| Yeah, my computer looked like that until I got one of those little plastic tubes to hold the cables.

I need a wireless keyboard and mouse. A wireless printer. A wireless tablet. And wireless connection to the camera, to the external HD.

| Ok.. that's ridiculous. I have a G5 tower, LCD, keyboard, "desktop" gigabit switch (im so glad the store had netgear instead of linksys. it's white & silver, matches with everything) wireless mouse ALL ON TOP of the desk, and then my old G4 tower UNDER the desk, with three cables into the switch (g5, g4 on 5m Cat5e, an imac on a 30m Cat5 in another room) and while it's a bit crazy UNDER the desk, on top, i can only really see one cable. the one coming to the keyboard. i think you just need to sort your crap out!

| You are partially right: I could order that better. You are partially wrong: some of the cable cannot be much better ordered: keyboard and mouse cable move all day as one move keyboard and mouse. The USB cable for the camera is also often on the move. And there are also power supply cables...

| I did that for a while, so I know how hard it is to keep it all organized. What I finally did was to find out how long I needed the cords to be, then coiled the excess and put a twist tie around it to hold it. It looks marginally better, at least. Plus, it's a little easier to move around that way, you aren't dragging cords behind you while you're walking from here to there.
