Ok the thread where DocShay posted his specs got me thinking, his setup was pretty neat (not just the specs but the whole setup), which got me thinking, who has the worst (messiest cable spaghetti monster, that sorta thing, not merely shit equipment) setup, network, or rig here.

This thread is for home setups mind you, not a network operations center from hell, although if i took a walkthrough set of photos of mine it probably resembles a nigerian datacenter.

    This kind of threads are always fun :D

    Mine is not too bad, until you look behind the desk... cables cables cables everywhere...

    Main system, note the mess of cables under the desk:

    Next part is the networks desk:

    From left to right is my file server, my Pfsense router and some random switches and a crappy netgear accespoint. Cleaner than usual, removed alot of extra cables yesterday.

    Cable mess behind the desks, mostly cat5/6 cables:

    Some of the crap that i removed earlier:

    Took me ages to sort out all the extra network cables i never used, think it was somewhere around 23 of them behind the desk before. Should be alot less now.

    Are you selling that Presario?

    Mine worked perfectly for 10 years before sparking. I miss it.

    Will be put to use as soon as i get some more parts.
    Only bad thing about them is lthat they cant hold more than two harddrives, but nothing alittle moding cant fix.
    Cooling is easy to get good too, alot better than most other name brand computers.

    Got 7 old PCs in my closet running a server farm, laptop with broken screen to my 24" 1080i monitor and a shitty budget BUDGET gaming PC downstairs.
