Cable Management Outside

[weggie]

Hello,

I think im putting this in the right place, anyways, I wanna ask you guys how you manage the cables OUTSIDE your system. Mine looks like USB, Power, Audio and other cables having a messy messy orgy. If you can give me suggestions and maybe pics of how you manage your cables it would be very much appreciated.

You can try what my brother does and zip line them onto the table legs so that it isn't so crowded near the computer or tape them on the bottom of your table.

My systems sit on work benches, so I put a section of Panduit on the back of the bench and lay the cables in it. It can be covered if necessary. It comes in different lengths/widths. And there are other brands besides Panduit. Your local big box hdwr store carries it or a generic version of it.

Perhaps not the best looking if you have your system in a main room of the house.

You may want to check out IKEA.

They have some really good computer desks and cable management accessories such as this $10 item. You just screw this under your desk then place your surge protector and cables on it:
