what to get?
Got two home his 'n her computer stations set up on an 8' folding table.
Printer, fax, and scanner shared and between the two. Also telephone. There is an unsightly mish-mash of cable snarls that has accumulated. I want to straighten this out, organize it, and make it look more presentable. Need recommendations as to products/sources of some kind of conduit/runs/containers/whatever we can get to sort of hide the cables and help organize them better. |

One of the handier ones is sort of a corrugated plastic tube that is split to add/remove cables. Various sizes, check Radio Shack or simlar. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

A two inch hole in the center of the table to run the scanner, phone, fax, etc. cords through. Then a split loom to run the cables away from the table to wherever they need to go. Wireless mice and keyboards are cheap these days and actually do a good job! |

A section of PVC rain gutter worked quite well for me.

Get a nice piece of 1/2" plywood , fit it to the underside of the table.
Then install it under the table 6" from the wall. Putt all the cables behind it and cut access holes to come out to the towers. The cables can't be organized.

Had to laugh when I read Steve's response. I've tried it to, and, until
now, those cable runs refuse to be tamed. |
