If you know me, you know I have enough electronic gadgets to kill a cow. After a while though, the rats nests of wires hanging all over gets annoying. I decided to buy a bunch of split-loom tubing to organize the vast network of cables floating around my desk. Here’s the result:
Here’s the PlayStation 3. From left-to-right, the power, optical audio, ethernet and HDMI cables fit perfectly into a 3/8″ tube.
My “Modified MyBook”… a 1/4″ split loom tube worked great for the power and USB cables.
This was the biggest improvement. The blue and black loose cables are the ethernet and HDMI from the PS3 (going to the monitor and router). The “conduit” (as I like to call them) on the bottom holds the wires for the center, left and right speakers, as well as the control pod; all routed down to the amp on sub (Logitech Z-5300e 5.1 THX). The “conduit” on the top has the power and DVI cables from the monitor, and USB cables from the remote transceiver and webcam. Altogether, 8 cables combined into 2 (going to 2 locations)… MUCH cleaner than before!
Not pictured, are the one which has the line and power cables to my phone, as well as the one which has USB and power to my scanner.
The velcro cable ties were used to hold the tubing along the rails of the desk. I’m very happy with the way this all turned out
