    looks like a nappy mess. also looks like to make any changes would require a complete rework ... hopefully they have good documentation/schematics because youd definitely need them

    Now that's what you call a cluster-fuck.
    The shop light hanging off the cables is a nice touch too.

    Nice bump.

    No gag. I've worked in IT and I was inside our towns ISP server building before... not much better looking than that actually. That looks like coaxial networking actually, ancient stuff.

    When you have a lot of wires... Even neatly arranged can look overwhelming. And setups that require frequent reconfiguring... If we took the time to make it look artistic there wouldn't be much time left for the work itself. That is a gag but like most humor an exaggeration of the truth. Permanent installations can be made neat though.

    The advice not to mess with wires you're not in charge of is sound advice!
