Alright alright...i’m not going to show under the desk because that still needs working on - I can’t do this properly until I get the bracket and everything. Here’s some before and after’s, @AgentCooper are you proud?

The IKEA cable management pack thingy was a God send for sorting out my cables behind my desk. But there is no doubt that a tray to sit your surge protector or extension on is a huge help too.

Here's my yoke:

And here's what's behind the legs and back of the desk itself - just to give you some ideas!

And the tray thing that is built-in to this IKEA desk - you really have to love their clever design! Although I did have to do some extra drilling to get the monitor stand in my preferred spot too....

What do you mean with running it down the leg of the monitor stand?
The black pointy leg of the monitor stand that's to the right of the finger. If you put it under the stand, with a bit of slack, it'll be almost hidden.

I deleted my reply cause I tried to do it and it just cracks the cable, while initially I didn't understand what he meant. So it seems to not work ahahaha

Cracks the cable? Not sure what you mean. Run the cable down the left hand side of the leg of the monitor. So that it sits right beside it. At the bottom you could use a velcro tie-wrap to make it a more permanent feature.

For just a pic..... just push it next to it and it'll look fine.

Bang on. Although I must say that it’s oddly unsettling seeing you of all people giving cable management tips 😵
