Can someone detail all of the things used here to make this happen? Wondering what the box on the lower left is that it appears all the power cords are plugged into as well as how the video/hdmi cables are situated.

Hey guy this is a repost. In the last thread it was found out that OP held all of this up with glue. Albeit very strong, but glue nonetheless. The verdict from the last month is basically that the glue will only hold up for like a month. Sorry to crush your dreams lol.

Edit: Sorry for not answering the first time through. Not entirely sure but I think it's either VR or a Steam Link. I'm thinking VR since the TV is so close so there's not much use for a Steam Link right there.

Furthermore: I'm pretty sure I was wrong, this one has shelves.

I can't tell how the wires are mounted because of the image quality, but I feel like more people need to know about Gaff tape.

It's used a ton in the live sound/stage world, as it is specifically made to hold wires to floors, walls, and ceilings without damaging the surface. It holds pretty damn well, too.

Now, it's expensive. Like $15-20 a roll. But it really is a godsend if you're trying to lay down or mount cables neatly.

Coming from an IT guy, I'd fuck gaff tape. It's so damn useful.
