Improving my build

[Joshua Myers]

Can anyone help me with something I'm stuck on?

Without spending loads of money, how can I improve the looks of my build and setup and some things I should upgrade.

At a glance, getting matching displays will instantly clean up the look. Not exactly cheap though.

 

Secondly, a nearly free modification would be some cable management for the cables/wires that are dangling off the back of the displays and desk. You could probably get away with routing the cables from the left monitor through the channels on the right one, tie-wrap/velcro wrap them together, then create a single artery that connects to the tower. There are several types of wire anchor products with 3M tape that can be used to secure the cables behind desk so they dont droop into view. 

 

I personally just use some left over IKEA wood to cover my wires.

If you can afford them, custom sleeved cable extensions look really nice. They can be pricey for what they are though.

Your build still looks pretty solid, probably still able to hold out for abit.

 

What I would recommend is picking up a dual monitor arm for your monitors if they have vesa mounts on the back.

 

You can also try to route your wires slightly neater, bring all of them to run along the back of the monitors and let it come down in 1 single bundle
