interesting :) i find that cables that have to turn round and go back
in front of me get in the way more than long ones that disappear of
the sides/top/bottom and come back again i.e. lots of flat-lying
parallel cables rather than shorter ones that stick out the whole time.

that said, i would add that this is more for live work, where tweaking
is more important than rerouting, and the rack is only two rows high.

but if anyone wants to swap a fistful of short black ones for a
fistful of long red and blue ones, i'm up for it :)
