Need practical cable management ideas for my custom PC desk (Photos attached)
Hi everyone,
I recently got a custom desk built, and I'm looking for practical advice on cable management. I've attached photos of my current setup.
Here's the situation:
Custom-built desk with a PC on the right side (this position cannot change).
Single monitor right now, but I plan to upgrade to a dual-monitor setup later.
There is an existing cable hole near the PC that I can use for routing cables.
Wall power outlets are on the left side of the desk.
I have cables for the PC, monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, speakers, Ethernet, and power strip.
My biggest issue is that cables are visible on the tabletop, hanging from the front, and running across the floor.
I'm not looking to redesign the desk. My goal is simply to make the setup look as clean as possible while keeping it practical and easy to maintain.
I'd appreciate advice on:
The best way to route all the cables.
Where to mount the power strip.
Whether I should use an under-desk cable tray, raceway, sleeves, or adhesive clips.
How to make the setup future-proof for a second monitor.
Any changes you'd make based on the photos.
If possible, I'd also love a rough sketch or blueprint of how you would route the cables on this specific desk.
Thanks in advance!
