Before I begin, I've been a long time HardOCPer and love snooping around the forums but couldn't find a proper place for this post. Any mod can move it if need be.

I current have a nice corner L glass desk. Nothing fancy, was only $200 and has served its purpose well. Fast forward a few years. I have now taken on a nicer job and moved and now want something more admirable like a Boltz desk. The problem i have is all the crappy wires ruining the contemporary look of the glass desk. (I am not buying an iMac just yet) My questions are as follows:

1. Are there any glass desks that have some type of wire management like some of the glass TV stands I have seen?

2. Are there any glass desk wire management tips or trick or websites to show neat gadgets to organize your desk?

3. Can anyone show me an example of how they have organized there glass desk to give some inspiration on doing my new desk?

Thanks for listening and i hope to get some good feedback on the issue.

TIA again,

SKiZZ
 
Would it be possible to use some sort of tie wrap to tie any wires to the frame? I bought an L shaped glass desk last summer and found the best way to hide wires was to tight them behind the frame with tie wraps.

Above is my desktop (not currently as I am at college). Towards the bottom you can see what I mean. It looks messy probably because I wasn't finished moving back from college at the time. If you know where your wires will be going, it shouldn't be too hard to tie them up tightly and hide them.

Only downfall to this is you will see the tie-wraps, but you can cut the excess. Another possibility that may take a while is to insert wires in the framing itself and cut holes where you want them to come out.

more pics of my glass setup can be found here at the top... http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1031046775#post1031046775
I wish i took more pics, looks messy, but you can defiantly hide most if not all wires by using the frame as a "cloak"

This is the desk I want. Just for some insight. I have some ideas with some billet spark plug wire holders and stuff. I also need to make a final decision on my monitor and setup. i may end up mounting my monitor on the wall. I'm waiting for January till apple announces there changes and see if they redo there monitors and the other big companies.
