Computer wires

I actually need to do this with my own computer wires, they are all tangled up under my desk, and I am always starting to trip over them when I go to get up from the desk, maybe now, I will fix them, where I know someone else did it.

Just be careful of electrocution friend...

I did that long ago also hung them on the wal to keep up off the floor so not much but dust can get on them

Hey jugs! I have tried to untangle my wires so many times and no matter what I do they get all tangled again! And my cat, Star has his bed behind my computer desk! So, his hair is all over the place back there with the wires! I wish I could figure out a way to tape mine too so that they would stay untangled! I'll have to see if I can figure out something!

Hi I had the same problem - too many open wires and also pets' hair flying all over!! I suggest ( like I did) bring all those wires together and as you have already taped them together put them in a corrugated plastic sheath or corrugated tubing ( like the ones use in electric or telephone wires) - you get them in various colours,lengths and thicknesses at any hardware/electrical or even computer stores. Not only then these wires stay free & very clean but the place looks much better and easier to maintain -later when you have to add or remove any wires is a breeze and hardly time consuming.

hello jugsjugs..and thank you for inviting me as your friend..well all i can say is that we all have the same problems about computer wires and also same actions taken but still its messy.. hihiihihi just be cool anyway without those wires how cam our computer works and one thing we are earning cos of them.. cheer up!

I know the feeling only too well. We call our computer wires "Spaghetti Junction" after the famous roadway in Birmingham (England) where from the air the roads criss-cross over each other like a mass of spaghetti. It is the same behind our TV set, but when I tidy them up, it is difficult to know which wires connect to which sockets again! _Derek

well that's good for you that you are able to do that unlike here in our house. hehe well its my husband who usually do those things in the house since i don't like touching wires coz it irritates me. hehe but i think its been a month since the last time hubby do this and i think for now there's already a lot of dust and dog & cat's fur piling in there plus some fallen hair from me as well...hehe maybe i will try doing it myself or just ask my husband to do it, the least that i can do is sweeping the area where they are.

hi jj, i used to have so many wires just lying free at the back of the computer table that i will not notice a snake (if there ever is) together with it. and my dog loves to make his bed there when i am online. i tied each one with a rubber and it looked much better and organized. have a nice day.. ann

I can imagine how your wires looked because i have five dogs roaming freely inside the house. They sometimes eat my wires imagine the pain of fixing and connecting badly bitten wires from time to time. Glad that you finally have osrted the wires. It's only a matter of time when their hair accumulates in to the wires again

Near my computer i have the black and white printer, color printer and scanner, the wires that emerge from mine are many, the cam wire, the microphone wire etc, i have tied them in bunches using fine wire, it is good you you used a tape for the wires from your computer... Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Prof

You have no idea how messy and mangled my computer wires. I didn't intend to do anything to make it neat or clean. I just let it be, and that is my lifestyle. I won't mind all the wires mangled together right now. At least, my computer and all the connections are functioning well.

That is something i sure could do, but there is other things to do.

I'm with you there friend! I've untangled the wires in our home computer far too many times already that I got tired of it. I taped it but there came a time when we had to remove the tapes because we needed the monitor for a different computer. You could try buying cable ties so that the tape won't end up transferring the sticky part on your wires. The problem with cable ties though is that you have to cut it with pliers or very strong scissors if you want to break your wires free

Yuck! That doesn't sound like one bit of fun. I have wires everywhere, but no pets (and no kids) to get tangled up in them.

Good for u!! I have always wanted to do that, but i'm kinda lazy.. haha =D PLus, all the wires are hidden behin my huge computer desk, and it's gonna be a hassle to shift everything and tidying them.. hehe ^_^ The most i will do, is to use a broom, sweeping those wires, that i see, clear off the dust on them, and that's it.. lol =D Maybe one of these days when i feel like it, i will do the way u have done to the wires.. hehe

hi jugsjugs I am so lucky in regard to my computer nnd monitor wires as they are all behind this huge bureau. I am unlucky in that my computer and monitor have room atop this bureau but as its a solid bureau I have no knee hole space as I wou ld have with my desk,. my son is using my desk however. so I have to sit with my legs akimbo which is not too comfortable. but at least I do have my computer and my monitor which as made life so muc h happier for me. hugs take care do get some rest we all worry about you as you have such a large family to care for. hugs.

Yuck! Animal hair sure can make a mess. Fluff, fluff, fluff!! Taping them all together sounds like a smart idea. Now what does the animal fluff have to get into? I would wonder. I don't have any animals around right now. Birds outside and the dogs nextdoor but that is all.

Its really hard to manage wires. It seems no matter what we do it will still get entangled. What I usually do is tape them in the floor or wall or anywhere they can be fixed. Its pretty dangerous when the wires are not managed properly. Someone might tripped from it or your pets might gnawed the wires and get electrocuted in the process.

Try to use a cable tie in fixing the computer wire. Don't let any pet got into the wire. If then, your computer is in trouble. If you have a room or upstare, try to locate your computer there.
