That sounds great! I’ll try looking for a black garden hose soon.

what I do is actually purchase a garden hose (1.5″ diam)
and cut it open …. the rest is to your imagination only.
You can close it with zip ties, you can scotch tape it, hell you can do everything that comes to mind and it stays on the cheap side.

Haha, hear you both about residue Michael and bnpositive! Forgot to mention that I’m planning to “upgrade” to black cable ties… still figuring out how to secure the mass to the frame though. Any suggestions?

Sorry about that twe4ked, and yes, as things get complicated I’ll have to rethink the setup. If you’ve got your own suggestions, I’d be happy to feature ‘em here

You know what I hate? adhesive residue. You know what I love? Zip ties. =)

I had my desk looking like that once, I didn’t last long, its not to bad atm, but with my laptop + a secondary screen, keyboard mouse, tablet, and external drive its getting a bit hard. By the way, when I clicked this link I thought i was going to be how to keep the virtual desktop decluttered. Always time for another post

Thanks

I do something similar but use plastic wire ties instead. They “hide” a little better than the scotch tape and also don’t leave any residue on your cables. Great tip though.
