He said zip ties keep it clean forever but I had to cut 8 of them just to swap my monitor arm and now I'm on team velcro, who else has switched sides on this one?
Saw those flexible cable snakes on instagram and thought they'd clean up my mess of wires under my standing desk. Ordered a 3 pack for about $80 last month. The concept is cool - you put cables inside a fabric tube that you can bend around corners. But the material was way too stiff, kept popping open at the seams after a week. Ended up ripping them all out yesterday and just using velcro ties again like a normal person. Anyone have better luck with these things or did I just buy the wrong brand?
I saw this under-desk tray from some generic brand for $40 and thought it would hide all my cables easy. The thing is flimsy metal and the screws stripped after I tightened them twice. Now my cables are still a mess because the tray keeps sagging. Anyone find a tray under $50 that actually holds up without bending?
After he pointed that out I went and bought a pack of those adhesive cable clips for $8 at Home Depot and routed everything under the desk in a straight line, has anyone else had a friend call out their setup like that?
I spent two years with cables just hanging loose under my desk, tripping over them every time I stretched my legs. Last month I noticed my webcam kept freezing and traced it to a USB cable that was half crushed under my chair wheel. That's when it hit me that a simple $10 pack of adhesive cable clips from Target would have saved me all that trouble. Has anyone else found a cheap trick that made a bigger difference than they expected?
I saw a friend's setup over the weekend with that plastic trunking stuff running down his wall and honestly the shadows and dust collection made it stand out more than my exposed cables ever do, has anyone else noticed that or am I just being too picky?
