Webmaster horror

I was just a simple webmaster with no network or systems background when I inherited a webserver ensconced is a rats nest like the first picture here.

Not a single cable was labeled and I dreaded having to try to access the box through all that clutter.

Invariably a wrong nudge could dislocate one or two cables, and it would take hours for some network guy to figure out what was wrong.
