Cable Chaos

Posted by michael on from the bluetooth-coming-real-soon-now dept.

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??"

    CABLE TIES ARE YOUR BEST FRIEND

    And then, if you got good, solid long ties, late at night with an attractive and adventureous coed, cable ties are a girl's best friend. (Sometimes I think BDSM is so popular among educated people simply because those dorm room beds are so sturdy and have so many tie points). ;)
