How I made my desk setup "wireless" ✅

✅ Channel Sponsor ✅ GET 25% OFF with coupon code: TechBlock ↪︎ geni.us/tbk-scdkey IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: It is generally considered BAD practice to daisy-chain power extension leads (plug power extension leads into each other). I do not recommend you do this, as it might be a safety hazard. In this video, I am using 13A 240V rated power extension leads, that can handle a maximum wattage of around 3000W. My setup in particular only draws a maximum of 900W in an absolute worst case scenario with the CPU & GPU under 100% load + all the LEDs on 100% brightness. The best way to get around a situation where you might plug power extension leads into each other - is to instead just buy one single power extension lead with enough sockets to begin with (again, make sure to get a good quality one, with for example a 13A 240V rating if you’re in the UK that is). I am making a follow-up video right now, swapping to a single power extension lead. I appreciate all of you expressing your concern in the comments, I understand how someone might see this and try to copy without first checking the maximum current ratings of their power strip…

[@sharkkord]

i was gonna say something about my concern with having such a long extension of cables especially with daisy chains, but good to know you thought of this

[@BrodyAIM]

What table top is that?

[@SpuddyIRL]

you could try a server extension cable and screw it on probably safer if you wanted

[@joeryverraes2052]

why don't you use the secretlab gaming desk

[@willhoward07]

I have the same lol

[@mrklean0292]

I've done desktop support for years and even had many setups at home, but your setup blows any of the cable manage solutions I have come up with out of the water. I love the great work you did.

[@TechBlock]

Really appreciate that :D

[@wiIdcattm]

The use of velcro is probably the most useful bit of information for me. If I end up redoing my management again anytime soon, I'm definitely going to consider this route.

[@TechBlock]

Yeah it’s honestly a great route to go, especially with the heavy duty velcro 👌 i imagine you could also go a magnetic route but that would probably be quite costly

[@crossbowhunter9118]

How do you remove the Velcro if you want to switch to a different desk?

[@rrzznn]

@@crossbowhunter9118 thats the neat thing about this. You dont.

[@crossbowhunter9118]

@@rrzznn what do you mean oh cuz it is so cheap you can replace it if you want to switch to a different desk? Do you put one half the Velcro on the power strip for example and the other half on the desk?

[@ne0trace]

The weakness in the setup is the glue that holds the velcro strip. It’ll eventually sag and come off.

[@fernanology]

So glad you are uploading videos again. You are the reason I got into PCs and built my first set up in 2020. Now this video makes me wanna step up my game and make my set up even better. Keep up the great work!

[@TechBlock]

Eyy happy to hear it mate! 😎

[@Gbur]

@@TechBlock You should make a video about why you were gone for so long

[@TechBlock]

@@Gbur trust me, it is something I want to make a video about, and I’m certain I will in the near future so that others can learn from my mistakes… however, I don’t think I can at the moment due to some legal reasons :/ Hopefully by the end of the year I will address why I was gone. But because of the country I am in, it might cause some problems

Happy to hear that :D I hope you sort your cables out

[@Daniel-te3eh]

You were the source of inspiration of building an awesome setup. I remember when I followed your channel before you moved into your new place and made it like your home with RGB all over the place (even the toilet). Love your content and glad to see you back. Greetings from Belgium

[@JonaFolgt]

That's clean af dude, definitely inspiring for my next setup

[@lizandrotorres8068]

Wow some of the best cable management I've seen ever, really amazing work you've done some stuff different that I've never seen before really good work. Can't wait for those chargers to be fully done and ready, will be buying at least one for sure.

[@joanik]

this video deserves tens of millions of views. and this channel deserves millions of subs...this is probably the most underrated content i have seen in a while. good luck man. hope you get what you deserve very soon .

[@itsmahdisadeghi]

Good video man. You've got some serious amount of patience to do all these, I would have been dead seven times if I wanted to do something like that!

[@asnpride]

Thank you for the Velcro idea.

[@0x4e696b]

Yoo this is actually insane! I can only imagine the pain and dedication it took you to set this up.

[@TechBlock]

Haha it’s honestly quite easy with the velcro and J-channels. Shouldn’t take long at all especially if you only have 1 monitor

[@richburmond6761]

@@TechBlock trying to do this with 3 monitors, a desktop and laptop with docking station both hooked up to all monitors. Ain't fun, I can tell you that

[@iamconnorwoods]

Here's a business idea: Create a desk where the underside is fully Velcro and then sell accessory products to be paired with the desk that are all wrapped in Velcro so you can attach them anywhere under the desk. Cable management accessories, charging accessories, storage accessories, etc. Upgraded version of this could be magnetic areas but as you've mentioned that would be quite costly. Niche idea, but could always find a way to sell the accessories without the Velcro wrap for generic use as well.

[@LazyMoka]

Maybe instead fully magnetics areas. full metal underside would be better, then sell accesories with a magnet that sticks under the desk

[@TechBlock]

I’m gonna review a desk just like that soon, with all those magnetic accessories :D

[@here2thrive]

I like this idea for a business, it would need some solid research, experimentation, and design to make sure the compatibility works for many kinds of products.

[@shaungreer3350]

probably wouldn’t be that successful. most people don’t really care about cable management all that much, and most of us that do care already have their own solution

[@AbdullahBilik]

This is near perfect. The only way i could imagine a better way would be to engrave tracks under the table to manage the cables. But I couldn't do it better. Awesome work dude!

[@alexvidal7226]

Cleanest cable management I’ve ever seen. I just completed my setup. I used velcro and j-channels and it came out almost as clean as this!

[@TechBlock]

Eyy happy to hear it 💪

[@John3ln3n3incOrtiz]

Dude i saw ur setup and yes finally someone understands my hiding cable issue lmao I run 3 monitors as well and a shit ton of cables for gaming and streaming and u just motivated me to redo the wiring thank u

[@Badsniperarmy]

FINALLY SOMEONE IS DOING THE RETRACTABLE CHARGER THING, I can't wait to buy those, so many setups would look nice with retraceable cables

[@SixSilverStones]

[@kareemelsayed6745]

I've been watching your video's for a long time now. And i must say, you really improved your setup!

[@LeoX005YT]

MAD RESPECT FOR YOUR CABLE MANAGEMENT.

[@alfye7647]

Fire waiting to happen. Never plug in a surge protector into another surge protector. I recommend buying a power distribution unit (PDU) with a 15ft power cable, or whichever length needed, and have that plugged into a UPS. That being said, solid cable management, but unfortunately you gotta undo some of it.

[@HOLLOWFOX3]

Wow that retractable magnetic charger kit looks super cool, i would definitely love that in my set up!!!!

[@hamnootalok8307]

This is the best that I ever saw in KZbin thx man it cool this will help and make idea to we all setup 👍👍 From Thailand

[@enthusiastvoid]

ty for showing your amazing setup, it inspired me to make mine better with magnet chargers and velcro

[@Artimidorus]

I think my only concern would be all the daisy chaining. I thought maybe you were plugged into a good UPS before you revealed it was a cable hiding box. That's a good bit of power running from those two plugs.

[@EmptiedPockets]

I'm surprised nobody mentioned this. Daisy chaining isn't really good resistance = heat.

[@kuroinova2056]

Im more concerned that he put mutiple extension plugged into another extension

You might also want to consider Techflex sleeving to make a nice clean look going from all of your PC outputs to the underside of the desk. They're already pretty hidden, but you can see the whip from the side and all of the cables.

Best cable management I've seen...SUBSCRIBED!

[@B_M_A]

The Ravpower USB hub is so nice, I've had one for a few years and I haven't been able to find another until yesterday, as far as your TBK charger I think it looks cool the only thing I can see holding you back is the piece that holds the actual cable/has the cable slide though it. With the coil mechanism not being insanely strong it struggles to glide through back in to position, some sort of similar device that has some hard plastic cylindrical channel(s) for cables would be ideal, could maybe even test some 3D printed pieces.

[@crimsonram77]

“Just a little bit better” bruv thats like next level trolling your friends where your cables went lmao

[@TitanRGB390]

okay the tbk charger is just pure genius and i want it

[@TechBlock]

I’ll announce when the beta testing program goes live :) probably in Q4 this year

[@Wolfentodd]

I was going to say its good your severing the daisy chain then saw you already explained why in the pinned comment. Nice to know the knowledge of bad daisy chaining is actually not as rare as I thought

really liking your setup bro! the only thing i'm cautious about is that i want to have a monitor arm for my monitors(two 27s and one 32inch) i'm concerned that the linnmon desk is not strong enough for the weigh of my monitors and arm over time....so i'm probably going to do a wooden countertop instead.

[@leagued3832]

If you're planning to copy this.. Please be careful with linking power extension straps. OP doesn't put a warning out. Linking more than it can handle can lead to a fire.

[@TechBlock]

From what I understand the hazard only exists if you go over the peak wattage or fuse amp rating. However, as long as the total of all the equipment connected at peak power and current usage is lower than the wattage and amp ratings of the power strip, then it is safe, as with my current situation. Both of my power strips are rated for 13A 240V or around 3000W. I have tested the maximum wattage for my entire setup under heavy load and it was only around 700-800W including the PC, Monitors etc. Do not try to do this with 5A 240V power strips, it's not gonna end well if you go over the peak rated wattage.

[@RAMBOLOGY]
