nail and keep things from getting loose.

I put one of these around the end of all the cords right next to the male plugs and then just wrap them up for storage when I'm done. Seems to work great.

Here are many different styles. Some are literally 3 dollars.

http://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Circle-cable-clips-100pcs/dp/B0019R6SO0/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1407070815&sr=1-1&keywords=nail+clips

I just ran some cabling in my rented apartment(can't run in-wall lines) and used [these] (https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Circle-cable-clips-100pcs/dp/B0019R6SO0/ref=sr_1_3/145-2377095-5953769?ie=UTF8&qid=1505711456&sr=8-3&keywords=monoprice+cable+nails), with some patience and cables the same color as your wall, you can barely see the run.

If you know of a store with some kind of clearance junk isle (wal mart, target, k mart, etc), dig around in it. You may be surprised what you find. I found these for $2. Blinking they should get around 150 hours battery time, if I recall. I put the red one on the back of my helmet and put the white one away for when I find another place to put it. Then I bought two more lights in a pack, a head and a tail, for $12. None too powerful, but tail lights don't need to be, and in my neighborhood I'm never too far away from a street light unless I really try.

If you have the right kind of helmet, you may find a literal headlight pretty easy to macguyver out of an otherwise cheap light not made for mounting. I've done this. In september (?) I got this pack of 3 headlamps for only $8+tax at a store. They're more than bright enough, and the adjustability is fabulous. Using just two zip ties I managed to fasten one securely to my giro venti. I love using it, all the reflective stuff for 40 yards in front of my lights up clear as day. Stop signs, license plates, reflectors, lane paint, glass and sand on the ground. If I set it to blink it actually looks like the stop signs and license plates are self-lit and blinking. And at such a cheap price I'm not too worried if something happens and I break/lose it.

So there you have it. $22+tax and I got seven lights, 4 in service at any time.

pro-tip: since it's april, april shower time, you should think about water-proofing your lights using pieces of spare inner tube. It holds nice and tight on all my lights' seams, and is easily dealt with when time to change batteries.

• Cable management cord tube, use scissors to cut it into multiple parts.
  
  
• Get a new surge protector, something like this. It will sit flat and you now can plug everything into it.
  
  
• Want to get super cable management happy? Buy a bucket of cable tie mounts. After you have consoles and other devices in place figure out the best way to run the cables along the back between them then stick some cable tie mounts down and use a releasable cable tie, don't use standard cable ties unless you are going to leave some slack for cutting easier later without risking damage to your cords
  
  
• You're already using one CD portfolio holder, why not get another large one and dedicate it entirely to games. If you do that and put the empty cases away in a box you could then put other things on the upper shelf like controllers
  
  

In regards to your cable question on Imgur,

Ikea Signum if you can fit it. Put the power strip and all of the cables in it and the only wire that will be visible under the desk is the power strip to the outlet.

For the monitor cables, you can get some adhesive zip tie downs and stick them on the back of the monitors to run the cables to the center monitor and then run those down the back of the mounting arm.

I mounted mine under my gunwales using the adhesive tape backing and a cable tie mount every few feet. Holds well but hard to tell if it will work for your situation without seeing pics of the boat. I leave mine on the red setting because it apparently doesn't impact your night vision the way other colors can. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003L16ZYU/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1498686335&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=cable+tie+mount&dpPl=1&dpID=31jbcFP3ezL&ref=plSrch

Thanks! It's just your run of the mill cable wrap. I think I got it off Amazon, better looking than the electrical tape the stock harness has.

https://www.amazon.com/TechFlex-General-Purpose-2-inch-Braided/dp/B004UHQMYW/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1527020882&sr=8-9&keywords=cable+wrap

I'm using these....

HMDI

USB

Then for the sake of asthetics, I wrapped them both in this to keep the wires together when routing.

10 foot for each, which has worked for me, but 15 might give a bit more flexibility depending on the location of your PC. But part of the benefit of the hanging cables is that as long as your cable can reach diagonally to the opposite corner of your space, (front to back, left to right, and top to bottom. Diagonally in 3 dimensions), then it should be able to reach anywhere in your space. The stock Rift cable can reach diagonally across my space, and my extension cables are just getting my cable to its "start" position in the corner.

Keep in mind these cables don't have a ton of strength, so I recommend getting a hefty command strip hook to statically fix your wire near the ceiling to take a lot of the weight, then the hook cables can split the weight from there as it droops towards your head naturally.

This turned into a bit of a novel but I hope my "lessons learned" are helpful haha

I know what you are referencing but don't want to search for the post. These are the clip/hook things being used though: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Clips-Management-Nightstand-Accessories/dp/B00NVKHLP8/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=cable+clips&qid=1566594164&s=gateway&sr=8-1

No problem.

The wire on the g403 seems to be a braided cable so it’s not good news. However there have been instances of batches of G502 mice have bad cables, so it may just be your model, but there’s no way to be sure.

However like I said before there are many Logitech mice with the exact same shape. So you can go wireless if you’d like with the g603/g703. From what your issue I’d say you could remedy the cable drag with a mouse bungee or some cable clips.

There's a ton of companies who sell mouse bungees and usually they're pretty good. Though I'd recommend you check out reviews first since some are too lightweight or gimmicky. I personally use the Zowie camade if you got questions.

Alternatives :
I've seen people use clips like this in place of a mouse bungee: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Clips-Management-Nightstand-Accessories/dp/B00NVKHLP8

Or you can just get a generic brandless bungee which people have said are fine : https://www.amazon.com/Generic-Mouse-Bungee-Management-Holder/dp/B01ASXL0PW

If you don't want a mouse bungee to be to big or noticeable you could also use something like this : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G1WD13M

put monitors on one side, tower on the other. Or put the monitors on one side, tower in the middle, and controllers/headset/mic/etc. on the other side. I'm using these to hold power strips, it's only going to work for the long skinny ones though. IKEA has one that can hold a wider variety of sizes. Based on the shadow and graininess of the pic I am guessing you only have a ceiling light? You could add a lamp on one side and one of these on the other. If you want to continue with the green color scheme, you could get one of these orb things and an rgb led strip

I used these two of Amazon to make all my cables disappear and for pretty cheap 30$. Both products are amazing I've for no issues with either one. Good luck hope this helped.

You can grab a J-tray to put under the desk to help manage all of the slack in the cables. I have these under my desk and they work really well.

I wanted to share a couple pictures of the desk set up and also some of the accessories I purchased. My expirience with Fully was great. I got the Jarvis3 with Walnut veneer in a72x60 size. The frame was delivered about 3 days later and the desk top about a week after purchase. The quality is everything I expected! This thing is heavy and stable at all heights. I love this desk!

Accessories
I decided to get the keyboard tray and accessories from Amazon. The keyboard tray is probably going back because it is difficult to move back and forth.

These do wonders for me. I have had to swap out the adhesive on them with this but damn does it work great. I also use the same adhesive to hold my power strips and power blocks to the underside of all my desks and tables. It is supposed to hold 30 lbs of pressure so it should have plenty of stick.

Okay, so, here is everything I used:

Light bar 28" flood/spot

Mount to 1" roof basket bar

Wire Clips

Wire harness, this comes with the bar if you choose the package. I ran the switch through the firewall wire grommet by cutting a hole in the grommet (BE CAREFUL NOT TO CUT ANY WIRES). The wire that plugs into the car was run under the hood and up the window, secured by the clips. I followed this guys guide, u/DauphDaddy He didn't use the same harness but its the same idea. Hope this helps!!

For your TV or a lot of your cables in general, get some cheap cable wrap like the kind linked below. You'd be surprised how much cleaner a single bundled wire looks. Here's my
Desk. Didn't want to cut a another hole to run the wires and the cords weren't long enough to go through the exciting one for the tv. This was only going to be temporary by it doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would.

Copapa 21M 68 Ft PE Black Polyethylene Spiral Wire Wrap Tube PC Manage Cable 6mm 1/ 4'' for Computer Cable, Car Cable (Dia 6MM-Length21M, Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYF1GDV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_lxwZAbGNXWYH4

Spiral cable wrap. You can find it all over the place. Home Depot, MicroCenter, and Amazon for example. Out of curiosity I looked it up on Amazon and it's not too expensive. I opted for 1/4in(6mm) personally. You can measure your bundle to see what all you need. I'd offer, but I have a lot of aftermarket stuff so my diameter will be off from stock.

If you want to pretty up the wiring a little bit you can use this wire-wrap:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LYF1GDV/

It has the benefit of being able to spiral around your wires in-place instead of needing to slip over a severed wire. If it's not the exact same stuff that's on the extruder wires it's pretty dang close.

I like stuff like this, but you could go with anything really.

I got all that from a comment that I can't find from a thread months back. The commenter also suggested Wire Wrap which I also use and has worked well. It did take forever to get it on, though, and there was a lot leftover.

Also, other people here have mentioned having to turn off the Vive Link to get it working, I just unplug the Power Supply Adapter from the Vive Link every time I'm done with it and that seems to work. I also disconnect the HDMI/USB/Power Supply Adapter from the computer, the Odyssey+ and the power supply as well when I'm done, instead of leaving anything plugged in.

Please.

Use cable raceways

organize your cables... not just the TV

That's not something you would typically see, a better solution is to run a cable channel to hold the wires and keep then concealed. If you decide to go with the tape method, use something like masking tape or even painters tape, otherwise you risk peeling the paint off the wall.

When the cables absolutely cannot go inside the walls/above the ceilings (attic)/under the floors (basement), I use Wiremold. It adheres to walls pretty well, and you could probably paint it, too.

Just get some wiremold

There's also this stuff if it helps. Not sure what the opinion is on it around here.

But it's not gonna look at that good and good luck getting it to stick to the ground and stay

I bought Panduit off amazon and screwed it to the bottom of my desk in the back works great.

No problem, yeah it definitely helps to see it before you buy it. I never adjust the legs to standing. Not saying you can't, but it would be a huge hassle, as you'd have to adjust each leg individually. However, I'm a tall guy, so I like that I can make this desk a LOT taller than any desk at OfficeDepot.

For cable management, I bought:

http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-AD2X2-2x2-Inch-Wiring-Raceway/dp/B00008VFAP/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1456856627&sr=8-11&keywords=cable+channel

and attached it to the bottom with some short wood screws. It does the job ok, but there are probably cheaper options, not to mention I didn't measure and had to cut it to size with a hacksaw as it was WAY longer than I thought it'd be. Does an OK job of hiding cables though, and pretty sturdy. I believe ikea sells something similar for pretty cheap though. Maybe look while you're there:

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/departments/workspaces/16195/

It’s called cable duct. This is just a piece left over from a job at work. You could get it on Amazon. There’s various brands, you could sometimes find a scrap piece on eBay.

I have 200 feet of speaker wire and 100 feet of electrical wire I can't run in walls in a rental apartment. Here is what I use: Square Conduit and Corner Conduit

I have a P5 mounted to the wall. I use this mounted to the wall running down to my desk: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00008VFAP/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That way I can have all the cables exit the channel at the places they need to plug in, I really like the setup a lot.

I use the StarTech cable raceway and it has done absolute wonders for my cable management. I have a sit/stand desk with no back, so having cables hanging down from my desk was not an option. So I got this raceway and attached it to the underside of my desk using some Scotch mounting tape. Some of my notes:

• Made of soft plastic, so I was able to cut it with wire cutters to fit the length of my desk
  
• Slots along the entire length, so cables can come in from all directions
  
• Lots of space and I still have plenty of room after having all my cables stuffed in there. If your desk is decently long, it shouldn't have trouble storing a modern laptop power brick
  
• Low profile and sits unseen behind my desk's crossbar support
  

• The top is meant to slide on, so if your desk has sides to obstruct it, you'll have to snap the top onto it. It's doable, just requires some work and patience
  
  Here's a link to the raceway: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00008VFAP/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
  Here's a video using the raceway: https://youtu.be/C0d1LHQpauI
  
  Good luck!

I wanted to use some small zip ties (kinda like these) and thread them through the vents on the back of the TV to "hook" the lightstrip. Turns out my vents are too small/close together.

I just ended up using masking tape. Looks terrible but it's in the back so I never see it.

Don't believe the price on their website, by the way. It's like $25 bucks on Amazon.

Grab that box, and get yourself some:

• Cable Wrap
  
• Velcro Strips
  
• Wire Ties
  
• Wire Tie Mounts
  
  ...and you're golden. My entertainment center is super tidy.

Hey man. It really doesn't take much. :)

Just order a pack of 8" zip ties from Amazon (about $3) and some Velcro strips for $5. Just bundling your cables together goes a LONG way.

But don't worry. If you still want to be on /r/shittybattlestations even after your cables look all nice, you can just mount your hard drives by duct taping the shit out of them to your case. A shittybattlestations masterpiece!

You generally use zip ties and velcro bands to hold the cables down. You probably need some glue-on mounting points since it's a wood case, and holes won't look very good.

What /u/Cloo159 said...
>Put this under your desk, best $10 you can spend on cable management.

or these with zip ties

http://www.amazon.com/Ziotek-Zip-Tie-Mount-Pack/dp/B000BSJHLE.

I like the flexibility of the zip tie mounts. You can get very creative

You have the following options.

A. Conceal

You have open backed shelving. Add a backing (posterboard, painted MDF / fiberboard, fabric, etc... attached to the back of the shelf) and cut / drill pass through holes near the location of each shelf to pass the cables through.

B. Cable Management

Use the following very inexpensive products (which are also available at Home Depot / Lowes) to route / organize the cables along the back of the shelves and vertical portions. You should choose the color based on the color of the cables and what is being mounted to. In this case, I would use black.

• Velcro Cable Ties
  
• Zip Ties
  
• Zip Tie Mounts
  
• Cable Clips
  
  C. Both A and B
  
  See above.

I use this inside my case. It comes with mounting hardware making it really easy to route however you want. It also has 3 brightness levels and an on/off switch.

For backlighting behind my monitors/desk, I use something like this. I typically only use a single color, but I opted for a version with color changing LEDs. The adhesive on these things sucks, so if you purchase one, I suggest getting some of these and some zipties to mount it.

I have that same desk! The keyboard tray sucks and it also scratches easily.

I have my wires twist tied to the back using plastic tie mounts right along the top section. It makes it look a lot nicer, for like 3 bucks!

Its a stick on ziptie anchor, you can get those at home depot or here http://www.amazon.com/Ziotek-Zip-Tie-Mount-Pack/dp/B000BSJHLE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1421853241&sr=8-3&keywords=zip+tie+anchor

[Cable/zip tie mounts] (https://www.amazon.com/Zip-Tie-Mount-25-Pack/dp/B000BSJHLE). You can find them lots of places, I got a pack of a hundred of them and a pack of a hundred zip ties for about 10$. You can get ones with screw holes or adhesive. The adhesive ones works great.

Post you're build on /r/CableManagement they will help you out and probably tell you how to fix it, also theres alot of info in the subreddit and it's a nice community!

I've never used any myself, though - I adopted a 7-month-old kitten last December and I used a form of fear-aversion training to teach her to stay off my computer desk and away from my shit-tangle of wires. I also used this method to train her to stay out of the kitchen and off the kitchen table, but it involves catching the cat "in the act" of doing the unwanted behavior, so you'd have to see if your new little buddy would chew on the wires in the first place before using the method.

I sent my ticket. Turns out I haven't passed my warranty on the mouse so I should be fine. And I also just researched and found out that this exists, and I NEED IT GIVE ME 50 FEET OF IT (and also geek squad protection....)

I stumbled upon them while googling for local stores with stock.

https://www.amazon.com/Cord-Protector-CritterCord-Protect-Hazardous/dp/B000EH2I5O

I have always enjoyed velcro cable ties. They can be found at your local office supply store and come in a few different colors including black. The best part about them is their reusable unlike zip ties after you cut them.

Get the stainless steel, no doubt about it, and also definitely do forward sealing. You may want to consider flow control, but that is a bit more of a personal preference. I really like my intertaps, and really like the ball lock adapter, makes bottling from a keg really easy using a DIY picnic tap poor mans beer gun. This also works for growlers, just need a larger bung.

Some things I appreciate in my build:

• All the lines are color coded at both ends using velcro cable ties
  
• Dual pressure regulator, means I can have serving pressure go to a manifold, and a separate pressure that I can set high for quick carbing, or lower for bottling from a keg. You can also consider secondary regulators, which look like a manifold but have a regulator for each line
  
  I haven't found too many things I wish I did differently, but I'm still learning all the right procedures. I would recommend buying a both liquid and gas line in bulk, it's nice to be able to replace and not worry about if you have it.

Sure. 90% of it was putting an Ikea Signum underneath the desk towards the back to carry all the cables. http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/10200254/

I also used some 3M dual lock Velcro to stick the powerboard to the underside of the desk, up off the floor. https://www.amazon.com/3M-Dual-Lock-Reclosable-Fastener/dp/B007OXK1AK

Finally, I used a number of small Velcro cable ties, kind of like these, to keep cables together. https://www.amazon.com/VELCRO-Brand-ONE-WRAP-Management-Multi-color/dp/B00144CABS

If it looks stupid and it works its not stupid.

But unless you are not allowed to use nails, I would suggest using cable clips. It would look a little cleaner and should hold up longer than duct tape.

For example:

https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Circle-cable-clips-100pcs/dp/B0019R6SO0

They also make Adhesive versions which could look cleaner without the need of nails..

Run an Ethernet Cable to you room. Then get a 8 Port Ethernet switch and plug everything you can into it.

don't use tape, that's cheap. use these https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Circle-cable-clips-100pcs/dp/B0019R6SO0

It's really easy and cheap to run an ethernet cable around your house, too, even if you're not into drilling walls. I had to run a coax and an ethernet cable down the hall in my apartment and I just attached them to the ceiling with these cable clips. If the ethernet cable wasn't black on a white wall I bet you'd never notice them up there. Even still the white coax cable hides most of the black.

A high-quality CAT5e or CAT6 cable and some wall clips is like $40 tops. I got this $18 75 foot flat ethernet cable from monoprice through ebay, a 100 foot coax cable for like $11 on ebay, paid $4 for those clips on Amazon, and that was it. Both major kinds of cabling reaching both sides of the house, barely visible, for $33.

It won't affect the power through the cables. As/u/roj2323 mentions, it will be pretty nasty. Get some zip ties on Amazon. Here is 100 of them for less than a dollar.

These Zip ties help quite a bit in organizing cables, otherwise power cables go all over the place.

Completely unsolicited suggestion - Cable tie mounts to route the wires.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003L16ZYU/

You sticky these where you want to run the wires, then you zip-tie the wires to the mounts, then cut off the zip ties tails.

Underneath my desk i have 2 ikea signums holding all my cables, and if i need to route the cables somewhere specific like behind my monitor I use some sort of zip tie mounting plate together with zip tie's of course! Just take your time and route the cables however you like them.
zip tie mounting plate: http://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Cable-mounts-25x25-100pcs/dp/B003L16ZYU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1457803967&sr=8-1&keywords=zip+tie+mount

Quick and dirty way would be to take excess cabling and just tape it to the back of that wood. The better way to do it though is to buy those adhesive tie down points to route your cables.

Something like this.

i would start playing with him more often and maybe getting him a cat scratcher or cat tree that he can chew on freely. otherwise, i would invest in something to cover your wires, like this.

What about routing the other cables along the power strip to the outlet and using a sleeve to cover all the cables? Maybe something like this: https://www.amazon.com/TechFlex-General-Purpose-2-inch-Braided/dp/B004UHQMYW/ref=sr_1_8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1511982098&sr=1-8&keywords=sleeve+for+cables

It's tough to get rid of all cables but you can get a ton of cables through those.
Word of advice when using them though... when you get them to size they will fray, to prevent that use a lighter to melt the edges, melt about a quarter of an inch off.

Can't see why not. I've used heat shrink on all sorts of electrical wires. Might make them noticeably stiffer and harder to maneuver though depending on the quality/thickness of the heat shrink.

Could try this too

Or this

Yeah works great, though the cable is REALLY thick. My only complaint is the power extension cable says it is 10', but it is actually about 2 inches shorter than the HDMI and USB cable which makes it slightly a pain to plug in. Other than that, no issues. Here is everything I ordered:

You're dumb.

Get the zip ties you can reuse, therefore they wouldn't be classified as restraints.

Edit: I mean how can they be classified as restraints if you can undo them, right?

https://www.amazon.com/Bluecell-Releasable-Reusable-Organization-Management/dp/B008OC2EE6

Personally, I chose these over Velcro

I felt like Velcro loses its stick after awhile so these can be used and undone without really worrying about wear. I don’t care too much if the longer part of the tie is sticking out, but if you do, you can cut just a little bit after the connection and still have a reusable zip tie that isn’t too noticeable. I’m no expert, but the ties have been a lifesaver for cable management for me when the Velcro ones failed.

>no cutting

Such a typical redditor, commenting without even watching the video ^^/s

But seriously there are plenty of (intentinally) reusable ones.

Cable clips from Amazon then. Mount power strip to wall or back of desk. That don't work, you might want to look into getting a new desk haha. I mounted mine with command strips.

Maybe this kind of thing? Or a coiled cable? But no one uses coiled cables on here.

I don't think they have a specific name. If you search for cable management on AliExpress (or similar sites) these always came up when I tried. Found them using the same method on Amazon, though I had to scroll a bit further. https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Clips-Management-Nightstand-Accessories/dp/B00NVKHLP8/ref=zg_bs_11042051_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=MGT20QBPQNS35116TYYW

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NVKHLP8

Are cheap and work well.

Lure it away with clips...

*This got me thinking, there should be a r/cordmanagement. My place is a shitshow of cables and need inspiration...

Ah see what you mean.

At first I was going to recommend a usb hub or port replicator but I dont think that would really solve anything. I think your best bet for managing your cables would be to use cable organizers. It should neaten up your desk a bit.

Perhaps use one of these up top and on the sides of your desk.

Then on the bottom for any excess you can try these cablox things. They are a bit pricey so, if you want to go the budget route, you can always use the adhesive squares along with zip ties to mount the cables under your desk.

​

Hope that helps a bit. Good luck.

I used this :https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NTX057S

and these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NVKHLP8

https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=3.5mm+Male+to+Female+Auxiliary+Stereo+Audio+Cable+4+feet

Since mine is not longer in stock..

I've got these mounted to my desk. Not fully enclosed, but ended up being clean enough for me.

Tape or screw the power strip to the bottom of the desk and add cable trays (I have these) to the bottom of the desk so you have somewhere to tuck any extra length. Use cable clips of some sort (like these or these or these) to keep cable runs tidy and in place. If you have cables that you need to bundle together or keep folded, use reusable cable ties like this and avoid using zip ties since they're single-use and can damage cables if they're over-tightened.

If you have cables that you might want to remove from time to time, like for peripherals, then you should avoid bundling them with everything else. Might seem obvious, but I thought I'd throw it out there since I've made that mistake before with my keyboard and mouse.

Hope this helps.

If you're able to attach something like this | https://www.amazon.com/WireTamer-Cable-Management-Tray-Black/dp/B01BVYW7UY/ref=sr_1_8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1485910978&sr=1-8&keywords=cable+raceway | to your desk then you would be able hide all the cables on the underside of the desk and you would also be able to place your power strip in it depending on the size. If I was you then I would orient the desktop so that the cables coming from the back are facing the wall but I completely understand if you want to display the inside of your system , so if you're going to keep it in that orientation then I would also get some cable sleeving of some sort such as | https://www.amazon.com/Bluelounge-SB-BL-Cable-Director-Black/dp/B00MXC4T7S/ref=pd_sim_229_55?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=WPPWJ0E7AQ1CCYKYZ2JF |

Yes some are rolled up and tied together. I think most of them are a decent length so I don't need to extend em. I'll look for that IKEA thing in a bit but what I have so far is this from Amazon that works but I think is a bit short, though it came with two. I'll the try the mic position, looks like a good spot.

These work great along with velcro straps-

Looks like just generic cable sleeves. Here's one on Amazon

electric tape is cheap, you can get a lot of it, and any sticky residue is minimal. I also think it is made in a way to be bitter so rodents don't chew on wires. should work for cats too. otherwise, you can get some of this from amazon. or some combination of the two. I would personally avoid using zip ties as it can be hard to get them tight without potentially damaging wires.

>I think Build 3 would meet my needs

Seems like a good build other than the PSU of dubious quality and the case that doesn't have good quality, airflow or conveniences to build in.

>Will this build come with everything I need to assemble (minus screwdriver)?

Yes.

>I also need wifi with my computer. Is that easy to pick out?

That can either come integrated in the motherboard or be bought separately in a PCIE card or USB dongle.

>Is the main issue that they likely use crappy power supply and motherboard that might fail after a few years?

Yes, and also that their quality and performance can be beaten or matched with the same price or lower if building.

>I assume I have access to a Microcenter but I'm not really sure what they are.

The locations are listed over here. If you're near one, that'd be nice because they have some good deals on hardware.

>My cat likes to chew through small cords so anything wireless is better.

Unrelated, but something like this might help

>I have no plans to upgrade piece by piece in the future.

Are you sure? That's a big selling point of building, might save you quite a bit in the future

>I'm assuming I would need to be able to get it on a flash drive though to be able to install on the new computer?

Yes. A DVD will work too since you want an optical drive.

>I'm assuming it's easy to find a decent guide to follow for assembly and that I don't need a static electricity bracelet.

Yes, there are many videos on youtube on how to do it and they're pretty much the same, because there's not much to it. You don't need the bracelet, but just as caution, during the process, don't pet your cat or build on a carpet, that could build up static electricity.

Here's a build that matches the performance of the first $879 prebuilt and also includes a decent IPS monitor:

Here's the kind of performance you can expect in many games.

But that was going with as cheap as possible as per your preference, we can increase performance and generally add a lot until up to $1000:

- Swap the RX 580 for a GTX 1660. Now the performance nearly matches the $999 prebuilt.

- Change the SSD to a much faster 512GB NVMe SSD. (Perfromance gains are not noticeable over a regular SATA SSD like the one in this build and in these prebuilts, just a neat technology that's not much more expensive, maybe an extra $15 or so). You mentioned large HDD and SSD, but said you wouldn't go past 500GB, but well, in any case a 2TB HDD of the same model (Seagate Barracuda) can be bought for not much more.

- Pick a bigger monitor

Let me know if you have any additional questions and will decide to go with building.

Of course :) I recently bought these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07FFN2HN6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and find them quite useful but I don't know if they're available outside the UK. One thing to bear in mind is to make sure if you have a wired headset or mouse that it has enough space. I solved this by letting my headset cord loose behind the drawers and it's working really well so far!

https://www.amazon.com/Stageek-Management-Concealer-Organizer-Computers/dp/B07FFN2HN6/

I have a surface dock, a netgear 8 port switch, 4 port USB switcher, and power strip. I screwed each side of a zip tie to hold up the power supplies. I have plans to add an hdbaset reciever.

Used this where possible: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Stageek-Management-Concealer-Organizer-Computers-9x39cm/dp/B07FFN2HN6/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=1JVBXD0W996ZE3ZVWAQC

You didn’t state a budget so I’m just gonna suggest these for more room/ cleaner work area: Bigger desk (at least 55” in width), monitor mounts, cable raceways/cable box for all of your cable management needs.

For a desk I would suggest looking into something like an IKEA Bekant, the one I linked is the bigger one, 63” x 31”and that should give you more room to work with for textbooks on the desk.

For monitors mounting is best (imo) so you can have that much more room to push stuff alll the way back to take advantage of the depth. This monitor arm Is good.

For cable management I would suggest this raceway. It comes with 9 15” long pieces that you can mount under your desk. I would use some command strips to hold them in place. Use the raceway to feed all your cables through to a cable management box, Something similar to this one, so you can stuff in the excess cables and make it look nicer. Just have the box behind your pc or along on of the desk legs.
NOTE: the IKEA Bekant does come included with a cable management pouch/net under the desk but imo with 2 monitors, a switch, and keyboard it would be too much worse for that little thing.

Ps: you don’t have to use the stuff I listed, there’s always alternatives if you have a question just ask, I’ll see if I can help.

Not bad, stand does not look too heavy to move away from the wall in case you need to make changes. Pro-tips (used to wire AV racks):

• Whenever possible use velcro instead of zipties
  
• Label your cables on each end with a number / letter
  
• Use a raceway to manage a large number of cables
  
  I Like the stand design, works nicely for multiple systems. You can add a metal angle right behind the top trim piece to take out the sag.

Mesh networks are good, but yeah nothing beats getting a house properly wired.

I live in an old farmhouse, so I definitely get wiring complications. If you can't run it under a carpet/rug/baseboard/etc then the best solution I've found is to use cable channels like this: https://www.amazon.com/One-Cord-Channel-Cable-Concealer-Management/dp/B07D8WVJWF and just stick them to the wall/ceiling...

That said, I currently have a projector that has all the wiring held to the wall/ceiling via 3M hooks, so I'm not exactly the most stylistic when it comes to design.

Usually what I do is run the ones behind the monitor down the back of the monitor desk mount, then back behind/under the desk using either cable channels or mountable zip ties, and then buy extensions for any of the cables on amazon if I need them

Eh, it's not that hard when you have such few pieces of equipment that OP has. 2 speakers, 1 monitor, and a desktop. Those are the only wires he has to hide.

​

Mouse and keyboard are wireless, he doesn't have an xlr mic or desk mic, doesn't have a second or third monitor, doesn't have surround sound, doesn't have a UPS, doesn't have an electric desk, etc.. This is all when it starts getting difficult to properly hide the wires.

​

You'd be surprised how easy it is to hide a few wires if you get a couple of these. https://www.amazon.com/One-Cord-Channel-Cable-Concealer-Management/dp/B07D8WVJWF/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1GEFPJTBL558K&keywords=wire+channel+for+wall&qid=1557500835&s=gateway&sprefix=wire+channel%2Csporting%2C162&sr=8-3

Would you be able to run Ethernet to the wall and run a drop there?

Here’s my proposition:

You get an HD pro, or one of the other APs that have an output, ceiling mount that then run Ethernet across the drop ceiling to the wall. You can go behind the wall ideally, but if not, just run Ethernet down the wall in a raceway like this: https://www.amazon.com/One-Cord-Channel-Cable-Concealer-Management/dp/B07D8WVJWF/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=cable+raceway&qid=1557349650&s=gateway&sprefix=cable+ra&sr=8-4

Then put a switch. This is how I’d do it.

> Was thinking about getting a long Ethernet cable and having it run across the ceiling but it would look pretty damn ugly.
