This is a great tip for your wire (nest) mess: Go to a auto parts store and get some ignition wire looms that snap open and shut... Reorganise those wires with the looms to keep them all separate from one another and the wires that are way too long fold them up and use some twist ties or wire ties around them, but do not fold up the display screen cord for this may cause a inductive voltage problem and mess up the picture (this happens when guys with the hot rods get engines and the computer and wire harness out of junk yards and the wire harness is too long so they would roll up the wire harness and wire tie it together, then the engine would run really bad and they wouldn't know why) with all those wires running through it and all the different voltages cause it to act like an ignition coil and increase the voltage... Some of you probably wont know what I'm talking about here but for those of you who do know, "great"!!! Just thought I would add this comment because I see so many people with this mess behind their computer desk... Maybe this could be some of the mysteries for some of the problems with computers messing up??? Sorry if this is off topic, needed to be told...
