    The cables had become a rats-nest: I added the KVM, which added ten cables to the system, then a video capture box with another five and it was getting rather untidy. Then I changed the video card and ... oh dear. I lived with it for long enough, but today was the day: reorg the cables, with new colour coded labels at each end so I knew where it had to go back. Here's some of the cables as I relabeled them - nearly all data, a couple of power cables only: And here's the result:

        Congrats on the reorg. But there's a problem: Your screens aren't nearly big enough! :-D

        The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
