I have a box o' digital cables, a box o' analog cables, a box o' power cords, and a box o' power bricks.

The power cords and power bricks end up being useful once in a while.

As for the other boxes, I have never pulled anything but the most common cables, like standard USB or HDMI cables, out of there. You know, the ones that you can easily buy cheaply whenever you need them. I've been trying to convince myself to throw away those boxes for years.

    As soon as the garbage truck hauls them off, you'll suddenly need one of them and have to go out and buy one.

    It's like screwdrivers. No matter how many you have and how prepared you try to be, the next thing you need to open will have a screw you don't have the tool for opening. And you will realize that you're screwed.
