Câble management suggestions !

So I've decided to clean the clutter on my office so I've moved a lot of the stuff that was laying on the actual office to this shelf right next to it. However as you can see, there are still suite a lot of cables that I'm not sure how to handle and I'm opened to suggestions.

 

  • There's the DP cable. It's the most obnoxious one but it's relatively short and I'm not sure if I should get a longer one, and if I do, how to hide it.
  • Then there's the network situation that's a little tricky: the main cable is connected to a router, and then there's a second cable from the router to the PC. Unfortunately there's no way to route both cables through the back of the cabinet and I'd rather not have to drill a hole.
  • Finally a few random cables like my phone charger and a USB hub on the desk.

I'm going to buy next a monitor arm to free up some space. Then I'm considering adding a bit more RGB inside the case and maybe on my next keyboard. I want to buy one of these for my headphones when they are on sale. I have more room on the table now so I can add more stuff.

 

I also need better speakers but I like using Bluetooth ones so I'll get a higher end set.

I would take the pc off of that shelf, it just does not look stable. What I do is I have my pc on my carpet, but have a tile on the ground to seperate it. I also clean my dust filters every week. cable sleeves would also help. Try and get some velcro ties to tie the cables together so it look cleaner maybe.

I probably suck at taking pictures but it's actually super stable with a quite a lot of space around it. I did consider some velcro but I think I'll be better off with some kind of cable sleeves but I'm not sure what to go for.

Putting the PC nearer the monitor would look more impressive as a setup and hide the wires behind the desk.

That's where it was before but then it felt a little cramped in. I'll consider this though. I wanted the result to look a bit like this: https://www.instagram.com/p/CGctX4IHs-u/?igshid=9nb6ko8raqih
