(Part 2) Top products from r/DeskCableManagement

A standing desk would be easy, it sounds like you're describing a mechanical sit-stand desk.

This stuff isn't particularly pretty, but it helps. It might inspire you to find something else that can flexibly bundle your cables together.

String your cable when the desk is fully up, planning carefully so that when the desk comes down, the excess falls where you want it. Be extra careful that the loop can't snag anything while it's slack.

This box/tray fit perfectly, just had to remove the handles and paint it black. Could I have saved money if I had built it myself? Maybe, but it would've taken me days! Then I hung this custom made sign with a hook, and a cheap LED light (gelled blue) inside ties it all together! As an added bonus, this box prevents accidental movement of the desk towards the wall.

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

Since you can't screw anything into the desk, here's what I would do:

Grab some of these while they're on sale

Then grab some 3M Command Strips to hold up some sort of cable raceway like this (Although you can probably find something cheaper than this particular one at Lowes or Home Depot.)

Or you could just buy a few of these

Or a cable box like this. Personally, I'd go with the box and velcro strips, since your tower is so close to the outlet. Unless you plan to relocate it.

But most importantly for college dorm life: 3M command strips are your friend for almost everything.

Thanks! I just use the Premium Amazon Basics Monitor Arm. Seems to work pretty well for me!

Just do what you did before but try again. Make it a little nicer looking if you want. Velcro tape is your friend if you'll need to redo it or take out/add cables. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00006IC2L/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_PmnTDb926W3QT

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!

Agreed

Route the cables through that opening in the back and use a cable box to the power bricks.

For a more clean look, you can also use cable sleeves like this https://www.amazon.com/Management-Sleeve-JOTO-Computer-Entertainment/dp/B015HWXG4M/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=B015HWXG4M&qid=1561342625&s=hi&sr=1-1

well... im 17 so the furniture in here is kinda set in stone till i get my own place in the near future... but yeah i hate all these cords on the floor ill try to wall mount it and get some of those cable clips.... i have these weird... Qknots... so i hope those are alright alternatives to velcro/zipties

Edit : The power strip has holes in the back of it to hang it like a painting sooooo thats cool im going to do that and then use the qknot things to wrap all of the monitor cords and power together... how should i do that like one hdmi/display port + power per qknot... or... what

​

Edit 2 cause i stupid: and then with those cable clips would i only use those for phone cords? cause if yeah that seems kinda like a waste... and like... the oculus cord? could i just leave that hanging do you think that would be fine?

These are what I use and they work great! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005MN2QHK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=AMPVKRRPP4LI5&psc=1

I want to add some sort of cable wrap. What do you guys and gals think of these options?:

14mm Outside Dia 17 Ft Polyethylene Spiral Wire Wrap Desktop PC Manage Cable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008DFWR0A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_iD9WzbFQK8NYX

Cable Management Sleeve | Adjustable 80” Black & White Cable Organizer Made From Premium Quality Flexible Neoprene | Baltic Living Cord Organizer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018K8UGKM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_5D9WzbN71FWV3

Hmm, wonder why they did that. Anyway, here's an Amazon link - https://www.amazon.ca/CableWholesale-Cable-Clip-White-Pieces-200-961/dp/B000I97FHY/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=coaxial+cable+clip&qid=1571259964&sr=8-3

Here's a 6' extension for $7, or the 15' cord is $10.

I'm 98% certain the desk I have is a Linnmon desk as well and I've mounted the SIGNUM Cable management tray under it. I used the shortest drywall anchors I could find (like this but not that specific pack, I just had some lying around). It's been attached for over 3 years now with no issues. I even mounted my surge protector (12-outlet belkin ) upside down under the desk with no issues.
