I am sick of looking at my PC work area as it looks like the aftermath of a terrorist attack on a Dick Smith store. So if anyone could give me any suggestions to tidy it up please do (preferably by spending as little time and money as possible). Cheers in advance.

Here is my current set up:

The monitor and speakers get turned around when I am cooking in the kitchen as I find cooking extraordinarily boring without something to watch.

From the top to the bottom:

Guitar amp (with PC as my tabs/notation are on my PC and I can play along with youtube etc on the rare occasions I actually practice guitar)

Scanner/printer

Linux netbook

Old Pentium (needed a disk drive for ripping CDs)

Windows netbook with External HDD behind it

Another external HDD and the power cables etc.

The actual computers are on the bookshelf. It is only the monitor, speakers, mouse and keyboard that are on the counter (which is attached to the wall, it isn't a desk) . I was worried I might get the components wet when washing dishes but haven't yet. Like I said I like to be able to watch stuff while in the kitchen. I also like to be able to sit at the work area so then I turn the monitor and speakers around to the counter side.

I know I can tidy things up and make it a bit more effecient buy buying a monitor with inbuilt speakers but I want to know if there is any low cost/effort stuff I can do.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I reckon your anime models wake up at night and have battles leaving that as the aftermath. Could not possibly be the work of one man :)

The image on your monitor looks familar, can't think of where I have seen it though :)

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
