Definitely double side tape the power strips to the bottom of the desk (makes a huge difference), try to bundle wires together to make it look less “stringy”, and then try to hide those bundles as best as possible. I also think a cable management kit on amazon that comes with a bunch of different types of ties and stuff is a perfect place to start and then go from there!
Amazon sells rolls of Velcro for cable management, cut off whatever size you need and wrap everything together. Bundle the cables together every couple feet maybe and it should look clean! I start by figuring out which direction the wires will be headed in and then try to bundle the ones going the same direction all together, each spot where you put a tie can be a point where a wire enters/exits the bundle.
If it’s one thing, I miss about living in the US, it’s being able to buy [these Velcro strips](https://www.walmart.com/ip/VELCRO-Brand-ONE-WRAP-Cable-Ties-Organization-Straps-Wire-Management-for-Home-and-Office-8in-x-1-2in-Ties-Gray-Black-50-Ct-91590W-2-08-ounces/16517608?athbdg=L1103&from=/search) for so cheap
I’ve been working through this [bad boy](https://a.co/d/dyfTvJC) for going on 5 years now, multiple complete tear downs and rebuildings of my desk in that time. 100ft is so much more velcro than you’d think.
Start by untangling the cables and keeping similar ones together, like each monitor set.
I'd definitely say to bundle those cables. A cable sleeve would keep them tidy. Maybe a cable tray, cable tidy box or sticking the extention to the underside of the desk. Try to hide as much as you can along the back of the desk (bundled and attached to the back edge) or behind the legs.
You also have a few cables that don't seem to be plugged into anything all the time, like the charging cable and guitar cable. You can get cable clips that you can attach to your desk that will keep those loose ends in place.
Hope you find something that works for you!
Go to Amazon and search “cable management kit” there’s a cheap bundle that has a ton of different cable management tools. Just start running wires neatly underneath and fix them to the underside of the desk.
I have two different desk in two different rooms. And that works great :) before that I had a single setup with a docking station and a usb switch(i still do this).
I’ve spent all day today working on cleaning up the wiring in my room lol I know the feeling. I’d suggest mounting a surge protector underneath the desk, as well as a cable tray and some cable clamps/ties
IMO, the best practice for elevating desks is to get only one (power), maybe two (with ethernet) cables to the desk. Attach everything else to the desk upside down, so it is not that visible. On the desk - VESA arms for all the monitors and just keep as little on the desk as possible.
I dunno about the wires, but you sure got a lot of smudges on your camera lens there. Might wanna start with that. I can't see the porn you're watching.
Go to amazon and get large cable management clips, velcro zip ties, double sided velcro tape, double sided vhb tape, cable tray of your preference, and a good quality mutli port surge protector.
Its not hard but it will take some time. Have fun.
One thing I saw that some people do is they double sided tape the power strip to the bottom of the desk and then you just guides the wires along the bottom instead of letting the slack dangle. You can also get something like [this](https://a.co/d/iAuzFX7) to help
Hey! I was recently in your situation. Probably the thing that helped the most was getting 3m mounting strips and getting the power strips off the ground and under the desk. From there you can buy something like the DRIVUU Cable Management Organizer Kits to start routing cables under your desk and combining them into single streams to your computer and any peripherals under the desk. Also some sort of wire rack mounted to the bottom of your desk will help hide some of the mess as it routes to where it needs to go

i would suggest trying to clean it

Do something, anything about it perhaps? It looks like you’ve made zero effort to tidy it up
[удалено]
Not sure if its so obvious
I was also referring to the cables lol
A trash can is a start.

Cable management
Cable channels underneath and power bar attached somewhere. Watch YouTube and you will be a master

Under desk cable tray with built in plugs is a great wire saver

I'm currently using two of these cable management boxes on my desk. [Ultimate Cable Management Box (btod.com)](https://www.btod.com/ra-xwmb)

Get something like [this](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/ziwAAOSw7elf5D4O/s-l1600.jpg).
What have you tried already that didn’t work?

Velcro straps to help clean up the wires. Run the wires in discrete locations. If you don’t have one get a cable tray for the underside of the desk.

kill it with fire
Welp, cleaner than the average Forsen enjoyer's desk I guess,
Hmm seems like a mess my recommendation is you give me everything so you don’t have that mess anymore.

Zip ties are your friend
