I didn't know where to post this

 

Basically i want to improve my setup, not my components but my actual room/setup, for example a headphone hanger. Please include links. Preferably things under $50, but anything that can help my setup

You could have a better desk but the most important in my opinion is keeping you case up like you did so less dust reaches it, do not forget to clean it weekly since it'll still accumulate dust up there regardless

- ill do that asap

-I do have zip ties ill try to do that, one thing though, are there like staples for walls so I can loop an ethernet cable from my pc to the modem?

- I'll try and look for one

What should I buy to clean it? Certain tools? Links are appreciated, do you have a desk that could match the room, i'm looking for an "L" shaped desk

i actually found that rolls of double sided velcro (as in one side is hook, other side is loop) are pretty cheap, and they'd allow you to add and remove cables without needing to reach for the back of zip ties.

that is a good option, i was thinking of cost, zip ties are cheap and plentiful.

they are, but i'm thinking of future-resistance and user friendliness, and that IMO gladly makes up for going slightly more expensive velcro.

 

also, velcro looks more clean, zip ties just have this "garage bodge" look to them.

A bigger desk would definitely be nice, I could recommend the Micke Desk From Ikea It is a bit above your price range at 79$but it's a great option.micke.thumb.JPG.61ce73150b8317c9e8a8dbf407c74bba.JPG For a headphone stand, I can recommend the Satechi Aluminum USB 3.0 Headphone Stand.

Any desk in mind?

Measure how much room you have and look around, take advantage of the space you have.

Ryzen 7 5800X3D , Arctic Liquid Freezer  III , Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite , Corsair Vengeance 32GB , Gigabyte RTX 5070Ti ,  WD SN850 / MP44L

Corsair RM 850x, LIAN LI Lancool 207

Those compressed air thingys are great, they cost some but you can use it solely for the keyboard and inside case, it's a good investment
