Tailsgirl...I see you have a pic of my cable setup....all apart from the orange one.....all mine are indistinguishable black.....

I'd kill for an orange one.....

I'll mail you my extension cable, that's orange.

Here's mine.  As you can see from the photos, I've tried to tie up any extra lenghts of cable and keep them off the floor where possible.  It all starts under the desk:

The middle tower is an APC Back-Ups RT 2000VA.  All the computer equipment in my living room is plugged into it, and I actually have enough to push it over its load limit if I turn everything on.  A shot from behind the boxes:

I pulled the frontmost box out a bit for a better view.  You can see the tracks on the dust, which indicate I failed to vacuum from behind them.  I shall rectify the situation after making this post.  Moving to the top of the desk, some network equipment:

My local computer superstore sells even more colors of network cables.  The thing with the wire mesh cover is my firewall/router box.  It does not contain any moving parts, and gets rather warm.  Still, it's served me for more than three years now.  Next, some cables behind my main displays:

And lastly, some random chargers and stuff in the corner:

The computers down there are not in use right now, I've just put them there to be out of the way.  Both are in a good working condition though.  They also serve as a handy platform for the extension cord.

I have more cables than you, mr. topic poster, apparently.   Mine is a mesh of wires.   I have even more than normal I think because I run my video game consoles (Wii, PS3) and cable though my computer and/or monitor.

Those belkin surge protectors have some wall mounting holes on the back of them I would try mounting them just under the wood part of your desk then plug your stuff in and cable tie off the slack, you will still see the cables however they will in a nice bundle very tidy looking!

P.S. Just don't get the cable ties to tight!

I just found my PHONE I lost ages ago amongst my cables, it was a payphone too.

some of yall have fire hazardsssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! warning fix pronto!!!!!!

wow, fire hazard,hope you got 911 on speeddial

I'm actually gonna try what the person did in the Flickr image I linked. I already ordered a new Belkin 12 outlet surge protector to replace the crappy 6 outlet ones my mom brought home from work. I also tried to order the rack from IKEA, but they wanted $18 to ship a $10 wire rack! The hell with that, so I'll just pick one up from the store whenever I go to orange county again (or have my uncle grab one if he comes up here).

That would be Ms.

lol I noticed he said mr

I know and the wiring here is really old, [surge protector bit the dust because of this..]   the electricity folks even sent me a letter, AND phoned me, telling me I'm in danger.. .. and they asked me to contact them, to get THEM to fix it ..why not do it NOW, whilst we are ON the phone guys?....But nope.. I was told, I have to call them.. wtf?   so, I'd have to hang up, call that person back to ask them to fix it?.. ok too weird.

that just like computer parts from newegg.com

I've ordered all my parts from newegg and never had a problem with insane shipping. newegg

How about this item i had to buy just one of these small items, for $12 and had to pay $6 bucks just for standard shipping. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822998001

its the small and cheap items that I get annoyed with for shipping charges. Im fine with large items, newegg is great anyways

Well half the cost of the product for shipping isn't as bad and TWICE the cost of the product for shipping. But it's always like that on small products anyway.

At least all your cables are connected to stuff...
