[UselessBread]

Why did I do this? somehow it doesn't help:

 

How do I make this look this beautiful?

[joelthezombie15]

Velcro the cables to the bottom of the table. 

 

Or tape.

Cable ties.. All the cables ties.

Alse the white brick just almost crushed my foot, how do I prevent that from happening? Duct tape?

I tried velcro once, It didn't last.

Well you don't have to get that one but its the only cable box I know of. You can DIY but make sure your box is fireproof.

Duct tape.

[Samdb]

Get a piece of wood and cover it. The lazy mans difficult way of doing it.

[IdeaStormer]

Duct tape does solve problems but also introduces problems.

 

Ever remove duct tape from something you had used duct tape on? Yea, a freaking mess on the item.

 

Best would be to either strap that white power brick with either a metal/plastic/cloth strap and then get some short wood screws and screw the strap into the desk bottom. Then, when ever you remove it you just end up with two small holes on the bottom of the desk, not duct tape residue over everything.

 

Cable management is more than just a device to hold the cable. You might want to wrap the excess into a loop and twist tie or zip tie the excess into a neat loop then strap it to the bottom of the desk. I will find the looping methods you can use (also on LifeHacker).
