Now double them again to include the PS2, the network, phones, lights, and the crazy PS2 -&gt; PC cables.

The desk I use has a back wall which prevents nice bundling of wires, since you can&#8217;t reach them.  I have to just drop wires into place from above or (worse) feed them through.  A nice desk with an open back would help a lot, and that&#8217;s what I&#8217;ll be getting when I replace this one.  An odd thing about desks is that, figuring surface \/ storage space being equal, as the desk gets lighter and and more open it gets increasingly expensive.  The cheapest desks are both heavy and bulky, which seems a bit counter-intuitive.  Doesn&#8217;t it cost money to ship those things?  My desk looks like particleboard beneath the faux-wood finish, but when you try to move it you can clearly tell it&#8217;s made from depleted uranium, or perhaps a bit of condensed solar mass from a white dwarf.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Behold!
