You could make something like a second wall. Take a thin wooden plate, make it as big as you need and mount it either on the wall, or right under your desk.

thanks anon, both good ideas. I might go for that ikea basket since I'm rerouting stuff constantly and it won't make me crazy when I move.

you can just buy longer DVI cables you know.

or string

I did know that but for some reason I thought they got super expensive, but it looks like they're like $7 per cable which isn't so bad. I could always /csg/ them I guess too.

1)Zip ties the cable that go together.
Example : all power cables to our voltage regulator

2) align pieces that go together : router is on the left side however the computer's back panel is on the right side. Either move the router or turn the computer around

Drill a hole in the drywall, ~2" near a stud, directly behind the desk, route cables through wall using a fish tape, drill another hole. Viola.

Plates look much better, but you'd have a hard time installing them. Also drilling holes is free.

I wish. I rent, and there isn't any drywall. Otherwise this would be the optimal solution for sure.

Under your desk. It's a good start

fold cable in hand
wrap zip tie around and pull
your desk is now neat

Get some Velcro cable ties, much better than zip-ties

these are also extremely good, and come in many useful sizes: https://www.amazon.com/Nite-Ize-ProPack-Reusable-Rubber/dp/B00SHBN21S/

I use a piece of white pvc pipe screwed to the back of my desk and velcro cable ties. I used convoluted split loom on my /vr/ station and it works but is a pain to separate anything.

Buy Velcro
Give yourself 1-2 hr to do this
Pull out your desk and unplug every wire that's connected
Then start by routing your cables in ONE direction of possible and tie them down with Velcro
