    Why wouldn't I just drill holes in a shallow wooden box? Oh wait, I already did. But thanks for the idea. I'll go paint it pink.

    Why isnt there a "UniCord" system that integrates power/signal into the same cord that is also standardized throughout the entire marketplace? If appliances adopted the standard they could be made to naturally integrate into one another giving specific devices priority depending on the signal/power that the now (networked) systems needed based on usage.
    Think of the computer mouse plugged into the keyboard plugged into the monitor plugged into the comp unit type thing though with a bit more sophistication.
    Provide power and connectivity via the same standard cable.

    This only shows about 1/3 of the mess. The rest is back behind three desks.

    Not worth posting now... I just organized most of the mess that was on the table by using double sided tapes on my usb hubs.

    Using a couple of power strips hidden behind my printer, and most of my cables are behind my 32"LCD... so it doesn't look too bad.

    Still, I really could use some of those cable managers...

    Here you have it folks your chance to see cable management at its best and I sell my services for $4.99 an hour! That's right, for $4.99 an hour I will come to your house and hose your wires up too!...

    This add ends in 25 seconds so act fast before its gone!

    These wires are for 2 computers + 1 Altec Lansing sub woofer and 4 surround sound speakers and at least 2 computers that are no longer a part of the network but I have not removed the wires. There may be other misc wires from cell phone from a year ago, a battery charger and keyboards that are hooked to nothing but pure air :( There are 3 daisy chained surge protectors as well, covered in skin dust.The 2 monitors and 2 printers are about 5 feet away so the additional wires run behind the white floor cabinet pictured; hidden and out of site. There are several books and clean printer paper on the white floor cabinet pictured as well, hidden. In addition its a glass tabled top so you can see the arrangement from above while you wait for Twitter to come back online. These all run off one plug, the other wall plug on the adjacent wall is for the air conditioner and router. I did use 3 cable ties to tidy up a bit; red ones to match the color of fire hazard.

    there's mine. There is a zip tie in there somewhere(mostly in the middle) and, for added effect, an old corded phone(with kinks in the line of course). =P I use the blue box as storage, a foot rest, and for hiding cables coming from the sub woofer and second surge protector you can't see.
