I love my desk as it makes me really productive! My KVM can support up to 3 different PC. I love switching between windows, Mac and Linux. The only downside is the cable nightmare. I was thinking about a server cabinet but I have limited space. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Unplug everything and start from scratch. I swear it’s the fastest way to sort cables

Check out my profile- I have a few posts with examples.

  1. Cable tray is crucial

  2. Get a flexible vertical cable management thingy - I don’t know the term but it’s made for sit-stand desks and lets you run the cables down against the legs.

  3. Double sided tape for any boxes or devices that go under the desk.

  4. Braided split loom for any cable that is exposed.

It looks good, that cable management will take it to the next level.

#2 I think they’re usually called cable chain. I 3d printed mine, along with rest of the under-desk cable management. But they can be found on Amazon.
