since the gf has been moaning about cables i thought id tot up how many are computer/gadgetry related.

20 mains connected plugs! a little bit disturbing tbh between 3 pcs.

thats not counting ethernet, usbs, display cables, 5.1 speaker cables...must be near 60-70

maybe she has reason too!

i bet some of you guys have many many more, especially with elaborate home cinema setups
 
I'm in my small office/computer room and I just checked under the desk and there are 17 plugs in 4 extensions.... :o

Edit: Found another one...forgot about the shredder :p
 
14

9 in the lounge:
Media PC
Router
CD player
Amp
Tuner
Turntable
Phono amp
Freesat HD box
TV

5 upstairs
PC
External HDD
Monitor
Printer
Speakers

My wife thinks even that's far too much :D
 
Desktop setup: 1xpsu 1xmonitor 1xprinter 1xPowerline Network
Tv setup: 1xTV 1xSky HD 1xPS3 1xSpeaker System 2xPowerline Network

Not much really compared.
 
I have 9 (nine) for 1 computer here at my desk...

1 - iMac
2 - NAS
3 - Time Capsule
4 - 1TB HD attached to Time Capsule
5 - 1.5TB HD attached to iMac
6 - BT Router
7 - USB hub
8 - Subwoofer
9 - ATV

Should really get a UPS for the above but first need to get it down to 7 or 8.

And on the other side of the room where I have my TV

1 - TV
2 - BD
3 - HD-DVD
4 - X-Box 360
5 - Amp
6 - CD player
7 - Satellite box
8 - VHS (not mine)
9 - BT infinity white box
10 - Home wireless phone/dock
