[RWP] Need advice about hardware configurations and Reaper?

[Jim Snowbarger]

Jes,
Cabel organizers are just cheap plastic things that can be used to  keep 
cables bound together, in cases where you want to keep associated cables 
collected together.  Nothings special about them.  They take all manner of 
differnt forms, from simple retainer clips, to trays.
There is nothing electrical about them.
You can usually get them at WallMart or staples, or any of those ordinary 
places.
Maybe you want to cip a set of assocaited cables together, and have  them 
run along a desk edge, instead of just piled on the floor.
