Something very little yet very important in a setup is cable management.

Behind your PC it looks a little bit messy. Try buying some twist ties or similar products and wrap them around your wires and make them non visible.

Maybe mount a power brick under your desk? (If it already isn't)

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, Me and cables do NOT get along. I'm absolutely dreading setting up my new desk tomorrow when I have to unplug (& untangle) everything, I have a multipack box of all the different sized cable ties for that reason, I just never got round to it yet, but twist ties might sound like a better idea honestly, as they are considerably easier to remove.

Uhhh, What do you mean mound power brick? Little confused

I'm talking about something like this

It gives your setup a really clean look and your feet won't hit any wires, that's if there are any wires in front of you.

That is some next level sh*t right there, I've never seen anything like that before, I'm in awe right now! Might seriously have to look into that!

Thank you for the info +rep.

Vase wrote How did you mount yours exactly?

I honestly don't have a PC setup of my own yet, so I'm talking out of experience from my friend's setup.

He essentially used a Pegboard to attach to his desk and from there he used hooks/clips to attach the wires/power bricks to it.

I'm not sure if some desks already have one pre installed with them or not.

Definitely doing this, just looked on eBay, pegboard sheets are relatively cheap, and all I will need is screws, and hooks.. You sir are a genuis!

Why do you have two screens the same size and the third in the centre slightly taller? Did you want it like that or did you have two that were alternate sizes?

They are all the same size (23") just the monitor height hasn't been altered since I moved in, it's like 1cm higher than the rest (need an Allen key to twist the thing on the back to lower it, and I don't have one, the joys of living solo aha) I'll go grab a set tomorrow when I'm getting the new desk
