- gyrfalcon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Brilliant? Lets see:
A) Heat rises
B) Most devices have venting on top...
C) Lets zip tie everything to a board upside down so it's a pain to get at/change...and can possibly overheat.
Brilliant, I think not... - sjbdallas, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I think i'd like a combination of the "wall to wall" and the "underneath" solutions. The last one must not be for a real techie because he doens't have nearly enough cords.
- stevievep, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2you've got this concept all bass-ackwards...it's all about who has the fewest (ideally, zero) cords.
- illahtech, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Agreed, the rest were just mostly common sense, but this was actually impressive!
- digitalarcanum, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2you have to admit the peg board idea and zip ties were brilliant.
- 11arrows, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5The hidden desk in a dresser is a sweet idea. I'm going to try to design my own version, which means by this time next week I'll proably be missing a few fingers.
- freelancing, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Is this on a mirror yet? All the diggs have slowed this down - I cannot view the images. :(
- hypoh, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I actually do have a dresser as my desk, because my dad stole my real desk for his use. Really a terrible piece of furniture for a desk; no place to put your legs under, thus causing you to hunch over. The hidden desk has a keyboard tray, but he'd still have to hunch over if he were to do something on the top of the dresser.
- novahh, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1my external harddrive vents out the side and melts anything i happen to leave on my desk for an extended period of time (including but not limited to candles, candy, and CDs. yay alliteration). If I could mount it underneath my desk in a way that wouldn't melt my legs as well, I would love to. I don't actually ever need to mess with it anyway, so gyrfalcon's caveats don't apply so much to me.
- bushawa, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3Cord Management is what it is all about! I am freaking obsessed with it. I have never bought from here, but it is a nice site to look at (http://cableorganizer.com/).
I currently have the Jerker desk from iKea (the one shown with the "underneath" solution. I have all my cables routed behind that 6 inch tall stabilizer piece that runs horizontal. Results are amazing, with no cables at your feat to bug ya :P - digitalarcanum, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I don't agree with mounting an external hard drive on the peg board, but as far as power and network cable management goes, that's a brilliant idea.
- rouslan, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2You guys think you have a problem with cable organization? I have test instruments, wires, parts, prototypes, and schematics lying all over my desk at home and a pile of servers with cables all over the place right next to it. I once accidentally shocked myself on some wire lying around near the keyboards (I have several) while typing. After what I have been through, I don't understand how it's possible to create a mess with only computer cables. And the rest of the room is worse-I have 2 full piles of computer hardware and spare electronic parts.

- Novion76, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1cable management one really is brilliant. Simple, and brilliant. Only pull out what cord you need when you need it, rather than have them all lying about.
Upsidedown mounting was clever as well. - gyrfalcon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Hahaha you tell the absolute truth and get dug down by the bitches... If I was evil I would DoS lifehacker for a month.
- gyrfalcon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1@digitalarcanum "you have to admit the peg board idea and zip ties were brilliant."
Actually you might want me to admit that, but I'm not going to even pretend to... Why you might ask?
Well, can you re-ziptie items onto a mounted pegboard? Not really...You need to remove it an re thread the items.
If you cut the zip ties, what do you need to remount the device? More zip ties...
I'm not pretending to know how to properly mount the pile of crap that guy has, but velcro, or something else might be a lot better. - kaod, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2@rouslan
please give me the 90 seconds of my life back that was wasted reading that comment. - chrisknout, on 06/07/2009, -0/+0This site has some decent cable management options: http://www.buyrackgear.com/cable_management.aspx
- BingeBoy, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2Lame! Yeah I better have that cord on my wall incase someone brings a giant old CRT over. Come on man.
- JorgeGT, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1do you know that the induction of radiation will prevent you from reproduce, don't you?
- gyrfalcon, on 10/11/2007, -4/+2This is one lame article... Do the folks at life hacker walk into Home Depot and go "Oh what is this? PEG BOARD!!!! What endless possibilities..."
- Haphazardness, on 10/11/2007, -5/+3Bah... who needs cord management?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -12/+5Okay,
Now you can't tell me LifeHacker doesn't have some sort of Bot with different accounts and IP addresses digging up all their ***** spam.
Buried for fraud.
