Cables and labels
I received a catalog from Cyberguys a while ago, and in looking through it I see a lot of ways to label and organize my cable and other wires.
I'm in need of something for myself, and I often get asked about such things, but I'm not very good at keeping my own set up organized, so I'm wondering if you guys have any effective and inexpensive recommendations.

Drill holes in the desktop, run wires through them. Fini.

You can tell I don't use much that I have to buy- I save good wire wraps from kids toys, the nice ones not like garbage bag ties.

I use a lot of tape........ and I like dollar stores so I have it made! I have wooden countertops where the comuters are, and they are not
valuable so I usually run cables down through it. or along the top of the backsplash along the joing where it meets the wall, neatly of course.

I don't like the wires wrapped together, I need to move things a lot, so I just run them the best I can.

For keyboards and mice if you have the pull out drawer shelf, and if you have wood to drill through, that's the best way to hide wires that are always drooping down and getting the dog confused or worse....
