I was having the same problem , hated having electronics and the walking extruder on the table beside the printer.
I used the Ikea LENNART drawer unit to store all of that in one place and mounted extruder on top of the acrylic build plate. This is the optimal place for the bowden extruder according to this.
Had to lengthen the wires for the extruder, still have to do it properly one day and printed this Kossel mini extruder clamp to attach the motor.
