You can buy a cable box--basically a giant plastic shoe box to organize cables and power bricks.

OK, done screwing around with my desk. After several revisions and some OCD, here is what I came up with: On the subject of cable management, I completely fail in that department. The floor under my desk looks like a snake pit.

There is no way you come even remotely close to OCD. I still like your desk though. Why do you have three pairs of headphones?

Finally got a picture of my desk. Need to clean a bit and get my wires from my work computer organized (That'll happen when I get the new modem mounted and poo poo). The rat's nest of wiring won't be too hard, some I just have to re add to the group.

The LCD-2s were made to directly compete with Sennheiser's flagship model, the HD800, so lesser Sennheiser headphones would stick out like a sore thumb. Most headphone collectors and enthusiasts consider the LCD-2 the victor in that match-up, actually, but that is talk for the headphones thread or the forums over at Head-fi. There is no gimmicky audiophile voodoo or anything involved, they are just among the best of the best.

The outside two are Dell IPS panels and the middle one is an Acer that had the most favorable reviews / best average price on PCPartPicker. I love them but I still feel like I'm making inefficient use of the available real estate.

I guess the difficulty is that you risk hitting the cupboards to the left/right of your desk if you want to use monitors that are any larger. I bet you'd be able to fit 5 in, portrait style though.

VagueRant posted:Does anyone have advice on cable management and just general tips on fighting dust? I have an absolute mess of cables and adapters with cobwebs and dust all in-between and I can't exactly lift everything up to hoover/vacuum it. I use C-Clamps from the hardware store attached to the back or cross-supports of the desk and use them to hang the cables. You can also use the smaller ones at the back edge of your desk to prevent unused plugs from falling into the abyss. woot fatigue fucked around with this message at 16:29 on Sep 17, 2013 |

I have one on my desk and I never use it, it feels too low. Am I doing it wrong, or is it just a matter of taste?

I was kinda forced to spend an extra $500 on the processor, when you couldn't GET a 3930K (Newegg accidentally sold one to me they never had and renegged) and only one other processor fit the build... I'll be damned if I'm not gonna show off my $1000 processor box. It also holds SD cards, thumbdrives and random cables.

It's a Toshiba T2100 that I use to fool around with DOS when the mood strikes me. My X230 is in for repair, usually it sits on top of it. I also used it as a mousepad throughout highschool.
