Reddit reviews OmniMount OECMS Neoprene Cable Management - Black/White

bundle them together in one thick sleeve. Having a fabric sleeve lie on your desk is imo better tham a lot of different wires :)

I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/OmniMount-OECMS-Neoprene-Cable-Management/dp/B004M8SSW8/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1492424504&sr=8-5&keywords=cable+sleeve

It's white or black (turn it inside out) and it's better than other sleeves imo because of the holes it has: you can let wires run in or out at any point you want, so it would be perfect for the cables from your mouse&kb, and you can let the sleeve run all the way to the top of your desktop, so the wires only exit the sleeve at the exact height they neet to be plugged in. Tuck away all the loose wire you have into the sleeve, and I think it'll be much tidier.

It's actually just one of [these] (http://www.amazon.com/OmniMount-OECMS-Neoprene-Cable-Management/dp/B004M8SSW8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421959014&sr=8-1&keywords=cable+management)

Something like these?

I would also recommend checking out the Neoprine Omnimount, which is excellent for tidying cables in an entertainment center

Here.

He used that tube you can see behind the PC, just like this one

Here's 2 variations from Amazon that are reasonably priced:

1.

2.

I actually use the first variation much in the same fashion as OP, and for $9 I think it's well worth the price. You can even cut off excess material if you're looking for a shorter cord.

Those Total Mount clips are no joke. Be absolutely sure where you want them as they are permanent. You can remove them, but chances are you're taking the first layer of whatever material its attached to with it. Under desks though are areas no one ever regrets altering. Even if you have the desk 10 years from now and give it to a cousin, they wont care it has clips underneath.

Twist ties work, but they look a bit sloppy.

The zip ties are okay, but they're permanent, and kind of suck if you want to move things around later.

Velcro ties are alright. But I find they're usually too long, and end up wrapping them around and around and around, which makes the ties look bulky, and unkempt.

If you have a big bunch of cables all going the same way, you can use one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004M8SSW8

I used one of those for my V-drum set. You know, with each drum head and cymbal having its own chord running around the frame to the drum unit, it looked much, much nicer when they were all bundled and covered together.

The nice thing about those big cable sleeves is that they're wide enough to run a cable through doubled over without pinching anything. You know, if the cable is too long, just loop it back around to the other end and back again through the tube until the length is right where you need it.

Aside from that, and if you have cables that need to be out in the open (like mic cables), just try to coil the excess neatly under the mic stand so it doesn't look quite so messy. And coil them loosely around the stand so they don't stand out or wave around so much.

Looks really nice! I like the light placement and the rear fender.

These can hold your surge protector off the ground as well.

If you don't want to screw anything onto the wall or desk then you could consider a cable management sleeve to gather up all the cables and make it look better with just 1 round tube.

edit: I own a sleeve but it has holes for cables to exit. like this picture.

Like this. There's other options of course.

Here you are, and if you just look up “cable management” on amazon you’ll see a ton of useful little do dads that’ll help as well

I know you're saying that you've managed the cables in the last 2... but i see lots of dangly bits... could i recommend some good cable management sleeves? and a good remote-shutoff surge protector? and some grommeting?

Are you talking about for cables outside of the pc? You mean something like this http://www.amazon.com/OmniMount-OECMS-Neoprene-Cable-Management/dp/B004M8SSW8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1463191776&sr=8-1&keywords=omnimount+cable?

Get one of these

This is what it did for me.

Actual ideas:

1. Don't use scotch tape. It heats up and the glue melts off and sticks to your cables. It's a pain in the ass to clean.
   
2. Velcro Hook and loop cable ties. 100 eight inch ties for under $8. If you need them to be longer, you can loop two together for extra length.
   
3. Get a longer VGA cable for the right monitor. There is way too much tension on that monitor and will make cable management a nightmare.
   
4. Learn the over under rolling technique for cables. This is the preferred method for cable storage as it prevents wires from having memory bends.
   
5. Use cable management sleeves to organize your cables.

This sleeve + zip-ties did everything I needed.

Zip ties or Velcro strips, yes to start.

Then you cover the groups of cables with something simple like this or like this and you'll be in good shape.

Spiral wraps work amazing, I have used them myself, but I also have used cable sleeves, which I slightly prefer, which you can find here.

you cables, you can round the mup with zip ties, or velcro.

you can instead of drilling hot gluing some brackets on the ground of the desk, and have for example this or this here
