Cable Management

As I collect more and more equipment, gadgets and devices, I my desktop becomes cluttered with wires. I am a very neat and organized person (or at least strive to be) and my desk never seems clean to me (when in reality I can’t clean any further). My frustration with cables and wires has been growing for quite some time, but now it’s getting almost ridiculous. Part of the problem being I have a Powerbook and trying to use it as a desktop, because I now have four external hard drives in addition to the mouse usb, power adapter, and speaker plug all coming out the sides of my Mac. But I’m trying to come up with some solution for the time being to make everything a little more “pretty” to look at. Anyone have an success making their tangled wires look “pretty”?
