Looking for ideas for a new retro computer desk.

Recommended Posts

I have a 6' long IKEA table I'd like to push against a wall and use as my retro computer desk. I'd like to have my Amiga 500, C64, Atari 1200XL, Apple IIe, and ZX spectrum all lined up beside each other, each with its own monitor. The problem is cable organization. How do I deal with all of those wall warts and huge power supplies? Does anyone who has a similar setup have tips to share about power strips, cable management, etc?

I got a 10 outlet surge protector that has the plugs so wall warts sit out from the strip instead of over 3 other plugs, found mine at goodwill for a few bucks but its a staplels brand (who knows how much they eant)

 

For cable management I use Velcro cable ties, you can find them in bulk or on a roll for fairly cheap on amazon

Well, this is what it looks like now. My dream of fitting all my computers on there has gone away--after three it started to look crowded. Anybody know where I can find a cheap replacement Mac Plus compatible keyboard? All the ones on eBay are like 1/3 the price of a whole computer!
