Need help optimizing new desk setup

[Dazreiello]

OK so, this is long winded and I'm sorry but I'll try to explain everything the best I can!

 

My plan: swapping from a standard glass right angle desk to an electric standing desk set up. I want to set up a good clean cable management and have a few things planned to purchase to help with the organization. I want to minimize the amount of cables that run up the leg of the desk so I want to use extension cables and hubs for my devices.

 

My rear PC ports:

4 usb 3.2 Gen 1

2 usb 3.2 Gen 2 (A + C)

 

My problem: putting my PC on the desk itself to take away the need for extension cables isn't too feasible. I got a full tower thinking I needed the extra air flow so it's HUGE.

I can't seem to be able to find gen2 extension cables to attach to gen2 hubs so I can maintain my ability to take advantage of those speeds if I really need..

 

What I need help looking for:

USB 3.2 Gen 2 type A extension cables (preferably 6ft)and hubs?

Or maybe...

A pc case with good cooling, supports up to 4 HDDs/SSDs, has 4 usb 3.2 Gen.1 & 1 usb C-type 3.2 Gen 2x2 in the front (my motherboard is z690 phantom Gaming 4/D5), and preferably good dust filtering.

 

If anyone can help with this or have any solid suggestions, please let me know!

Looked pretty hard for any rules about bumping and couldn't find anything all too clear about it so sorry if it's not allowed, please warn me if this isn't allowed!

One more bump x.x

Sorry you have been bumping. For those requirements of a case there may be other cheaper options but I found the Cooler Master HAF 700 to have these. Please also note this is a very large case.

 

For cables I mostly found ones maxing out at 5ft from Fasgear and MyCableConnection for a type a to type c into a hub.

 

For hubs I found UGREEN and Yottamaster. Yottamaster has a detachable type c connection and I believe it is powered but there are not many reviews. I do have one but don't do much data transfer on it. Many other hubs including UGREEN seem to have a cable always attached. Potentially a thunderbolt dock might work in your instance instead.

Ooo thank you for input! Yeah I guess what I need really hasn't been in much demand to make x.x I also hear of they did make extension cables and hubs that did full Gen 2 it'd be super expensive. A thunderbolt dock you said? I'll look into all these options, thanks so much!

Actually, is putting my huge tower pc ontop of the electric standing desk a good idea? Or should I keep it on the floor? I definitely want to make my cable management neater and I already have a plan for when it's on the floor but is there like a usual strategy for cable management with the pc on the standing desk?

[Dazreiello]

This is a bump, Im sorry >.< But this is how I imagine both set ups would roughly be like. I wondered what would ultimately be neater and/or just generally better for any given reason. Remember the main desk is going to be a standup desk, so its gonna need to be able to raise up higher than that
