I'm not but will start doing this, when you have 6+ usb plugged it gets confusing confused specially if you have any type of wire management

A Brother P-Touch. I just double print the label and wrap it around. It is not perfect but it does the job.

Labeling cables takes all of the mystery out of things!

[edit]

I was going through a box of computer stuff and the wife asked me about one unusual cable, and what it went to.

"Zip drive."

"Wow. We are really old," she sighed.

No labels. My PC setup currently has 2 USB cables. So far, I can remember which goes to the X45, and which goes to the XB360 controller.

I don't label any cables but any cables and power cords that came with something gets put back in the original box with the unit.

Well the new cables (Corsair Mouse, and Keyboard) come with their own fancy shaped ends. The other 2 I can figure out.
