Pegged

I moved my main server from the old house to the apartment this weekend, which immediately presented the problem of too many wires and not enough legroom under the desk. Taking a cue from lifehacker.com, I’m jumping on the pegboard organizer bandwagon. The picture to the right is the underside of the desk, with a section of pegboard attached via hanger bolts and wing nuts. Right now, only a couple of power strips and a router are zip-tied to it, but I plan to add the Vonage router, the wireless router, various power bricks, and a few loops for cable runs. Pro tip: affix the pegboard with temporary screws while you add the hanger bolts, or else the bolts might be just crooked enough to drive you nuts, so to speak.
