Wires just seem to multiply on their own, don't they?

I can't help but post this picture of the back of the my computer desk when I was living at my parents' place in...(looks at the date on the photo)...2002. But even back then I had two monitors (CRTs!) and a bunch of audio gear.

My self-image, and most of my spare time, was pretty tied to amassing interesting tech to play with, since I basically had no friends. :) I set the desk back from the wall so I could easily go behind it for cable management. It kind of felt like having a little server room!
