Many Devices, Too Many Cables. What To Do?

I didn’t enter a picture of my space in the Web Worker Flickr pool yet. The absolute mess of cable behind my 23″ Apple Studio Display and MacBook Pro is too embarrassing to share with the world right now. Bluetooth headsets, Blackberry and an iPod all competing for precious outlet space. What’s worse, when it’s time to take the show on the road all those power adapters and chargers add more weight to my shoulder bag than my computer does. With that in mind, CallPod’s Chargepod is drool-worthy, even at a rather steep $49.95 (plus $9.95 per adapter tip after the first one).
The Chargepod seems to be a nice companion to LaCie’s Hub. At a price, of course: $79.99.
How do you deal with cable clutter without shelling out for these pricey space-age organizers?

Planning where cables go goes a long way to taming cable clutter. I have the cords for several of my Nokia chargers wrapped together to minimize the spaghetti on my desk. I try like hell to keep most of the cables behind the monitors/machines.

I love the idea of having the cables hidden under the desk! I’ll definitely have to get one of those. In the meantime, I’ve found D-Link’s 7-port USB 2 hub to be extremely handy.
