BAW’s Home Office
Image by bayareabaw
This home office of mine has been evolving for about six years, with a list of equipment that currently includes:
• 3 printers (HP LaserJet, HP portable inkjet & Dymo label)
• 2 LaCie backup drives (USB & Firewire)
• LightScribe CD/DVD Burner/Player
• 2 scanners (ScanSnap & Epson)
• tape deck, turntable & sound system (connected into the computer)
• EyeTV digital television tuner
• 2 Belkin 7-port USB hubs
• 20" Dell monitor
• MacBook
• Plantronics USB headset for dictation/Skype
• Panasonic wireless phone
• chargers for cell phone, Bluetooth headset & Palm
My challenge has been how to arrange so much essential gear in a small space without all of it getting in my way, both physically and aesthetically.
At last count there are 21 electrical connections, along with about 18 other kinds of cables (USB, Firewire, coaxial, speakers, phone & chargers) so I spent a lot of time figuring out how to hid all those cords. (Click on the other photos in my "Office Makeover" set to see how I hid the cables.)
