Flickr Finds: Cord Control Solution

2008-2-1bluepicsdesk.jpgWhen we first saw this desk we were impressed by its simple and clean look. (The only change we'd make would be adding a wireless keyboard and mouse.) But we wondered, where's all the gear? Click through to see how it's hidden.

2008-2-1blupicsunder.jpgThe table allows for space to install the cables and cords out of sight, allowing the cable clutter to live there and leaving his workspace clear. It reminds of this pegboard hack, which could allow you to attach the wires without compromising the table itself. Although, we prefer the flexibility of blupic's version, he's even got a Mac Mini hiding up there under the table.

Just did a quick google search - Belkin makes the ipod dock and usb/desk grommets... Good idea for sure. Dug through his other photos - he says the lamps are from here: https://www.solux.net/cgi-bin/tlistore/techy.html

Actually I purchased two of the new Apple anodized aluminum keyboards recently, one wireless and one not (for myself, I prefer having the additional numeric keys on the extended version of the keyboard. This keyboard, unfortunately, does not have a wireless option).

I'm also in process of replacing the current lamps (with their rather large bases) with two Tolomeo Micro Table Lamps. By attaching the Tolomeo's to the work table using inset-pivets I will have minimized the footprint of my lighting sources to a mere inch.
