I’ve tested hundreds of gadgets and these are the 12 accessories I swear by for a clean PC and tidy desk

Whether you just built your first PC or put the finishing touches on what was supposed to be your endgame desk setup, there’s one thing you probably haven’t even considered: how to keep everything clean and organized.

Yes, that’s right. While many of us already have our next GPU or monitor upgrade planned out, we often completely overlook the day-to-day reality of living with our new PC or desk setup. Fortunately, I build desk setups for a living and know exactly what you need (and what you don’t) to keep your setup clean, tidy, and distraction-free.

From an electric duster to give your PC a thorough cleaning every three to six months to ensuring that you have as much usable desk space as possible, the accessories below have served me well for years now. I’ve included a few options for you to choose from, like wireless versus hardwired electric dusters and fixed monitor stands versus rotating monitor arms.

Whether you want to clean your PC the right way before dust can damage its components or you just want to give your desk setup a much-needed makeover to add some extra storage space, these are all products I personally recommend after using them for years.
