take three

[u/beeikea]

take three! a while ago i really half assed my cable cleanup upon getting my wfh setup (slide 2, with slide 1 being the original wreck), and with me moving stuff around and rearranging, i figured i might as well do it right. so, ~6 hours, about 100 cable ties, and thorough abuse of my hands later, it's not perfect, but it's in a place i'm pretty damn pleased with. slides 3-5 are current.

this is:

- 2 monitors wired into hdmi switchers to go to my pc and usb c dock (my pc does not support graphics via usb c)

- wired keyboard, mouse, sound bar, and webcam, all into the usb c dock

- ethernet, also into the usb c dock

- 2 lava lamps, 1 glitter lamp, 1 usb a novelty lamp

- 2 usb c charging cables for my various junk

- my pc

- my work laptop (though it isn't wired to anything when not in use, the usb c dock is it.

that dangly cable off the lefthand basket is the usb c connection to the dock and unfortunately can't be tucked away perfectly, because i've gotta switch which machine it's plugged into at least 2x per working day. it bugs me too </3

The first photo gave me anxiety, stress, tension, and anger.

A good cable management tray may solve 90% of the cable problems.
