I hate cable management.

Not like cable management as in, the process of having to tidy it - just having it tidy at all.

I condemn you all if you think having a desk without cables everywhere is a good thing. Y'all need to take a long hard look at your life and ask what's wrong with you.

Cables + messy desk is fantastic. This is my old setup but it was too clean for me.
(this is not a troll thread, I am serious. Desks are made to be cluster fucks, please don't make it 'clean' - You have to dominate your work space like a dog pissing on a tree)

If even one of you says "oh but my mom bought me a $500 desk" - that's not an excuse. That's being pussy whipped by your parents.
This is the type of shit i'm talking about.

"Desks are made to be cluster fucks"?

I think you're just trying to justify being lazy. You're looking for excuses to not have to clean so you tell yourself they are made to be cluster fucks.

I prefer having a clean and tidy desk myself tbh.

There's a difference between being clean and being a cluster fuck.

No it's not about being lazy - it's about dominating your work space. Sure if you are some school kid who needs to have room for his oversized mousepad that definitely isn't compensating ... then whatever have a clean desk.
I wrote on my desk in sharpie. Good vibes, promoting creativity, etc.
It's not messy though, there's nothing to clutter it

That second picture looks like a fire hazard but the first is fine- it's your desk. You do you
My cable management game isn't so good either

Alright then. If you like messy desks then so be it. I'll stick to my clean desk with as few cables visible as possible. Can't stand a messy desk.

It would like nicer with a couple external harddrives plugged in and sitting on your desk with maybe your phone charging from the front usb jack. That would be a 7.5/10 for me.
Also love the mouse pad.

Zip ties are great because if you throw them on randomly, it adds to the cable effect.
Heey! We got the same UPS! Haha, you should fix your cable managment though, go to ikea and pick up some cable managment stuff. I really enjoy fixing my desk and having it as clean as possible. It's acutally "fun" to fix your cables. Try to always aim to make your desk as good looking as possible!

No. At least use black and don't bunch them up like that. 1 cable tie per cable.

My setup is 10x better than yours - Mr. I rage in league of legends.
I used to give zero fucks but got tired of having to walk around my work-space like a fucking flamingo.

Send me your PC specs if that's the case, let me see. 😅

Please, my PC specs have nothing to do with my setup. Each machine I own has a purpose - none of which involve raging at kids in League of Legenados or playing CSgo.

Lol I have a rather huge living area in which my shit is and the cables feel welcoming. Having it clean in the space I have just feels so stupid and uncomfortable.
