Vent: The zip tie tower I built behind my desk last weekend

I finally got sick of the spaghetti behind my desk and spent 6 hours last Sunday grouping every cord with zip ties, then bundling those groups into a single thick rope. It looked like a modern art piece until I needed to unplug my monitor to move it two feet for a video call. I spent another 45 minutes cutting through half the ties with a box cutter, nicked a USB cable in the process, and now I have a dead port on a hub I bought in March. Lesson learned: zip ties are for permanent walls, not things you touch more than once a month. Anyone else tried the bundle method and hit the same wall, or do you use velcro strips for everything now?

Did you even try velcro tape before going full zip tie, or was this just pure stubbornness?
