Having a houseful of gadgets isn?t all shiny, happy. It?s
more like spaghetti. It?s a pile of wires. You?ve got power
cords, USB cables, A/V cables, and other A/V cables. It?s a
big, old, nasty mess. We thought of a way to fix it, and on
this edition of Geek Brief, we show you how to turn your
gadget chaos into gadget nirvana.

I built a gadget charging station out of an inexpensive
shoe organizer. It worked fine, but we wanted something
that looks better in the house. We found the Cava Wine Bar
at Cost Plus World Market for $200. Not only did it have
slots for more gadgets, it matched the other furniture we
use on the set.
Rather than drilling holes in the back of each cubby like I
did on version one, I drilled holes in the bottom of each
level so they are inconspicuous. The slots are open at the
back, so I was able to get by with just a few holes. If I
was starting from scratch, I would have drilled the holes
in the back corners rather than in the middle to make the
charging wires even more hidden.
