DIY AT-AT Cable Organizer

This beautiful plywood cable organizer is available at Copious.

The DIY AT-AT is constructed in likeness of the Star Wars AT-AT, It's a geeks solution to keeping cables and wires organized at home or in the office. It's made from high grade plywood and it comes flat-packed. Nuts and screws are all included. It can also be painted to the color of your choice!

(Thanks, Cutter!)

This is great. Not sure I would use it for wires and cables, though. I could actually use it in the kitchen to hold my Ginsu knife set.

Pretty, but insufficient for my number of cables. I would need an entire platoon of AT-ATs.

It’s a cool idea, but if they’re selling it as a kit, why are they calling it DIY? I’d think that suggests patterns for you to cut yourself and work up, not just some home assembly of pre-made parts.

  You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

    DIY= Do It Yourself? Is there another definition I’m not aware of? Please enlighten me.

It’s cool, but to me it just doesn’t look like an AT-AT without the humped back.

  It’s the station wagon version of an AT-AT.

  Agreed. It’s a neat idea, but as is it’s not an AT-AT. I wonder what they were thinking with the design – I’m sure they must know it doesn’t actually look like an AT-AT. Issues with structural integrity/ease of manufacture? Fear of copyright issues?

I bet it would look more like an AT-AT if they bent the legs properly. They should bend into forward-facing knees, like an elephant has.
