Wakrak:

 

Tempted to get this $15 Ikea cable management rack (+ delivery). Just be waiting a month or two for its arrival. From Urban Sales or Idiya

 

 

Anything like this in New Zealand already?

 

 

 

 

 

 

False advertising. There's no birds nest in it.

I got my cable tray from Warehouse Stationery IIRC.  Basically the same as the Ikea one.

Didn't want to wait for a couple of months, so got it from Urban Sales. They have it in stock

This is my setup:

Click to see full size

I keep a cat bed on my desk for Pixel as otherwise she’ll attempt to lay on my keyboard. As I’m working from home she’s normally in desk cat mode.

Other features of my desk include the Xiaomi ultrawide along with 2x ex-lease Dell monitors giving me a fair bit of screen space, some Logitech speakers but as they’re “gaming” speakers they have all the RGB. A Masterkeys Pro keyboard with Cherry MX Blues, a MX Master 3 mouse and my caffeine addiction.

This setup is in a converted garage (my Mancave).

I see the tail end (literally) of the Planet Express in the corner :)

 

I suppose I should tidy up and take a photo at some point...

I used 2 of these from Mitre10, they do the job but it is mounted on the back of the desk so is not visible.
It can also hold a multiboard. The one suggested by Jase is more suitable if it needs to hang from the desk

Even if you can't get hold of a proper cable tray you can just get a length of spouting and a couple of brackets and mount that.  i used to use exactly that behind my entertainment unit some years ago to keep all the cables and power boards tidy.

I felt so bad by this that I've contacted @evilonenz and offered to send the JBL Quantum Duo I have here for review this week.

 

I am in AKL most of this coming week, so will send out the week after. Hang in there, you can do it...

The table might look a bit worse for wear, but I like it, not least because it has a panel heater on the bottom which is great in winter!

Like your setup. Can never have enough screen space.

 

Impressive photo of Paraparaumu. Could you share that with me?

The back of an entertainment unit can be tidy? What kind of witch craft is this?

Messy, but do I get extra points for having Geekzone open?

We aren't likely to have guests anytime soon so we've stored our spare bed and changed the downstairs spare room into an office with a second hand fold out couch. I'm pretty happy with how it's come up. The only problem is now everyone wants to come and hangout in my cave.
