DIYer Embraces Wire Clutter
When it comes to those wires, if you can't beat 'em, display 'em!

Lifehacker writer Adam Dachis has a very interesting piece on DIYer Palle Olsen, who turned his PlayStation 3 and its many wires into wall art.

Olsen penciled out his design before marking it with mounting tape. Just in case the tape wasn’t enough, he added a little super glue to the setup. The end result has his PS3 mounted next to the TV with the four wires, making a nice conversation starter.

It probably wouldn’t work for a larger setup, although you could have a whole wall creating a maze effect. (It’s probably not a great idea if you have little ones with access to crayons and/or markers.)

Olsen’s creation is unique, but also a lot of work. We’re not sure how we feel about tape and super glue on the wall, either. He managed to make it look clean, though. What do you guys think?

Grant, I suppose so. I read the article as this was a solution for wire clutter and so my first thought was to get the PS3 (and consequently the wires) out of site. I personally would not my PS3 on the wall like that regardless of the wire situation so I’m sure my own bias comes into play but different strokes for different folks. Or so we say.

Dave, I think just because the owner thought it looked cool that way.

I don’t understand why the PS3 needs to be way up on the wall like that? Why not in the cabinet below the TV so nothing is visible?

I really like the creativity of this solution. It’s not for everyone, but I think it looks good. My gripe though is with the height of the L & R channels? What’s with that?
