That's a pretty smart move, imo. Keeping these tubs or bins tidied up (with all the cables I figure) helps a lot when you want to find things easier.

This is, indeed, what I did: I divided the cables in different places, so I can find these easier. I think that at some point I should also do the same for my computers.

Currently, I have to say that I'm good with the setup I got: a Pi400 I use for BBSing and eventually retrogaming (I gotta figure out how to set it up with SSH) and my Ryzen 7 PC for stuff like work, music and gaming.

The fact that I can easily switch the SD cards on my Pi400 makes it very versatile, so I can go from Raspberry Pi OS to Retropie to Pimiga anytime!
