FlexiSpot E7 Pro desk with a full PC setup on top

I love finding new ways to upgrade my desk setup. I’m on what I affectionately call ‘Desk v6.1’ right now, having started with a tiny (but cheap) Ikea job, a simple laptop, and a super budgetLogitechkeyboard. Each desk iteration has added new elements to the system (or removed ridiculous purchases that have me questioning myself even today - I’m looking at you double monitor-shelf). Strangely, each new desk setup seems to coincide with Prime Day, when Amazon is slashing prices on everything from cheap USB coffee mug warmers to full RGB kits. This year’sPrime Day gaming dealshit the shelves just this morning, so there’s plenty to choose from. Here’s what I’m buying for Desk v6.2.Prime Day’s best desk setup dealsDesks:from $47.99Chairs:from $46.72Monitors:from $74Cables:HDMI 2.1 from $6.79RGB:from $9.99Mats:from $4.99Stands:from $11.84Shelves:from $15.99A quick word about cable managementRunning a gaming PC, monitor, speakers, charging cables, lights, stream controllers, and everything else that sits on top of your desk can create a spider-web of wires. Before we dive into the big gadgets, then, it’s worth making sure you’ve got your cable management right. I’d recommend grabbing a few clips (they’re great for keeping wires trained to desk legs or the underside of your surface) as well as a runner tray and some hard-wearing adhesive tape. That last one will enable you to keep your extension cord stuck underneath the desk itself, making for a far cleaner look overall. You’ll find today’s best deals on the above just below.Yecaye under desk cable tray |$26.99$16.98 at AmazoneBoot 100 adhesive cable clips |$6.85 at AmazonGorilla double sided mounting tape |$11.99$10.98 at Amazon1. A monitor armA monitor stand can elevate your screen and provide you will extra space underneath, but I prefer a free-floating monitor arm. It’s what you’ll see in all those ‘desk setup’YouTubevideos that I know we all watch. I’ve gone for a fully retractable, gas spring arm that can move mySamsungOdyssey G5 in pretty much any direction. It means I’ll be able to get rid of the frankly obnoxiously wide stand that comes with the panel itself, and free up plenty of space towards the back of my setup.You’ll need to make sure you’re picking up a model that will fit your screen size first and foremost. After that, I’d recommend opting for a clamp rather than something that sits separately on the desk, and making sure that the actual pole is small enough to fit between the setup and the wall behind.Suptek gas spring monitor arm |$28.99$19.49 at AmazonSave $9.50 -This Suptek monitor arm is down to $19.49 for Prime Day, and offers a gas spring arm and full motion in its placement.

A quick word about cable management

Running a gaming PC, monitor, speakers, charging cables, lights, stream controllers, and everything else that sits on top of your desk can create a spider-web of wires.

I’d recommend grabbing a few clips (they’re great for keeping wires trained to desk legs or the underside of your surface) as well as a runner tray and some hard-wearing adhesive tape.
