I've just had a major reshuffle of all my PC and related stuff, as the messy cabling was really starting to annoy me. As it turns out, it's only slightly more tidy now than it was previously. I need a cable management solution.

Post pictures of your set up, with labels, so we know what we're looking at!

This is not an e-penis thread, so don't start telling us about your PC specs unless you have multiple PC's and need to explain their purpose.

Mods, if you want this in PYF or something please let me know, but I think the kind of response I'm after would be better here.

I'm not sure what's worse, having diabetes or using an ergonomic keyboard.

To contribute:

That bag all the way to the right is filled with Model M keyboard keys. I got bored one day.

Hey, it's a check-fraud person. Anyone else worried about the giant STACK of checkbook boxes in the corner by the unused towers?

I'm more frightened by the two AOL 5.0 discs on the left (700 hours free! WOW!).

I saw the lancets and glucose tabs and worried about diabetes.

The apple wireless keyboards work great in vista and xp. You just need to get a copy of the apple bootcamp software from leopard to make the volume buttons work.

I don't care how many people I probably infected with COVID-19 while refusing to wear a mask, my comfort is far more important than the health and safety of everyone around me!

I took a picture of my desk the day I started here. I've cleaned up a bit since then

Kugyou no Tenshi: Nov 8, 2005; We can't keep the crowd waiting, can we?

I didn't feel like screwing up the picture with a shitload of arrows pointing to poo poo, but the only really non-obvious thing is that the red "Chinese Takeout" box turned out to be just the right size for coiled USB cables, and since I have too many of those that I have to swap out (with proprietary connectors, no less - thanks old Motorola phone!), it serves as fashionable yet practical storage. The rest should be more or less self-explanatory.

And yes, I am a huge anime/cartoon dork; if the wall scroll in the background and the transcode occurring on-screen weren't evidence enough, that's Dr. Girlfriend stuck to my monitor and there's a video game promo picture on my PDA.
