Yea, I agree. In fact, my original plan was to mount it under the desk and out of sight. However, I chose this route for a little easier access. I’m moving next week, and plan on taking this solution to the next level. I’ll be sure to post pics for you guys.

If you really want to make those wires look nice you can actually mount that pegboard up on the wall, between the desk and the wall. You can also try framing it, or use project boxes to coil up the wires into. Lots of ways to make that good idea even better.

Interesting. I’ll have to check the brand of the stuff that I have. I was also going to try some regular glass/window cleaner like windex to see if that will work any better. One of my friends did this a couple years ago and he had this same problem. Ill have to keep trying it out I guess!

Chris I’ve actually had great success with the Expo dry erase board cleaner and an abrasive towel. I’ve had stuff on there for weeks at a time and it still comes off with a little elbow grease.

I’ll have to dig up an article I saw outlining all the types of cleaners and what works best tomorrow.

Hey Brett, I just had a quick question for you. Do you have problems erasing stuff from your board? I just hung mine up finally after it sitting against the wall for a week and the first thing my roommate wrote was “POOPY” and not is seems to be burnt into the board. I used the dry erase marker spray stuff but it didn’t take it all off, so you can still see what it said. Any tips for keeping it clean?

Great ideas Brett. The post from Dave about the whiteboard is awesome and something I am going to implement when I get back to my apartment at school in a few weeks. I also like your idea for organizing the cables. Great post! (dugg it)

Great idea using the peg board to tidy up all the wires. This is a must do project for me now. I have spaghetti-wire syndrome and need to tidy this up. Thanks for the idea. Will recommend the idea to my readers.
