Just moved into a new place and now that i've got everything setup, the mess of wires is a nightmare....

Any ideas on how to mangle that beast behind the desk?

You mean there's a mess in the spots we can't see it? Oh no. :Q

Seriously, if I had a camera I'd show you a mess. You're fine. Just get some cable ties and spend an hour or two cleaning it up. The velcro ones are nice.

I used to have some velcro ones, but i could never keep them right enough..... Would Zip ties do the trick?

Pffft, you call that a wire problem

Only if you get the right ones. 😉

No, they're absolutely the wrong thing for the job. The RF interference from the particular plastic they use can make your monitor explode.

Zip ties are fine, that's why you will probably always see a few hundred of them lying around data centers (and thousands in use).

Doesn't anyone have pics of a _real_ wiring mess?

Yeah that's an old pic. I've since gone wireless myself, and cleaned up a bit 🙂

It works now, I got a 404 earlier. If you need a screen shot, I can provide it. 😛

zip ties will clean that all up. Still not much of a mess though. 😉

Well i know what my damn 404 looks like, i meant what 404 in relation to the pic 😀

 

[Klixxer]

Add two firewire cables and three network cables an you are close to my mess.

No 404 on that one.

 

[jtusa]

Yeah, just like others have said, that's not very bad. The rats nest behind my desk would shock even some ATOTers.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Put a piece of posterboard infront of them, really

Either that, or get a bunch of small ties from the grocery store
