Step-By-Step
Don't look now, but it's a jungle back there. We're talking about the back of your PC, where the cables that tie together the parts, pieces, and peripherals of your computer tend to end up in a messy jumble of interlacing wires. It's unsightly, inconvenient, and even dangerous--if you have small children or pets. And cable overload has another drawback, too: The more wires you add, the harder it is to trace connections when changing hardware or troubleshooting problems.
Luckily, you don't have to be Martha Stewart to make this mess more presentable. Various products are designed to tame cable clutter, ranging in price from a few bucks to $100. Pick and choose what's right for your installation--but any of these products can help make your PC setup a bit more convenient to work with and a lot more pleasant to look at.
