I have a unique setup that I've been trying to make work for a while, but I realized I need to reach out for help with. One of the main things I need to change is the cooling on the main gaming rig which I plan to do full custom water cooling on in the near future if I can fix the cable problem. The issue I'm having is that I've got too many cables connecting the PC to the desk, and the desk is too cluttered with wires. I've started work overhauling the horrifyingly bad wall covers and desk, but the length of the cables is giving me significant issues. If I didn't have a sit/stand desk I feel like this would be easier to manage, but I do work at this computer for extended periods so having the ability to stand/walk is a huge quality of life improvement. 

 

I actually had given up on this setup and was trying to sell off all the hardware for around 2k (without selling the monitors), but the only thing anyone wanted was the ducky keyboard. So now I'm giving this a second try and seeing if I can make this the setup I had originally set out to make. 

 

Any help on this would be amazing. And again, I know there's problems with lighting, wall poster/paint, and desk. These are all being improved as you read this. Also the third PC is my laptop (not pictured) which has brackets and is sitting on the left wing now. 

 

Summery since I didn't do a good job asking anything: What would you guys recommend to connect the two computers to the desk? Is there a way I could use two thunderbolt 3 cables to connect to two thunderbolt hubs that would sit under the desk to connect everything that way? The only thunderbolt 3 hub I have can't drive both the 144hz monitor and the 34" wide 1440p monitor. Are there better and longer cables then what I've found to connect both computers to the desk?
