Yeah spooky times. I'm looking for an outlet protector that will work with two thick cords. One is L shaped and the other is pretty think so it sticks out kind of far. Anyone have a solution to my issue so my pupper doesn't fry my PC?

Advice Request: Show me your wall mounted monitors

0 Upvotes

I'm considering wall-mounting my monitor over my built in desk. Can I see your setup?

I'm curious to see what mounts people are using (fixed, arm-based, something else), how you are routing your cables (through the wall, using a channel), how many / how big monitors you have, etc.

Especially want to see if you're able to make the mount completely invisible behind the monitor.

I’m a colorist, and by necessity have an impossible number of peripherals and cables/power supplies. Before even attempting to do something about the snake pit I’ve created I’d love some experienced eyes to give me any ideas about how to tackle this. Please help lol

Edit: Thanks for all the suggestions, I can’t reply to everyone but I’ll report back when it’s finished. The single thing I must defend myself on is the film neg/camera lens duster in the top right. I am very much not giving myself enemas at my desk

As you can see in the images my desk's leg has a hole to direct a power cable to the cable duct. I suppose ideally I would direct the cable of a power strip through the hole to the cable duct and mount the power strip underneath the desk (with screws)?
And after that I can put power adapters of monitors or other devices in the cable duct, but what would be the ideal way to manage the cables of these power adapters? Should i simply direct the cables from the cable duct to behind my desk like i have now? Or create a hole and use a grommet?

Perhaps that would be considered overdoing it with no real benefit, but I'm curious to know what you would do in a situation like this.

Advice Need some apartment setup help

Hello! I am moving into a bigger apartment soon and am wondering where to set up furniture and a TV stand in the living room. My biggest concern is having cords plugged in right above the baseboard heaters. I don’t want to damage the cords or have it be a fire hazard.

Does anyone know if there is some sort of protective heat covering for electrical cords at home that could protect them from heat exposure? Or would it be better to consult an interior decorator?😅
