Cable management is by far one of the best things you can do for a messy setup. From an aesthetic standpoint.
Every cable from my pc to my desk is in one big zip tie😂I need to do something about it
@@shootamcgaven7452 Holy crap! Lmao
i agree
And from a maintenance standpoint as well.
100%
5:03 the little attention to details like lining up your wallpaper with the desk pad is why your channel is unmatched
Crazy
What about the date being in March on the phone but posting the video in September?
@@jspesh 😆 🤣 😂
i didnt even notice that wow
@@jspesh its the exact same clip he used in the aprils video, so thats why its march
Multi-level toolbox. Super cheap, adjustable, holds literally everything I need for computers/electronics. 🤘
One desk thing I really love is over the monitor light bars. Helps light up the keyboard and desk in front of a monitor. I find it helpful even during the daytime.
i know it might be boring to some people but i’d really love to see more cable management stuff. not every product hits but when one does i feel like it makes a huge difference!
What kind of Xbox controller is that?
The lint roller is definitely a neat addition. 👍🏽
Those power cable management boxes ….. you need to be careful as for normal plugs their ok’ish …….. however, do NOT put power adapters inside them as the heat can build up and can cause serious safety issues !!!🔥🔥🔥
to add on, never plug a power strip into another power strip. it’s called daisy chaining and causes electrical fires.
@@dogegaming237 If you overload the first one. Most are rated for 2000-3000W, so unless you plug in so many things that it exceeds the rating, there should be close to no danger. I agree that it‘s still best to avoid it in general
What if you drill some ventilation holes in them?
@@grobxgrob you’d still need a fan to blow cool air into the box i think
@@grobxgrob I have the same set, it doesn’t matter if a there’s extra holes the small space and the plastic touching heats it up regardless. I have my cables inside all neatly zip ties but my adapters have to be outside of it. Still works for neatness tho.
This is such a good episode. I want everything except the air duster, but that's just because I already have a similar one! All great picks
Lint rollers are my jam for the mouse pad, followed by a wet microfiber towel wipe down for that final cleaning touch.
The magnetic mount for the screen is geniuous. I use my old iPhone as a webcam and so far i've been using a janky flexible tripod on top of monitor solution, but having the phone mounted on the side of my monitor would do wonders!
I loved this! Thanks for the tips, Frank! Getting a lint roller asap
A really good use for the magnetic monitor mount would be in tandem with that little stat screen you had in a video not too long ago, after I saw that in your video I got one myself and atm I'm using it with the official Nintendo adjustable charging stand which helps hide the cable a little (I can tweet a picture at you as it's pretty damn clean) but I think being able to strap it to the side of your monitor using that monitor mount and say a right angle usb-c plug to help make it look even cleaner is an awesome idea and I'll have to look into it myself

That spin of the Melgeek was perfect!!
Can't believe I'm watching this at 4am but gotta do it for Frank ;)
I would have never thought to use a lint roller for my mouse pad. Great idea!
QUICK TIP: If you don't want to spend 30 dollars on a cable box just use a shoe box and cut 2 holes on either side. I use a old vans box and it looks good and I can fit my 6 plug power cable inside for all my wires
THANK U
The cable management box is AMAZING!
lol the second i saw the lint roller part i found one as i have 3 EXTREMELY fluffy cats i used it on my pad and it made it look brand new! tysm!
I got cats an I use the small microfiber cloth cleaning duster (mostly sold as card interior cleaner) it has dangling microfiber cloth thingy that just captures all the cat hair easily much cheaper than lint roller I believe.
best audio quality ive ever heard its so clean and nice like im not even joking its crystal clear and amazing thank you so much its clearer than the crystal meth from breaking bad
i have been using a lint roller for years served my pads really well it's a must if you play a lot of fps and don't wanna change your pad every six months
My guy I have two rabbits and when I'm playing games I like to let them hang out with me. They always go for the cables, I had to pick them up and put all the cables on top to stop them from biting them. That box is going to be a life saver, thank you
Wow! This is the first video that shows me everyting i need! Thx for this RFP🎉
Man, I dig some of these hacks. Thanks
Been using lint roller for a while now. It’s works great.
Super informative and useful, great video and phenomenal b roll
as soon as you pulled the lint roller out i knew immediately! known this trick for about 8 years now and it never disappoints it picks literally everything up
I've been needing a cable management box. Thanks!
I got the cable management boxes from this vid, sheesh massive improvement right off the bat. Big time W
That lint roller is the bomb!!
I don't comment at all but I would like to thank you for the extra quality of life for my wife and I setup, I just cop the last two items in your showcase cause it would really help clean things up.
I also use a lint roller/brush on my chair…helps w the lint (from my blanket lol) and dust
For some reason I have a pronounced aversion against the "on top of your monitor"-storage.
All the other items I find pretty decent and helpful, but I could never see myself going for that.
I'm really considering something like the air duster, something to help me clean via air pressure. Cable management is always brilliant of course.
I know why we do not like that shelf-storage-on-your-monitor thing, everyone know the space between the wall and your screen is a void you can never reach. And that shelf is going to add stuff in that void easily.
@@v1d300 Perhaps that's it. I also don't particularly like mounting stuff to my monitor and especially not having it in my field of view while doing stuff. And I believe that would always be the case if I mounted it on a monitor which top I could reach at an arms length.
I don't like the top of monitor mount, either. If something falls, that's a scratch (or worse) on the LCD screen.
@@iPlayOnSpica Exactly
That magnetic phone holder can be used for MacBooks with the iPhone’s continuity camera (will be put with iOS 16 and Mac OS Ventura very soon). That would save you from needing a webcam or camera for streaming.
I was just looking for something like this.
This was a great video! Thanks for another one!
That new magnetic mount, the new iOS feature that turns the iPhone into a webcam (with the ability to look down and show your keyboard in a second view at the same time)is a major game-changer.
Five great ideas. Thanks!
I have those shelves, they work great!
ok ur smart for the lint roller idea. Thanks. subbed.
That lint roller advice is golden. I kept my mousepad clean (it still looks like it is new) because of it. I also use an arm sleeve while gaming to prevent body hair/dust from falling on it.
An arm sleeve? You mean a shirt?
@@sidinator3000 depends on the climate(half sleeve t shirt with just a sports sleeve from the elbow)
I was just wondering how to clean my mouse pads. Genius idea, thanks! :P
Going to order the top shelve and wireless charger Thx Frank
To clean my mouse pad with nog sticky things I use a "swiffer" basically one of those polyester static cling dusters they work wonders for mousepads.
Damn! Worked like a chaaarm! Thank you soooo much!
So frank, I'm glad you brought up the charger, because I found an amazing usecase for it, and with that, another step towards finally creating the setup I'd love to see on your channel. But here's the thing right? A wireless split ergo board, kept always charged using one of those pads and a qi charging adapter for usb-c.
That's exactly what I've been thinking about, actually. I just think my table is too thick to make it feasible :(
THATS SO FUCKING SMART I NEED THAT RIGHT NOW
Never heard of those adapters! That’s a cool idea!
@@willyumsstudio Thank you. :) I thought it was a good idea. Split ergo without cables is my minimalist fantasy. Its expensive but so worth it
Dude, I honestly forgot that you existed. Either way, remember watching you a lot of years ago. Nice to see you again, and crushing it!
Video was fire THANK YOUUU
I've ben using the lint roller for the last year or so. I feel so validated ! lol
random frank p is such a memer bro i love his stuff. also respect for still using the xb 360 w manz
Keep them coming man :)
The wallpaper on a phone matching the mousepad is godlike.
The monitor mount will work great with my spotify car thing! I was looking for something like that
Thank you so much!
great content! thanks for the suggestions! liked and subscribed
Make this a series!!
content always on fire.
What light is that on the magnetic holder?
Lint roller for the Clutch!
These hacks are only cheap up until somebody prolific like randomfrankp posts a video about them. Then, they're either not cheap anymore or sold out immediately. Being in Canada, most of these were never cheap in the first place due to import fees and shipping. 😅
But most of these ideas are good! I usually take his ideas and find other products to accomplish a similar vision.
That said, I like the monitor mounting ideas, but I'm clumsy with a small room and tend to bump into my monitors a lot.
One thing that is an absolute must for clean cable management is a server rack! or cable run way what ever you want to call it. I just finished my cables today and damn its clean! don't forget a surge protector to connect everything to and have only one visible cable exposed! Even if you don't have a sit-stand desk, it helps to watch videos on those to perfect a regular set up imo.
that magnetic monitor mount could be really good with the spotify car thing, ive been looking for a way to mount mine to my monitor
Oh shit good thinking!
I'm digging the invisible wireless charger.
IKEA Skadis Monitor Stand is amazingly cheap and useful to me.
Hey Frank what is the desk you use that has the dark amber look to it that you show the products on? It's really nice.
Great video!
Hey frank, Awesome video I may see if any of these products are available here in the UK. One small note, the link you provided fr the cable managament box is going to a childrens pencil case instead.
You just saved me so much money lol; absolutely genius mate
This made me realize I need to step up my cable management
I’m such a tech nerd for seeing this. You already have the iPhone 14 pro! Lucky!! I won’t be getting one for a while
Fire hacks as always 🔥
Great tips
I use a vacuum instead of a lint roller since its easily accessible, works just as great
but great hack!
That monitor shelf would be great for speakers/soundbars
Thats one big ass lint roller lol!
Used to use lint rollers to clean my pad too but after getting a mini vacuum i just used that instead 👍
Perfect upload time
hi frank, doubt you'll answer but I was wondering if it's possible to use the magnetic mount on the long top edge of the monitor where a webcam would be? Does your phone stay in place? let me know if it's possible/if you recommended it.
That's a great, cromulent tip with the roller. I wish I knew it 2 years ago when I smudged my mouse pad with floury hands
You should message the lady on twitter and give her a sensible % of earnings from the video
Great video 👍
Just got the Spotify car thing and I think that that monitor magnetic mount would be perfect for holding it up
Been doing the lint roller for ages now.
For tipp 2(foldable Magnet holder) maybe a 8.8 inch monitor underneath? I would try it!
Yooo love your vids
Get an air purifier with a charcoal filter! It makes you healthier, reduces dust that gets on your desk and in your pc, less sneezing. So many benefits.
Literally clicked subscribe after I heard “cuz I got so corgis” 😂 thanks for the great tips!!
another tip. When having multi monitor setup. Use black scotch tape on the back to make them all exact same size and block light through little gaps
I legit just got an L shaped desk for my workspace and I need this
I use a Razer Firefly mousepad - the hard side. It wipes clean with a damp cloth. A blower is only good for cleaning things outside, you should use a vacuum inside otherwise you're just blowing the dust and crap all around your room.
Na.. your use a blower to bright dust out from places and then a vacuum 😆
What style would you call that mousepad/iPhone wallpaper design? I like how it looks but don’t know what I would call it
Hello great video! do you have a link for this mousepad? Thank you!
Thanks
nice idea use a lint roller to clean the coke in your mouse pad
Where did you get that mouse pad? It looks awesome!
2 AM, thinking about setups it's a 24 hour think in my life
Lol, we have the same iPhone 14 Pro case and I have those cable boxes even before I looked at this video. Great minds think alike😂
Those pens are sick too, the ones you put on the shelf, where can I get those?
I use the Magnetic Monitor Mount top stick my phone to it and use it as a free webcam for Twitch streaming.
already using a pocket air blaster from my photography days of blowing off dust off lenses
The white crumbs are the worst on the weekends this will come in handy
Thank you, this is one of the most useful setup hack videos I've wathced so far. But the wireless charger link doesn't work. What is the name of the product?
lmao link to the cable management boxes takes me to a girls pencil case
Are there not heating concerns stuck various power units in a box unable to breathe?
