Will probably play around with this, looks slick.

For folks looking for some other options I bought this cheap server raceway: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00008VFAP. Super nice to run the cables into the slots and then let the mess be inside there. I screwed one part into the desk and the cover I cut into 4 pieces so I can remove only one piece if I need to move cords around or whatever.

3d printed a few pieces for power supplies and a power strip but for the most part all cables go to the raceway. I had something similar to this original "underware" at some point but it was a pain in the ass whenever I changed cables/etc. So many extra holes in the bottom of my desk now

This project seems to be building on top of Multiboard [0], which is a lattice that is used as a base to mount all those runners and equipment holders on.

So the idea is that you put a lattice up with "a few" screws and then you can change everything else underneath without having to screw around any further.

I haven’t played with UW yet, but my understanding was that other platforms can work well with it, including openCore, which I’m very excited about.
Do you have a link to openCore? There's a rather unfortunate name collision with a Hackintosh bootloader that's preventing me from finding any info on it no matter which search engine I use.
Correct, it is based on multiboard.
Which has a completely untenable license. I was interested in these cable holders, but I can’t reasonably print anything that would require me to agree to the multiboard license.
+1 on this. Works wonders, costs nothing.
