    Those power cable management boxes ….. you need to be careful as for normal plugs their ok’ish …….. however, do NOT put power adapters inside them as the heat can build up and can cause serious safety issues !!!🔥🔥🔥

    One thing that is an absolute must for clean cable management is a server rack! or cable run way what ever you want to call it. I just finished my cables today and damn its clean! don't forget a surge protector to connect everything to and have only one visible cable exposed! Even if you don't have a sit-stand desk, it helps to watch videos on those to perfect a regular set up imo.

    A really good use for the magnetic monitor mount would be in tandem with that little stat screen you had in a video not too long ago, after I saw that in your video I got one myself and atm I'm using it with the official Nintendo adjustable charging stand which helps hide the cable a little (I can tweet a picture at you as it's pretty damn clean) but I think being able to strap it to the side of your monitor using that monitor mount and say a right angle usb-c plug to help make it look even cleaner is an awesome idea and I'll have to look into it myself
