    4 way zip tie base mounts! I recently redid my wiring in my stand. Bought a pack of 100 and used well over half. They are amazing.

    I did zip tie a bunch of things together, which helped. But I'm hoping for the next step.

    this stuff if you want to look real clean. PVC cable track is the search I found it under.
    Edit. search cable raceway. That's a better term for the stuff i think.

    Yeah that's nice stuff @blackx-runner@blackx-runner

    My suggestion is a bit different - get some Vecro OneWrap, either the kind that comes with the pre-cut pieces or the roll of stuff that is double-sided, then you can just staple or screw a strip down to anything and wrap it around your cables. That way if you want to change anything you can do it easily instead of cutting zip ties. Also a really cheap solution.

    If you mean mounting them, more Velcro!

    I mean to hide them. Don't want to put a bunch of effort in redoing my entire equipment room and have a pile of power supply out in the open
