You can buy one package with many colors in it. As you disconnect each cable on your computer, cut one color tape and put it on the cable and another small piece of the matching color right next to the socket it goes in on the back of the computer. Do that with a different color for each cable. If you run out of colors, use two different colors on one cable. Then when you put it back together, it will be easy to match them up. Also, I always carry my computer in my personal vehicle to protect it rather than in a moving van.

Great advice. The colored tape is ingenious.

Only thing I'd add, meglaulanmar, is to enlist some help. That's a lot of work for just one person. There's gotta be a relative or friend you can call in a favor on? A co-worker? A YorkieTalker?
