Back in 2021 I lived in this tiny apartment in Austin and had cables everywhere behind my desk. I honestly thought it was fine, like who cares if it's a mess as long as it works. Then one night I tripped over a power strip cord and knocked my whole PC tower off the desk. That $1200 mistake taught me real quick that cable management isn't just for looks. Now I use velcro straps and zip ties for everything, even my phone charger at night. Has anyone else had a hardware disaster because they got lazy with cord organization?
