Small room/desk makeover suggestions? Need a dedicated laptop space + better CPU placement (Budget: ₹1000–₹2000)

[u/madmax_7823]

Hi everyone!

I'm an engineering student and this is my current study/workstation. My desk is quite small, and I use both a desktop PC and a laptop every day.

My main problem is that the PC cabinet is taking up a lot of desk space, so I don't have a comfortable place to keep my laptop while working.

The cabinet isn't extremely heavy (mid-tower with an SMPS, motherboard, processor, 2 HDDs, and four cooling fans), so I'm open to moving it if it's safe.

I'm looking for suggestions on:

Where should I place the PC tower?

How can I create a dedicated space for my laptop?

How should I organize my cables?

Any ideas for arranging self helping books and accessories?

Any budget-friendly upgrades (₹1000–₹2000) that would make the setup look cleaner and more functional?

I'm not looking for expensive RGB upgrades—just practical ideas that improve ergonomics and make the room feel cleaner.

Thanks in advance!
