Cable Chaos

thames writes "I have recently moved in to a new college-dorm, and I'm reinstalling all my electrical equipment, such as DVD-player, CD-player, Stereo Receiver, Computer, Speakers, Mini-Disc-player, Video, Playstation, TV and so on... All these things are connected via multiple cables, so I have approximately 50 cables running in my room, and it isn't pretty... My question is: How do I get rid of all those (or most) cables, without throwing my stuff out the window??"

Duct tabe & cable ties.

You can get a ton of both for under $10USD and you can do just bout anything with enough of them.

You brought this to a dorm?

Heh. Having lived in a few dorms in colleges around the country, I'd say - don't worry. In the next two months, they'll all grow legs and walk. And the stuff that doesn't walk will get a layer of raspberry jam from vendor machines, semi-dried Ramen noodles and bongwater.

At that point, the cables will be covered with dirty laundry, stolen signs and a bunch of bags from fast food restaurants (placed there after you notice that the union food is made of the four nonfood groups cement, slime, sawdust and grit).

In short - don't worry - you're at college. Enjoy yourself, study enough to stay in school, and learn to deal with the distorted realities of life that are campus existance.
