You could drill a hole in your desk, but not too big so it's noticeable, big enough to route all of your wires tightly and securely.

I really don't care about cable management tbh, especially under the desk.

I don't look under the desk so I don't care about making it look amazing :)

I honestly use all the spare twist ties I have around. Bundling the cables together in one line creates a clean job.
Spending a little money on cable ties might be worth the investment.

Gather cables together, then run them all at once as much as possible to a wall. Then run them along the wall until they can fit in a hiding spot.

 

But basically, if you can run them together and along something, it makes them less noticeable.

 

It might not be noticeable, but my setup, the monitor cables travel along the arms (I have VESA mounts for them), the keyboard and mouse cables try to meet up in the middle. everything goes up against the wall and to the left where they either hide behind the computer or go down underneath the table in the back. The things for my USB chargeable devices run around the computer from behind as well.

you cant hide cables, but organising them neatly is an artform people are willing to pay good money for ;)

(oh, and covering your desk in miscelaneous decorations totally works too :D)
