I was distracted by my phone much too often, so I created a system to fix that... for good. Watch the new vid here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4qlZ5Shl51ojqs

What happened to your co-host? (I don't want to butcher the spelling of his name)

[@runthejoules]

Degju was too busy at his regular job to continue on the channel, unfortunately.

[@cylencer275]

Saw your face I thought you changed your mtb channel. Lol!

[@mohammadmusharraf1889]

This is by far THE CLEANEST setup I've ever seen. And trust me, I've seen a ton of these videos. NONE of them this clean and tidy.

[@zahararay5611]

I would literally pay $1000 dollars for him to come set up my desk in exactly the same way, but with a white, pink and silver color palette. Well Done!

Maybe more

[@zahararay5611]

@@mrparkx2 I started to think that too!

[@Luka1180]

It's going to be way more expensive, prolly.

[@HuyNguyenVu-hz5mc]

$1000 Only for the custom table. If you want to include accessory I think it can be more than that.

[@Ubeogesh]

you'll need an extra $1000 worth of equipment on top

I bet you sometimes just sit under your table and watch your masterpiece

[@KaiDown]

Nice work! Refreshing to see an audio desk with clean cable management, I've seen so many videos that are essentially just "how to hide three power cables".. I'm running a triple computer KVM rig and this is the first video I've seen that actually handles a good amount of cabling

[@The1Music2MyEars]

I used to have a setup like this. Spent a lot of time on it too. Lived in a condo and my neighbor gave me bed bugs. Perfect hiding place for the little suckers with all the tight spaces the organization gives. Recently moved but never had the heart to do the same organization. Watching videos like this gives me peace.

[@akshatsingh5528]

Oof, this makes me wonder if I should ever try to have a setup like this :/

Your attention to detail, imagination and craftsmanship are amazing and inspiring. Thanks for making this video and sharing! I was looking for ideas to clean up all the cable spaghetti in my studio.

[@kiasohc5016]

That cable management is by far the cleanest I have seen. Cables are free and not twisted/bundled tight. Awesome job!

[@EoinCondon]

No loam in sight! The crossover episode I didn’t know I wanted, but that I needed.

[@rangersmith4652]

Congratulations on achieving one of the cleanest setups I've ever seen. I fully plan on incorporating some of these ideas into my current setup, assuming I ever get done refinishing the desk top itself. Earned my sub easily.

[@mylesnmore]

I'm working on building out my desk in the same way, this video gave me a lot of great ideas. I need the dock as well for my Macbook pro and I love the cable running ideas, I would usually group them together, but keeping cables separate is a better way to go

[@romeominecraft5500]

This man is the KING of cable management

[@FirearmTutorials]

Really nice! I like how you have the cables individually run under the desk instead of using a zip tie or tack tape to bundle them all together.

[@edwardleefilms]

The attention to detail that went into this is amazing. Awesome editing and footage too :)

[@ObsidianRST]

That custom DIY Monitor stand setup is Top Tier. I’m going to have to replicate it along with those custom cables. The regular cables stick out so much. I have the Gator Frameworks Desktop Clamp-on Studio Monitor Stands and they’re ok, but it has such a wide and narrow depth baseplate my speakers are hanging off. Thanks for the idea! You the man! Haha

[@janmuller9648]

Just wow dude... I clicked out of boredom, but was actually kinda planning to upgrade my setup - also including how to set up my speakers. You sir, knocked it out of the park with this one. This is excellent. Gonna copy and paste this one. Thanks.

[@UrbanBDKNY]

Very nice. Typically I wouldn’t want to drill into my desks to make holes but you found a creative way.

[@lihtan]

I love the ideas you've presented for cable management. I'm planning on how I want to build my next desk, and I want to do something more than just have a cable tray.

[@4sightfilmsLLC]

Fantastic work! I have not seen a desk this tidy at all. The cable organization is top notch! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Thanks for sharing!

[@giba232]

Now, we need a video exclusively for those awesome speaker's stands. Parts and step by step fabrication. The most fantastic piece of this splendid desk customization, and it's a DIY. Not available to buy it already just to install it. It is a fantastic job, well done!

[@Phaucs]

I feel like it wouldn't be extremely hard and he explains how fairly well but getting his exact specs would be awesome

MAGNIFICENT Job mate 👍🏻🏆 Love what you’ve done here. I’m finding so much inspiration from your efforts. Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺✌🏻

[@haxor812]

this is hands down the best and cleanest desk set up i've ever seen! keep up the good work guys

[@ArcadeObsessed]

Absolutely 100% I love clean and tidy workspace great work mate

[@KittenBowl1]

Thanks for the tips on how to keep all the cables tidy! Since covid days I have been working from home 90-100% of the time except some outings and rare customer meetings. So I recently purchased nice table top (light colored oak desktop) and powerful electric powered legs. It's been amazing actually as far as the desk itself. I was initially worried about electric powered legs may break down in future, but it comes with a 5 year warranty and it's a popular brand (high ratings) so I gave it a go, and I have been happy ever since. I am now on the hunt for a great monitor arm (in white color as the theme is white colored legs and oak desk top). I am in high tech (software industry) so most of my work is with PC. So electric powered desk that can be raised and lowered easily was a must for me. Now my neck and shoulder pain I used to get when I didn't stand up throughout the day just disappeared. I really want to setup my desk now with a 4G monitor and the desktop (as I don't really need MacBook now...I use smartphone while I travel though I currently use MacBook now), so this cable setup (especially the monitor cable setup part) was quite helpful. Thank you!

[@aaronjohnson8715]

I have the industrial/pipe theme in my kitchen, love the look.

[@sanj33v]

You gave me inspiration to build a standing desk of my own. 1. (Below the desk) The no-show wires (while watching got idea to make wiring inside the thick table itself) 2. The jack : mostly standing desks have hydraulics and they come way costlier than my budget. So the car jack principle is actually awesome. 3. (Above the desk) The stands/pipes give good aesthetics and remove clutter on the desk. Thanks for sharing. It will take time for me to build but surely will share once done.

[@redgar6467]

Wow!!! I am in awe of the setup. I rethink my setup almost daily. Sometimes I set staring at the desk trying to think of new ways and you have shown many i have not seen before. Thanks.

[@GETITINTHEEDIT]

Thanks for the candour and the most informative and inspiring desk setup - Everything I needed to know. Can't wait to get started.

[@ScantlessBeatz]

I thought I was crazy about my cables and keeping them clean and out the way this is on another level. I recently got a monitor stand like this one and reinstalled it x3 to redo my cables cleaner and the one I have it have open hole ports at base where you had to drill holes.

[@tomrwills]

I love the "sticky cable holder thing" on the back of the monitor. The attention to detail is amazing.

[@runthejoules]

Thanks!

[@TransplantHelper]

Those tiny cable clips are awesome. I got some last week and it fix all of my cable problems

[@KevinKolbe]

Nice work and behind-the-scenes of your set-up too. Thanks for sharing. Oh, LOVE the monitor stands.

Please, what chair were you sitting on in this video?

[@truecrimereaction]

Not sure how you were going to get those galvanised pipes to rust ha ha.. I’d turn your speakers away from the monitor a bit more so the edges of the monitor doesn’t change colours because of the magnets in the speakers.

[@aaronwilliams6165]

A lot of great ideas, thanks for the video. Your desk looks great!

[@spacedaddy5517]

Any good setup takes a lot of work. This is a well thought out system, good job. I am in the middle of my own adventure, with this giant microphone I have, I need the mother of all boom arms for this thing, king bee 2. I decided on getting this 39 inch post, with a pneumatic arm, that should pretty cool. It gives me room to mount more stuff on there later on, like a laptop stand. I have so many cables to get sorted out soon, I got a Furman power filter just recently, now I have to re-route all the cables, one final time. It's probably going to take several hours, no joke. I'm gonna set up some blankets and pillows on the floor lol.

Being in Tech since the early 90’s, spaghetti cables has been apart of life for ever. Bluetooth was a game changer by being able to nuke cables for the keyboard, mouse, printer, etc. and wireless for the internet. I’m pretty much down to power cables and the monitor cable.
