I have an open desk. It's basically a slab of wood on two legs. Probably one of the worst types of desks for cable management and for someone with OCD. Cables were a huge issue for me; case in point, any time I'd put my foot on the wall from my chair, the HDMI cable would flip out and my screen would blank out. Not to mention the microphone has like a 30 foot cable since it's designed for studios. So I spent about 45 minutes, a shoebox and the box that my R9 380 came in and when I was done I had one power cable for my entire computer setup (tower, 2 monitors, speakers, peripherals) and one cord for my lamp under my desk. All the excess cord length is stuffed in a box behind the tower and shielded by view from my monitor.

 

Point is, even if it's a ghetto cable management solution, as long as you don't have to look at it, it works fine (which is probably why you'd cable manage in the first place, right?).

What cheap and/or easy solutions do you guys have?

That's a really clean setup. LOL @ the cable management though. For my setup I ran the cables through the extendable table arches (I'm using a small dining table xD)

It's completely blown out of proportion. Also if you're the least bit worried about data gathering then you should go live in a cave a 1000Km from the nearest establishment simply because every device and every entity gathers information these days. In the current era privacy is just fallacy and nothing more.
