This to my world....
BlazingBlue is my gaming computer, I use it only for gaming.  I have a second computer, named 5.1, that runs several programs so that BlazingBlue doesn't have to.  5.1 runs MSN messenger, Trillian (which runs AOL & Yahoo instant messenger, & IRC), TeamSpeak, xfire, & Winamp.   While I'm in game on BlazingBlue, 5.1 allows me to see who is in Teamspeak, surf the web, IM with friends, & check others gaming status.... as well as play any audio on my main entertainment system through a wireless transmiter, which also can transmit video.  With 5.1 running all the small programs that soke up precious cpu time, it enables BlazingBlue to provide unhindered gaming with incredible graphics.

Cable management is a hobby of mine.... It started simply enough, one day when I had a lot of extra time, I looked into making a snake out of the cables that run from all the devices in front of the computer to the back.  As I was looking for possible materials to contain the wires, I stumbled upon pipe cleaners.  With their exterior made of colored fibers of nylon that were suttle enough to be in plain sight & their malleable wire middle, they made a great control of the wires when wrapped around them in a spiral. Which led to the following....
Imagine what it would be like without it....
