Two things. Power strips and cable ties. (The colored cable ties are better since you can color code your items.) Break each item down into common components, i.e. printers and faxes, monitors and camera items, external drives and other external misc. like speakers, etc.

Plug them into common power strips, and cable tie those puppies! Problem with an item! You will know exactly where to go to look for the culprit. I use the method myself, and it's great. Looks cool also if you are the nerdy type.

Tell me about it! For seldom used items, they have their own decorative box (old shoe boxes covered with pretty paper), labeled and containing the device, it's cord, and instructions plus any other auxillary item.

Cords that are in use are first labeled at their junction with the device and outlet plus a place inbetween if it is a long run. Ideally I tape the suckers under tables, behind cabinets, etc to get them off the floor. If that's not possible, they get put into cord holders and run along baseboards (I hate that because the dust bunnies like to hide there too). Wish they had snap out baseboards so you could tuck those cords away!

That doesn't mean I'm neat and tidy, but it helps.

I thought we were the wire family....LOL....I look at them and just stress in amazement, what to do with all of them?...but we NEED all those cords, and remotes, AHHHH....I know what you mean!!!....what the problem is, is we don't have the $$$ to condense it into a unit that will allow us to access all the "stuff" we have, like in a universal type behind the walls system...so we have CORDS all over the place...but, hey, how obnoxiously cool that we are able to have all that stuff, when some people can't afford 2 television sets...so I don't bit*ch....I just look at it and look away....check to make sure no fire hazzard, and enjoy what I got!!!!

i think of my toddler became 7 days as quickly as I accidently knocked it off on an identical time as changing his nappy lol it were very almost off for an afternoon or so even with the incontrovertible fact that. If that's dry and black it ability it is going to fall off quickly, do no longer hassle. i became constantly advised to no longer sparkling it with something and shop it thoroughly dry in any respect cases.
