The Trouble with Cables

I've been fighting cable clutter for years. I have never found anything to deal with the cords around my desk from:
Computer, Monitor, Printer, External Hard Drive,
Modem, Router, Phone.
Every one of them has a power cord and connector cord.
So I decided to finally tackle it after reading some blog posts earlier this year about the Signum from Ikea


So I got down and dirty with the cords.
Got to be Handy Gal and break out the drill. rrrrrrrrr.
I intalled it and Voila....
not so great.
It just doesn't work unless you can get the uninterruptible power supply off the floor.
Mine weighs about 45 pounds I think.
It totally stinks not having it look completely cable free.
If you want to see an awesome job deleting creepy cables, check this out, from John Trosko's blog.
I love John's work and blog and I visit his site a lot cuz he makes organizing FUN.
