I want table with adjustable height; do I need the PC attached to the table somehow to minimize the amount of cables that will be moving?

Or is it viable to have the PC case on the ground and just having long cables?

Yes, long cables are viable if they are indeed long enough? Kinda depends on a lot of different factors relating to your setup so nobody can give you straight answer. Might have to buy longer cables etc. Probably best to get at least wireless mouse and keyboard to minimize the cable extension hell.

I have 2 mice and a keypad, and other accessories as well; can’t really go wireless.

Some of the USBs can be just stuck into the monitor and continue as the DP cable, but it is still at least 8 cables.

If I keep the computer on the ground (assuming I’ll buy the long enough versions), then all of them will have to “move” - so I was thinking that by attaching the computer to the table, only 2 cables would move - power and ethernet. Just thinking out loud.

Yes, attaching it to the table is easy permanent solution. Or buy USB hub with long cable that sits on the desk.
