question..

what's the best way to manage power cables, KVM cables (combo & singles)
and lan & phone lines that connect to 2 computers or more? also, I'd them
off of the ground too as well.

THe easiest and cheapest way I've found is to use foam pipe lagging you
can buy in long lengths from hardware stores.

Get a few feet of #12 or #10 solid insulated copper wire from a hardware
store and cut it into 8 inch lengths. These will be reusable cable wraps
that will last forever.

Velcro straps are expensive and a PITA.

If you've got a desk like mine you can screw a WireMold brand power
strip as long as the desk underneath (recepticles on 6 inch spacing)
and put an eye-screw every foot that you can use with the wire to
bundle up everything and keep it off the floor.

good ideas. what about nylon bands? would those do? I think I had
some but don't kow what happened to them. don't remember where I got
them tho.

would having additional kvm cables help some for the original input? I
do have 2 kvm cables. its currently hooked to the kvm switch to 2 pcs.
however, the single keyboard, mouse & video cables bears some thinking.
video cable can be replaced, with a kvm cable, but I'm not sure about
the keyboard cable & mouse cable. is it worthwile to go to the kvm
route or leave it as is.
