I just have a giant knot of cables behind my comp. Makes it hell to get the case out to reset CMOS settings.

I think everyone has that cable mess behind their computers. :D

My mouse cable has been really heavily tangled with the other wires and I keep having to pull the mouse frequently to allow proper movement since the cable length is much more restricted than it should be. Actually, I might as well spend a few minutes untangling the thing now...

My cables are so tangled, it'd take a hacksaw, two machetes, and a plasma cutter a week to clear it up.  On a side note Falcon Northwest employs a certified origami artist to fold the cables in some of their systems.  That has cool oozing out of it!
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

:wtf: fold cables too much and you run the high risk of damaging them....

i have three powerboards in my room
1 8 port is taken up by my main comp (pandora)
1 4 port is taken up by tv/vcr/radio/desklamp
the other 4 port is taken up by my other comp (raziel)

i have a crossover and a phone line running coarse throughout my room as well as the coax for the tv.... i dare not even try to untangle them.. i think they might eat me...:nervous:

and i'm thinking of hooking surround speakers to my comp as soon as i get i decent card (more cables, yippee:rolleyes: )

Might as well live in a cable drum, there are so many wires, especially now that theres the Broadband modem and it's fat cable taking up a lot of desk space.

Mine does! And deskspace is at a premium anyway, as the desk is little more than a shelf in a cupboard. Also, the Logitech WingMan takes up a fait amount of space, to such an extent that my keyboard has to be on an under-desk tray, of which nearly all the screws are missing, so one side is completely unsupported.

I wouldn't hae any room for such stuff, as there are wires everywhere. The only clutter on my desk at the moment is the shredded remains of an old mouse ball.

I got bored, and cut the outer layer off an old mouse ball, and then cut it into little bits. It's quite simple.
