    In the end I decided to try these wire baskets: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCTFLRCP?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

    They can hang on or be lashed to the monitor, holding the Pi, power supply,
    hub and digital 'scope. It's a bird's nest, but pick-uppable.

    Neat idea. Are they insulated?

    Probably doesn?t matter, but thought I?d ask ...

    Sorta, but not on purpose. They're powder coated black.
    They pass an ohmmeter test with mini clips.

    However, it wouldn't be difficult to dip them in the
    sort of liquid vinyl used to coat tool handles.

    One would hope not, but accidents happen!
