Help with desk organisation

Go to solution Solved by Stentorian,

MY ISSUE IS SOLVED NOW!

I am a bit of a freak when it comes to keeping things organised and neat. Any my desk is the thing I like most to be nice and tidy. The only downside is I don't have that much room to organize my desk that much. That's why I am coming here and asking for the LTT Community's help. Any suggestions please leave below. Any feedback is also welcome. Here you can find images of my setup and places around my setup for storage of certain things. I am hopefully planning in the future to have a second monitor on my desk for my laptop for easier use of my laptop than having it on my lap.

I can only imagine one way, and it's going for something like this:

 

You have no real space so... It's the only way I think$_86.JPG

That is an amazing use of space! I would've never thought of that if I had a bunkbed. I kinda wish I had a vertical PC then I could put it beside my desk and allow more room on my desk for a second monitor

you can put your PC vertically with any consequence

you could also get some ultrawide monitor instead of two small monitors, for $300 you will get some 34" LG ultrawide

and install some slide table for the keyboard and mouse (if your desk is too low, you could get some wood of the same size and lift the whole table)

I don't think that would work with my type of style. Thanks for the suggestions though!

Extensions/long cords. 

I'd just amazon a long USB cable a and a cheap hub as well as a long 3.5mm m-f cable, and finally a long vga/hdmi whatever you use for that monitor. You can then put the pc under your bed.

When space is at a premium, wall mounting the PC could be an option. For the photos you've provided, I would try standing the PC up, put it against the wall and point the front to the bed. That would allow you to have more room for the monitor and mouse movement.

 

Oh and "TP" stands for Toilet Paper....

There's no place like ~

Horizonal surfaces are the bane of my existence. Less there are the less places to put stuff the less I have to see clutter.

Late to the party, but you could get an arm to mount the small monitor to. Then you could stand the PC up and that'd save loads of space

I have a pair of widescreens and the stands were massive. They're now mounted on a monitor arm which takes up literally no space, the monitors float and I have all the space underneath them back for storage.
