Just got a puppy who wants to chew EVERYTHING.... so in addition to aesthetics, this video is very relevant right now.
My puppy used to chew everything. I had just gotten a brand new vive and he immediately destroyed it... I feel your pain. Good luck!
I relate but with a kitten. The little bastard chewed through my ORBI power cable and somehow took down all the RBG lights from under my desk
@Leo Miller Dude stop self-promoting your eBay shop. It's weird and annoying
Same but I have a cat
@Baby_Yoda2004 the main thing my cat chews are low power lime phone chargers, smart meter cables, light decorations, he doesn’t chew things that are thick, only thin cables
This video helped so much! I was in the process of doing a new setup and I was just gonna screw some holes into the wall to hang my extension cable on the wall but when I saw you put yours on the underside of the desk it looked so much better! All your tips and tricks helped me make a clean setup that I'm super happy with. Thanks
I can strongly recommend getting a roll of double-sided velcro. That way, you can cut off various lengths as needed, and loop cable bundles to anything. Glue or nail a length to any surface, and you can even quickly attach / detach the cables that are kept together with a separate stretch of velcro. Also perfect when you need to add or remove a cable from the bundle.
This is exactly what I've been doing! I work in a corporate IT space and have been using this method for years with great success. I find they attach really well to 3M Command Strips, which I adhere to the underside of the desk. Super speedy for adding/removing cables, or making adjustments to the overall peripheral configuration. No permanent modifications needed to the desk by screwing, nailing, gluing, etc. Perfectly clean removal!
@@coltonrudd So all you use are the Velcro strips and 3M tape for cable management?
@@Xaldin64 Yep! I've tried some off brands for cheaper, but what I find works best is the name brand Velcro rolls (the self-adhere variety) and the 3M Command Strips (white). For whatever reason, the name brand Velcro product sticks better to the Command Strips.
@@coltonrudd what width Velcro do you use?
@@user-km1ei2njmkj I want to say 3/4 inch is what I typically get. I tried to stick with a width that was close to the 3M Command Strips so you had about the same surface area to work with.
I recently put together my new desk setup with a clean modern look and full cable management. I went with the rack under the desk because I have no drawers. Absolutely worth the effort to give a clean and modern look. I have a tough time walking away from this desk now.
So, I literally have your same setup, and I found randomly your video just a day before buying my new pc, and you litterally saved my life, now my minimal room is perfect, thank you so much 🙏🏻❤️
Just did a bunch of cable management on my desk today (got recommended this video afterwards, unfortunately!) and the thing that I bought that was super helpful and not mentioned here was magnetic tape! My desk has metal industrial-style legs with flat sides so I was able to throw some tape on the back of my power board and magnetise it to the desk. Did the same with a couple of my power bricks from my two monitors (after checking that it would be safe to do so, I dunno how magnets work). Looked super clean, didn't have to nail anything into anything else. I also picked up a couple of rubber cable holders with the sticky back, mounted a few of them under my desk to hold the cables in. Allows for me to pull them out easily while also keeping them tidy under there. Great video!
I too just redid my whole room cable management. My favorite tool is the 3M double-sided tape that are also available in a roll!
We did something pretty similar. I have 2 drawers with a powerstrip on each of them. I basically just stuck everything behind my drawers too! For me, my table has a little channel on the long sides. The channel is just a product of the frame connecting to the legs, however, that little gap makes a perfect channel to hide all my cables.
Great video... I've been toying with cleaning up my untidy desktop. Just watching the options made me feel better
Cable management is one hell of a task. I have a home studio and really needed this video.
Man you just explained everything perfectly and your voice is comforting.
Always love a familiar Aussie accent when looking for stuff and to top it - that was an excellent guide.
Thank you, just what I was looking for. I am glad that you mentioned viewing angels, since I will be sleeping on the floor just one meter from the desk!
Easy to follow, recognizable products, a few different methods. Awesome video, man, really helpful.
Probably the best tip comes at the very end of the video, that adds so much flexibility. Thank you!
Thanks the video man. I've had home recording studios for the better part of 20 years now and cable management has always been an issue. Looking at some of your ideas I have a game plan now.
I would also like to add that cable organization is important but there is also something most of us don't consider. The speed to service a cable. If you use cable clips in combination with twisties, it'll take a long time to remove a cable. I instead recommend the cable clips that are rectangular and hold 5 cords or so with the latch style closer.
I almost skipped the video because I thought it was an ad. The quality is super sharp!!
For the power strip coming out of the wall, I actually recommend getting one with a 90° plug and running that cord straight down to the floor. Then tucking the cord under the wall trim between the trim and the carpet. Most houses have a considerable sized gap between the carpet and trim that you can’t see unless push down the carpet.
Wow that set up knocked my socks off, thank you!!!! The before is exactly how my desk looked like!!!! Now everyone in my family is impressed, they asked if I paid for a professional to get it done.
I’ve gotten super detailed with and kind of love my cable management. I just wanted to watch this for entertainment…but I have to say, I’m impressed with your recommendations and methods. Solid attention to detail.
The other quite important thing to consider is fire safety. A cause for fire can be dust getting caught in the power extension board, especially if all the powerpoints are not used. Having the board vertically or upside significantly increases your safety, which is how i got into cable management myself initially!
You can buy an air purifier
dont overload cheap chinese models -your asking for a burnt out house - quality is shocking
how do you clean powerboards of dust? just compressed air can?
The twist-tie + nail underdesk cable organizers is a great idea!
I've been collecting those little twist ties for a few years now with no idea what exactly I'm gonna do with em but now I've found my answer. Great video! +1Sub.
That last tip with the twisted ties is a game changer! Thanks a lot for that idea!
the cable tie tip was legendary. Also I think a good tip is using the the holes that most extension units have on the back to mount it to the table, rather than 3m. Better long term solution and less waste since it's built in and ready to go
Not all of them have screw holes unfortunately
I think that zip tie anchor are better than this cable tie tip.
@@kyriakosmaridakis8139 well its still most of them
wow! what an amazing idea!
Thank you so much, I have done my own Cable management with a slider Cable rack.
great vid mate - like the fact that you highlighted things that don't work quite as well as expected
Practical and versatile methods~
Thanks for sharing.
moving back to sweden on the 16th, this videos really helpful as I'm going to live at an apartment for a short amount of time (a year maybe). The first method will be perfect for my setup.
This is a big help, man. Will go out this weekend to buy them double sided tapes and cable box
Simple video.. clean setup.., what more can you ask for!
much love simple, concise and straightforward. GOATED.
Really great tutorial and insight to cable management. Thank you!
Great vid mate... Setting up a bedroom office and helped heaps.. Keep Crushing It!
This was super helpful thank you for sharing your tips and configurations. Great job on the video
An alternative to the cable clip is an insulated P-clamp, sold at hardware stores all over. These have a huge diameter and because they can be attached using a screw, you can unscrew to add or remove cables as needed.
Finally someone actually shows cable management that's not fully hidden behind walls and there's actually some cables visible.
Such an amazing and educational video!! Subscribed instantly 👌🏻
hey mate great vid you seem like a genuine guy this really helped me get started 😅
Very helpful thank you. I am moving to a new house and my desk right now is a riot so I want to do it more logically and tidy in my new house and this video is what I needed cause I have no idea what I am doing 😆
Saw my exact desk on the thumbnail. Thanks to you I have no cables in sight. Thanks man
Thank u my computer room is a mess now much cleaner way to look into my design thanks to your handy tips I will def need to design my layout n it’ll save space and look more professional thank you so much for this video imma save it to incase I forget as well and can watch it again it’ll be a pain to see what needs doing but all hard work n end will pay off 😊🙏
Thanks u really helped with this issue I have with cable management 🙏🏽
I’m using something similar to those adhesive ties. They are more like straps but they work just fine and I have them running along the frame of my desk.
Great video given options concerning your specific desk set up and considerations
Some awesome ideas mate - love your presentation
This is lit. Thanks for the consistent tips.
Great video! I have a double desk + drum set set up and cable management has been a nightmare.
Sam, thanks for this video, although I use insulated staple wires, we also have the ones you recommend so I may try those instead next time I move my desk again. 😁😅
This was very well explained stuff! I just did my own first cable management video. Its not so tutorial, more like asmr type video
Clear, concise and well made video. Plus from Australia which is great.
Great video aside. As a first time viewer, I wanna voice my appreciation for your choice of aspect ratio for you video. Makes use of all the extra screen on my phone (which i use alot when watching youtube) and I feel a lot more immersed in the video. Great job and great video 🙏
Your setup looks super clean!
all the tricks and your ways helped us to understand and implement he cable. management plan
The first "non-boring" cable management video, thanks!
Nice tips! Many thanks for the video! Cheers!
That was really helpful thank you man !
One thing you can do to make that more permanent solution more flexible is to use screws for your power strips. They have a wide hole/slot combo so you can attach them, and still remove them if you need to. That way if you ever move, or change things you only have to slide it til it comes free. Then you just remove the screws. The velcro idea is really cool, and gave me the idea to do that with my monitor power blocks. Thank you for this!
Also: velcro 3M strips! the ones for large frames are incredibly sturdy.
Wow. I am so glad I discovered you!
Thanks a lot for this video, Sam! Great tips!
Sensational video! Thank you.
really good video, refreshing to see an Australian doing some tech videos!
Omg I love your hair!
This is great! Thanks for this!
It really help me.
Thank you!
Thank you for this video. I have never been handy but I have to do this. I hate cables so much!!
I needed help on cable management. Anyways, cool editing SamB
This IS the best cable management video ever.
legend im buying this exact desk thank you sm
Switching all my setup this week this is usefull
SOOOOoooo happy to have North-America Type A plugs. Some of those adapters are monstrously large.
Thanks mate, I will use some of your tips very soon :)
All this effort to please the clean setup gods 👏
this is the tech video i can watch in ultrawide :)
Very helpful video...thanks!
your desk is quite similar to mine here. Anyway, it helped me a lot on bringing ideas! Thanks.
Thanks man. Well needed
To the point. And really useful. Thanks.
Some good idea. I have roughly quadruple the number of cables and 2 UPS bricks, so I'm not gonna have as clean a look, but this video points me in a direction of cleaning things up a little.
Practical ideas - thank you! :)
It’s pretty lovely we have the exact same table in the exact same order except for the colour
love the video editing on this one
Hi, the idea is good and also cheap, on the contrary, since I can no longer bear having multiple electrical sockets per turn, I preferred to call an electrician and install a wall socket with shuko and three-pole bypass sockets in order to connect PCs, monitors and peripherals. directly.
If you have a lot of similar cables, it's helpful to identify them with colored tape on each end--i.e. red on both ends of one displayport cable, yellow on each end of another
this video fists on my ultra wide screen! YOU HAVE EARNED A SUB
This is great! Thank you so much!
Great tips mate!
I got the exact ikea alex drawer with the desk set up. Will give it a try!
the twisty tie hack was neat thanks
i always keep those twisty strings just in case. turns out they are very useful for cable management
just the thing i was looking for . will be saving money by watching this hehehe
Thanks for the ultrawide video!
Great ideas THANKS 👌🏽
Great video. Mi situation differs a bit because my desk can be raised / lowered by a motor. This make all the cable management trickier in my case as the longitude of the cables varies when the table is fully risen and when it is lowered. I have still not found a good solution for this and my cables continue to be a mess under my desk.
I have the same issue - not easy and looks a mess. Still searching!
Great video! Thank you!
Some nice tips thank you!
Great presentation and beneficial tips
