Desk Setup Cable Management Accessories

[@techfreshness]

the rubber twist ties are sweet

[@winnetouch]

Hey, cool video man. I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in but then it turned into a ramble. Here it is anyway :P. I never understood those box things. Yeah, they hide the outlet but they really don't hide any cables. You still need to run cables in and out and the biggest eyesore is usually the cables running around and across the desk. They would be more useful if you attach them to the bottom of your desk I guess. I use Ikea's cable management Signum basket. It doesn't "hide anything per se but it lifts it off the floor and no one will ever notice the cables unless he/she crawls under the desk. In my opinion, the only things you really need are velcro strips, outlets you can attach under your desk, and a cable management shelf/basket that you attach under your desk. It'd throw in a cable sleeve, depending on how you run your cables, but I usually run them along the table legs and attach them with the velcro strips. The clips are useless most of the time since you never run just one cable towards the computer and attaching it anywhere other than under the table just looks ugly to me and is basically pointless. Using them to hold your cables is also a messy solution. Since then you would have cables just lying on the desk with no purpose when you are not using them, which kind of defeats the point of cable management. I'd rather use a USB hub that attaches to the desk (either that or use a bracket or double-sided tape). Then I'd store the cables away when I don't need them to remove them from the desk surface entirely. My issue is that I have a Wacom tablet that needs 2 cables to run (power and USB C to PC) and a wired Keyboard and there's no way to hide those cables without drilling holes in the desk :P. Everything else is seamless. On a side note, Ikea's cable management solutions are VERY cheap and are affordable to anyone that needs cable management.

[@sam_the_penguin_man01]

I just love the zip-ties are held togheter via a zip-tie...! 👌🏻👌🏻

[@PWingert1966]

I love Blue Lounge Cable boxes. I order them by the pallet load!

[@scottphillips3762]

It looks like you have an apex desk, I just got one also and am having trouble getting the power cords for the lift to stay up- I tried 3m sticky tape you have here and zip ties/duct tape but the cords are so heavy they eventually fall down unless you were to use a preposterous amount- could you have a shot or post a pic where you show the whole underside for a bit as opposed to just small segments so I can see how you did it? Thanks

[@Heffsta02]

this just upped my cable management game by 10 (was at zero)

[@jabrilmahamud7222]

Same.

[@viscoselight23]

Zero by 10 is still zero bud

[@Heffsta02]

@@viscoselight23 haha true that... appropriate because I still haven't done anything about my shitty cable management.

[@rubenrodriguez5020]

Complety agree bruh

[@jermm425]

Lol same 😂

[@Gostgosta]

What's that "headphone table edge"-thingy at 6:35? It looks amazing!

[@dandadamo4299]

Gear ties are really multi-purpose, I used them as a part of a mini catapult

Scotch 4010!!! TThis is the tape you want. It's the clear thick mounting tape. Much easier to remove than foam tape and hold an insane amount.

/GREAT video just wondering what are those white speakers ?? look great

[@bigpoppaeffy3380]

Command cord clips work great as well

[@ronin120]

thanks for the video...this helped a lot and provided great options...much appreciated.

[@twoshirts1842]

The velcro strips with the hole is so you can feed it through and itll always be on that cord.

[@FushiguroMegumi79]

I just built my pc about a month ago and I've been putting off cable management for long enough. I was just so excited to have a new ultra build that I just wanted to get on right away :P

[@PanicandHide]

Great easy solutions that are reasonable prices for saving your eyes from cancer

[@mandychuu]

Cable management isn't something I'm used to because I never had so many accessories until about 2 or 3 years ago. Double sided tape and Velcro strips have always been my best friends, but I never knew that mounting brackets for zip ties existed. Neat! Those gear ties are really sweet though. I'll definitely have to pick up some of those for my setup! To eliminate cost though, I'll probably re-purpose a box I have lying around to hide power bricks and whatnot, if I go that route. My big question, however, is if I'm going to mount my monitor on my wall to maximize desk space, what are some options for hiding the cords?

[@bjrnmartinsaastad2548]

Use a cable raceway.

[@jegc0689]

Nice video! Can you make an updated version of this? Wanna know if you have other stuffs

[@twoshirts1842]

The circle slotted cable holders are $1 FOR 6 at Dollar Tree. I dunno if DT is nationwide but yea. The packs normally come with 3 different colors

[@300DBenz]

The little hole in the Velcro strips are for attaching the strip to a single cable, so it stays on the cable when you unwrap the cord. It's great for stuff like extension cords or corded power tools, cords that you roll up when you aren't using it.

[@kazolar]

Split wire loom. Look into it -- excellent for tidying up stray cables -- would help your setup also

[@Hilidithrin]

Are the reusable zip ties compatible with the zip tie mounts because they seem much thicker and I want to make sure it fits inside the mounts

[@MacauGr]

Hello my friend. Did you even check this prices on Ebay? they are 30/50% lower.

[@jmoney1810]

Nice vid Frank. I’m about to build an office and these items are essential. Its about time I go organized.

[@pokebob25]

Cable management is key for a nice setup

[@ShuhDonk]

I recently came across your channel, glad I did, I absolutely love it.. very good stuff you put out, definitely one of my favorites! Keep up the great work!

[@os-qt1hc]

any ideas on how to organize a storage of all kinds of different cables when you have like a hudred of them?

[@seanjoseph5972]

Would the re-usable zip ties fit in the zip tie mounts?

[@darkpowerxo]

can you get cord holder sized double sided tape? in case you change your desk

[@yashchauhan03]

Really all rounder information about all type of cable management ...

[@paneujun5067]

this video is a life saviour

[@JimmyTolle]

this helps a lot considering I got a new desk and there is no real way to hide cables but I have a few p;lans to get some stuff at walmrt since Im going there anyway to buy my xbox

[@bmo8674]

Gear Ties are awesome!

[@MelvinEncarnacion]

What do you use to hold the wires underneath the table?

[@Sb_Anisul]

Quick tip use a regular zip tie but put it in back wards to pull it back out later

[@LesterGomes]

Cheapest and easy was is using a tape or tread!! :O

[@mevoogle]

Lester Gomes yeah ikr

[@DrLIRAAAAAAA]

At 6:39 towards 6:41, is that an usb volume controller besides the usb hub? If it is, which one is it?

[@thechosenkiwi7871]

"Inexpensive" 30 bucks for a black box

[@inyourgut]

Justin Newport right lol

[@mikegaming3826]

without amazon prime 60 haha

[@joshuarowe8410]

gamers pay exorbitant prices for pieces of plastic all the day because of this whole 'gaming pc' culture and videos like this, RGB LEDs, etc

[@mnunez10]

30 is nothing if you have a job.

[@user-ts2ny8jg9d]

there's nothing that would elude to that box being 'gamer'esque, offices and things like that use those boxes too, ill admit we do pay much more for things that are advertised to gamers but this isnt one of them.

[@xXJtagWarfareXx]

What is the moving desk you are using...??

[@antopiahk8655]

what monitor mount did you use for the monitor stacking?

[@16xthedetail76]

Thanks for the awesome video frank!. I'm in the middle of renovating my room and these will come in handy :)

[@sathlin]

Great video, added a bunch of things to my wishlist.

[@MikeShen69]

Great video man, loving the content lately. Hope your channel grows quicker, you deserve it man! Keep up the good work!

[@joshuahigginbottom]

Very useful for cable management, WOW, I might get some of those things for my gaming setup.

[@qwerty74]

I can vouch for the Velcro strips. Got 2 packs here and they're just... beautiful... *sniff*

[@Updato]

Great video Frank!

[@prxzmsAU]

Such a great video

[@Eshcole]

Tons of great ideas! Thanks Frank!

[@kamirkaze]

and cable porn just happens to be in the tags....

[@isaiahmercado7177]

Hey randomfrankp you should review the new status audio hd 2

[@gamerxftw4664]

Those cable clips are a good use for a mouse bungies

[@grail4K]

What's the USB hub and stuff under ur desk?

[@smr5261]

can you make a video about the best gaming headset that would be similar to the keyboard and mouse

[@Gameerz]

I see so much cable tour project into your room

[@lejame]

+Gameerz ?

[@francis-jaycabato1855]

6:36 can anyone tell me where I can get that black and gold 3.5mm jack extension?

[@TheEmeraldboy100]

IMO normal zip ties are still reusable, you only need small, thin objects (like paperclip or your nail) to loosen them, but those reusable zip ties are also a convenience in case you don't have a paperclip around.

[@adogatemyhomework1035]

Watched this after some Spanish tech youtuber, it felt amazing

[@paulfaloon5028]

Hi can u not put the items in the uk Amazon site

[@Visatron57]

I bought a cable management pack from ikea (not the signum) a pack of clip ties and all that stuff

[@QuaintAxe]

You can use normal zip ties over and over again, you just have to get your nail or a knife in the middle of the thing that you pull it through and move the love mechanism and pull

[@enrikgmuller]

this helped me A LOT. thanks dud

[@ryancj9894]

Or put the normal zip ties backwards

[@oscarhernandez8353]

Frank, thx to your review of the corsair strafe rgb I bought myself one 2 days ago and it's awesome. The feel of the mix silent is great and the rgb is amazing. Thx man :) and keep up the great videos.

[@hikeskool]

How do I conceal the "open" side of a desk? Basically, all the cables used for my desk and PC face outward toward the center of the room with nothing to conceal them. All I can find are videos of people concealing cables when their desks are already pushed up against a wall. Any tips?

[@kalowinta]

Use the boxes that he showed or try mounting a power strip under your desk and run the cable along the desk down the leg.

[@hikeskool]

Geekologically Advanced yup, I have been experimenting with various tie downs and sticky-tack. So far it is a pretty big PITA. In the end, there is still the back of the PC with a bunch of cables hanging out of it. I like the box idea but there really is nothing large enough to fit my UPS. These are good starter tips but it seems like every "cable management" video only looks to address cables that can be jammed up behind a desk placed next to a wall.

[@kalowinta]

+hikeskool ahhh the old UPS.. I have to hide mine too. I'm in korea they use 220v there is no way I can get away from the very hideous step down transformer. My UPS is 110v btw. So you stumped me there LOL good luck!!

[@hikeskool]

Geekologically Advanced do you have pics of your setup?

[@kalowinta]

+hikeskool I actually just got a new desk 2 days ago so I am still working on my setup as we speak. I am waiting on some stuff on order also. I can send a pic but nothing is connected back up yet.

[@TastyGuava]

Oh how your setup has changed

[@Just_J7]

Does reusable zip tie fit on the zip tie mount?

[@5aloof123]

How do you do that?? Everytime I think of something I want a review on, POOF new video answering my call. GREAT video 👍

[@francoguinard8890]

You can use that to do cable management into a pc?

[@mazombieme4045]

franco guinard Only the boxes will work

[@Ortegamlk]

Awesome video. For some reason I never thought of having things like a USB hub underneath the table. Definitely declutters the desk. Keep the videos coming! 😁

[@richardcherry3285]

what amplifier do you use?

[@perfectgamer5098]

You were on tech sauce talking about your setup

[@Dakay22]

Can anyone tell me which episode the setup at 0:32 is in. I’d love to know what the table and chair are.

[@sammyh5304]

Nice. Definitely useful.

[@MasonWarren129470]

Hey Frank, which camping store? I work at Going Gear and we have the Gear Ties! :D

[@kn00tcn]

that tiny thing at 3:36 can hold such a weight!? do any of these adhesive based methods ever fall off after a week/month/year/decade?

[@2001maurits]

adhesive.

[@DavidDavisDH]

I finally got my home theater speaker wires organized, it literally look like spaghetti. Now it looks so clean, I recommend the velcro straps, it took l 3 hours, but worth it.

[@Statistic189]

What is that white desk in the 2nd photo at 0:30?

[@angusphill3191]

Hey just wanted to say thanks your videos are great keep it up awesome stuff

[@rkark3360]

wow literally before this video I got sick of my cables and taped it all up, worked perfectly though

[@infighter89]

Hello, is there anything similar to Cable raceway? Or where some else where I can find? Because any raceway I found price is like 15-30usd (which is fine) but shipping cost 60-70 usd. lol! Thanks in case someone will actually help! :)

[@courtnxycartxr3490]

Thanks so much for this video I just started setting up a video and audio control room and a lot of stuff in this video will definitely help

[@brendanpham79]

[@LivingforRiding18]

Hey bro give the link of amplifier dec

[@gamercanon9645]

Nice video randomfrankp. I am actually trying to make my gaming room the way I want it! Also I got my computer build from you from 2014. Keep up the great work man!

[@karen-zu3nn]

Frank, do you use your k70 or your strafe and why?

[@Simplistic]

That question doesn't make any sense

[@nomenclator4339]

+Simplistic It does actually, he wants to know if the K70 is just for displayor it's actually a worth keyboard.

[@Simplistic]

Martin Sosa Dias i realized after haha

[@parkerwenguer4436]

What about the ikea signum

[@mikakee6928]

I myself have devised a lifehack. If you have a plastic beektertje, then you cut it from the bottom. Then you can do around your cables through so they keep them together. :D

[@menno763]

ben je fking serieus het is a plastic cup heb jij geen engels geleerd ofzo

What kinda Amp is this?
