How do you handle cable management? (lemm.ee)

I work from home and I’m going to school so I spend a lot of time at my desk. I can’t work if it’s cluttered and these cables are driving me crazy.

I built a custom desk using IKEA countertop and file cabinets that runs the full length of my wall. One half is for computer and one half is for other projects that need space!

I love it except the cables are wild and have a mind of their own. I’ve been researching methods so I was wondering:

How do you manage cables?

PS! All your stations have been awesome so far. I’m jealous!

I only use a bit of twist ties, hooks and a box to route and hide all my cables. The twist ties keep all the cables into a single big strand and the hooks keep them level until the end of the desk. Then they all go down into a box that hides the extra bits and power bricks etc...
