I have this box chock FULL of serial cables, USB cables, video cables (VGA, DVI, D-PORT, HDMI), audio cables, power cords, Network cables, POE adapters, etc. I used to have friends that would take that stuff (I'd give it away free), but so many people have disappeared over the years. Not sure what to do with it anymore.

OK, maybe that will keep mine from sentience, they are not all in one location. :P

In all fairness, mine were separate boxes when I was in CA, but as a hoarder of electronics, I just don't have the room anymore. I have given so much away over the years and this box represents everything I saved, but don't use anymore. For example, the POE adapters were from when I worked at Parallax and had a home office. The IP Phone required POE. Many of the video cables are the extras that come with the ASUS monitors I buy. They give you one of EVERYTHING that the monitor supports. ::) I usually use D-PORT or HDMI.
Still, I may just inventory what I have. Put it up on this site for FREE and recycle the rest at work.

*Twilight Zone guy* Concider this, a world where you can put cables and wires into a box in an organized fashion, and months later they will be tangled beyond words. Be afraid, be VERY AFRAID!!

In all seriousness though, I have quite the box of wires. Should I just e-waste this stuff, or does anyone want all or some of it. This is just one box! I could inventory it and put it in the for sale forum...
