A Solution to Wire Clutter
If it’s a confusing, cluttered eyesore that can be tripped over or yanked on, then computers wired to their peripherals are for you. Here are some images that visually depict the “old style” of connecting:
The Video Desk: Luckily, nobody can see what happens in front of the desk (except the people coming into the room)
The Danger Corner: Where clutter starts and safety ends.
The Wired Jungle: “I know there’s a computer behind the wires somewhere. Maybe even three!”
Now, for those who have experienced this kind of “disaster waiting to happen”, IOGEAR has created the first USB-IF Certified Wireless USB solution, the IOGEAR Wireless USB Hub & Adapter kit. Its design and applications are apparent as it offers “cable freedom” to its users. With a super-fast transfer rate, range of up to 30 feet, and the ability to service up to three separate users at the flip of the switch, it’s easy to understand how the Wireless USB Hub is perfect for keeping what’s going on behind your computer as organized and safe as possible. Here is a view:
These images may be humorous (and possibly look familiar) but they really are a serious concern. It goes beyond the clutter and beyond the eyesore. Having too many wires can not only increase the chance that a peripheral or computer can be pulled off a desk, it can also be a true fire-hazard. In the 21st century, your best bet is to “go wireless” with the Wireless USB Hub by IOGEAR.

This would not work too well if you want to use two monitors.

I don’t know what you specifically mean, but if you need to connect two monitors, you can use the upcoming Wireless USB to VGA kit and buy an additional VGA adapter for the second monitor.

Two words: Twist ties. Just save them from loaves of bread and then use them to group cables.

I actually was one of the morons who had an electrical fire because of clutter. The back of my desk looked like picture number 2. Not a good thing.
