One of the things I really can’t stand about my office is the mess of cables that are clearly visible to whomever walks by my desk.  As much as I have tried to clean and consolidate the cables, it still left a mess.

My solution was to take a trip to IKEA and pickup this cable management rack I saw on Lifehacker.

Installation just takes a few minutes, and then you have a nice cable rack where you can route and wrap cables around.

With this I ran the cables from my printer and Windows Home Server and pulled other cables together and got them off the floor.  Now it is much, much cleaner and organized.  For just $10, this really is an easy and cost-effective way of cleaning up your office.

just screw it

Yeah, that's what I think about it, too!

 

Seriously, great idea, ID! fortunately, my desks at home and at the office both have panels that help hide the wires, and for the ones that are exposed, zip ties have worked wonderfully.

Designed and built my own desk so as to eliminate visible wiring issues.  Back of desk has a 'door' to access the rear of the computer....so no need to remove the thing to alter/plugin connections, etc. ...

You still have wires showing Jafo. Unless everything is wireless.

Keyboard is bluetooth...mouse is wireless.

Only wires visible are from desk top level to monitor and L and R speakers beside.

Hint....wireless Monitors aren't going to happen....

I run my desktop off the wifi from the router downstairs. Never had any issues. Depends on the hardware you use and the connections.

I guess You haven't heard about this yet..... Link .....it's only a matter of time!

Wireless monitors exist.

Wireless power, however, would be extremely dangerous. Electricity may be shooting through the air, but hey, no wires! Priorities, man!

My wireless internet is incredibly stable from the other side of my house. Wired internet is a bit faster, but it's not necessary.

Now you're just getting silly.

Why not simply use a laptop with NO peripherals at all and be done with it....
