Cable management tips?

[dennis23]

Hi. I just need some advice on cable management. My rig is quite standard, with 1 tower, 3 monitors, KB and mouse, which means there are about 7-8 cables going into the tower. What kind of tubing do you use for this sort of cables? If possible, could you also tell me where in Sim Lim I can get them and approximate price? Thanks in advance!

Haha, I would if I could. That would save me a few bucks. But the cables are quite visible under the monitors, so I need some sort of tubing.

Sim Lim Tower shops some do carry such cables. Ask the sales assistant for tips.

Bro I would raid Daiso or those dollar store. They have these nifty cable management items which can be useful.

I buy those 3m cable hooks and stick them to the wall.

yeah same but instead of sticking to the walls i stick to the back of the table carefully. scared the wall paint will follow when i remove the hooks la.

I spent quite a bit of effort on cable management myself...
I initially stick the hooks behind the table but they kept falling off (even though 3m tapes)... in the end gave up and stick to the rough wall where the 'connection' will be better

Other than that other cables that run on the floor i did like this;

Nice cable management there bro. Anyway I saw this table on sale for $90 Groupbuy on qoo10. How's the table top quality?

Thanks for all your replies guys. Really helpful. I bought a cable organizing tube from Sim Lim today, plus some metal wire. Using tape to stick them on the wall would make the cables cleaner but the last few times I stuck tapes on my wall, the paint came off after a couple of months. But anyway, cables are almost invisible on my desk now, so I can live with that.

Thanks. That was an older picture.. i have since change a bit as my adapter seem to only increase

here's the updated one.. the boxes are all used to store the power plugs and stow the cables away , as much as possible. If i can wayang and stow my driving wheel cables it will look even better but not practical as i stow it in and out

The boxes are really useful, even my wife dont complain after it made everything neater.

same bro...mine also.. my walls are painted > 10 years ago.. all the mounts tear out will tear out the paint... unfortunately to paint a wall is going to take a lot of time and effort no choice live with it until there is a big break from work.
