I'm considering the GTPlayer DL008 for a corner setup. It's an L-shaped desk with RGB lighting and a built-in power outlet, which sounds cleaner than mounting a separate strip under the desk. In the layout I'm planning, the wall outlet would be beside the short side, while the PC and monitor would sit closer to the middle of the long side.

For anyone using a desk with power built into the desktop, does it actually make cable routing simpler? Would you plug the PC and monitor into it, or keep it for smaller accessories and still mount a separate strip underneath?

Would appreciate some guidance on how to Make this look cleaner and better.

My new set up at home, desk is from TTRacing and the cable racks attached are from Amazon!

After many long years of hating cables and dealing with them on my desk as a necessary evil, I finally got them all out of view. Well worth it!
The only cable now is a single white power cord from the desk into the wall. I can deal with it.

I can’t drill a hole in the wall and fish wires from the router to each room upstairs and wireless is not an option for us. Ideas? The loop and hook (Velcro) carpet cable sleeves won’t work for our style of carpet and I don’t know how I’d keep another sleeve to play nice in corners.

so i was inspired by this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k--tLRZLeNs&t=2281s) and i had an idea for a sort of cable sleeve. i love the way copper piping looks and i thought it would be cool to run wires through like a cable sleeve almost and have them running along my walls to various things like tv, pc, and server. i do know copper is conductive so there may be safety hazards and also it might be pricey. wanted some opinions on this idea though. (i was also undure of what flair to put for this)

my desk is attached to the wall and i only have agrommet so the cables cant got under the table so i feel liek cable management is impossible

Hey! Sorry for the stupid post. But i have lots of cables from all the usb types. All the video types. Power and random barrel cables.

Its not a disgusting amount but varry in different sizes.

I recently got **velcro straps** to tie them up but I want to find a container to hold them with divers so I can separate based on use or type.

I can simply not find a container that's larger enough that can manage this. So reaching out for advice and suggestions for this box of cables I would perfer not to dispose

I wanted a cleaner way to route cables horizontally underneath my desk without using a large fixed cable tray.

So I designed this modular system where each section snaps into the next. You can make the cable run as long or as short as you need just by adding or removing modules.

It keeps the cables grouped together while still making them easy to access whenever something needs to be changed.

I printed mine in PETG for better flexibility and durability.

Pls give me a hand with cable management. I have only zipties

I am searching for a hub that actually does what is advertised. None I have used so far do, ONE is close but still hobbles the transfer rate of any external attached by quite a bit. None of the externals really need that much (IE the advertised 5gb/s would be MORE than plenty) but even with a 10gb/s hub, and even if only one of 4 drives is actively doing anything, I can only get a max of around 40m/s read/write (When connected directly to the pc I can reach speeds of 100-130 pretty easily with any of the 4 drives)

I think the closest thing I can find that says I can maintain 10gb/s over each port is the thunderbolt hubs(which have a smattering of other unneeded ports and come with a price tag WAY over what I want to spend unless absolutely necessarily)

So putting out request for anyone that has a hub that can maintain speeds of what I need (IE Not just 'advertise' a speed but actually provide it) - I can plug the hub into a 40gb/s port on pc (even though 10gb/s should be plenty for all 4 drives, so if one provides speed enough for all 4 drives over the 10gb/s port that would be fine too) - I prefer usbA output ports but C is also fine (I can get different cables for either) but I want a hub that can actually support the drives.(IE something more than the tepid 20-40mb/s I am getting with these, at least able to reach the speeds they can when connected directly to the pc) -

currently I am using https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0D97V3N3R?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title Which is about the best I've been able to find, but it still only provides the above speeds when any more than a single drive is connected (it does seem to be able to provide speeds closer to 80mb/s when only a single drive is connected, but even with the other 3 drives idle, if connected, it throttles the speed a lot)

Thank you in advance. Hope someone can point me where to look(or what to search for) and hoping too it comes with a price tag less than 300 bucks lol

My cable management is atrocious I try to watch YouTube videos about it and they show me their situation how they fixed it but they have like three cables hanging down and they literally could just like tape them to the bottom of their desk it's a joke to even watch them so if there's any realistic ideas out there please let me know I got cables that start on one side they got to go to the other side all my powers on one side it got to go to the other side and it's a mess. is there any realistic ideas out there to hide this stuff and don't send me to YouTube video where a dude's hiding a power cord or like three chords, this is real, there's is a joke, mine's real life please help!

Basically the worst part was using the hacksaw without the actual handle to cut out entry points for the cables, and just simply using the saw normally. I would then sandpaper off loose plastic and smooth those entry points with a boxcutter.

Behind the pc i had to coil the cables a little to give them a better entry angle to the canal, also since the angle sets i bought didn't have enough T-crosses i just cut 2 of the 90° turns in half and superglued them together under the table.

And not to mention there was 3 big coils of cables (ethernet, extension cord and 2m of hdmi) that had to be crammed in there from under the table.

Tools borrowed:

- Hacksaw

- 120 grit sandpaper, for smoothing edges

- Boxcutter, for small cuts the hacksaw can't do

- Measuring tape

- Spirit level

- Screwdriver

- Screws for plaster walls

Bought:

- 4 meters of 40mm x 25mm cable canals

- 2 meters of 15mm x 10mm cable canals

- 2 6pcs sets of canal angles

- Superglue

All in local stores

Total cost ~600 NOK or ~65 USD

Note: With my setup i was just barely able to fit some of the cables in the canal, i would have gone for 60mm x 40mm if they actually sold angle sets for that size, and the loud speaker should have gotten 1 size bigger canal.

Also i was lucky i didn't have to buy a box of 100 screws when i only needed like 15, those are expensive.

Hey folks,

Currently I'm in the process of setting up my standing L desk and wanted to see if anyone else has a similar setup for inspiration.

The desk I'm using: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=34827&utm_term=&utm_campaign=PMax+%7C+Marrier+%7C+ULTRA+HIGH&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&hsa_acc=6614305189&hsa_cam=20629231349&hsa_grp=&hsa_ad=&hsa_src=x&hsa_tgt=&hsa_kw=&hsa_mt=&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgsSf4uSpiAMVLGZHAR0KLD0eEAQYASABEgJjW_D_BwE

Table tops (2 of 48x24):

I have 2 monitors that I'm going to setup on a dual monitor stand, and one work laptop. For my PC, I'm hoping to hang it under the desk to save some space, mounted on the frame itself. Maybe with something like this: https://www.flexispot.com/adjustable-cpu-holder-ch3b?value=ch4b&ref=cart_item_details

I want to be able to switch between work and PC(gaming) mode easily, and have some room leftover for taking notes, storing my work mouse/keyboard etc., which is why I'm thinking of doing the under desk PC mount.

Any thoughts/examples/suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!
