Tidy up the spaghetti wires beneath your desk   July 28th, 2007

Tidy up the spaghetti wires beneath your desk

Underneath my desk I have a mess of wires connecting my three computers to power, printers, scanners, Internet phone, and many other peripherals. I am always open to ideas as to how to reduce this mess. Wireless power is one alternative.

In an article "Field Trip Friday: Ultimate Home Office" author Brett in the blog "Startup Students" reveals an interesting way to solve spaghetti-wires under your desk using peg board.

The idea to control wires and make them much tidier is to use a pegboard and tie wires to train the wires into the direction they need to be pointed to connect with your devices. See the picture above for the end results obtained by Brett.

Now, mine will be a much busier pegboard with three times the number of cables and leads pictured by Brett. What about your under-the-desk mess? Will this idea be applicable to your space?
