Has anyone build any cable management solutions into a desk before?
No, but it's on my list of ThingsToBeDone - I have desktop build planned (much the same as @soul has built), and am considering options for cable / power / charger management.
In all likelihood, it will involve power bars under the desk at the rear, a few slots routed out, and some sort of box on the surface for the most egregiously cluttery usb nonsense.
I do have a wired keyboard & mouse, though, because latency and clickyclacky mechanical keyboard.

You can get mechanical wireless ones right? I don't FPS anymore so not that fussed about latency tbh.
Anyway, @Soul - got pics?
@Acliff that's the idea behind the pegboard, hides cables, and creates 'off desk' storage too. Need to figure out if I want pegboard thick enough to support the monitor mount or whether I want the monitor arm to slot through the board somehow.

So, cable management.
I'll be using a wireless kb and mouse which helps, but given that i'll be using a slab of wood for the desk, i figure there might be some clever solutions I could use for keeping things tidy without stashing everything away in a way that makes it a nightmare to change any wiring etc. Building it in from the start rather than retrofitting seems a better way to do it.
I also have freedom to decide where to place my sockets in the wall.
