It'll be a cold day in hell before I give up my cable box.

I'll need this LPT cable eventually, then you'll see. You'll all see.

Tip: Organize the cords into ziplock bags so they can't tangle. The freezer bags are thick enough to handle the prongs on power bricks.

You can also label and date the bags so if you decide to go against all the wisdom of the gods and do a purge of old cables.

My cable needs aren't so obscure yet that monoprice doesn't work. Of course, maybe monoprice is just that good, IDK.

I regularly go into my cable bin. It's a big ole Rubbermaid that is sort of organized but also not

Even old broken USB cables get kept for electronics projects

At this point I think that I'm probably safe to get rid of my old cat3 cable, but I'm keeping everything else.

My box of cables is with my ex. I hope to retrieve it one day.

Trim it down to one of each cable. You don't need a half-dozen patch cables. That weird wall-wart with the proprietary DIN plug for the laptop you no longer have, or the voltage- and milliamp-specific application you'll never need. The 4 SATA cables...etc.

Pare it down in order of likely need. You might need a couple USB cables and maybe a couple SATA cables, but you don't need 3 34-pin floppy drive ribbon cables.

I am Smaug, and I will slumber in my mountain atop unfathomable cable riches.
