Recommend me something for organizing cables

[HexiumVII]

I have an enormouse amount of cables. I have 2 KVMs and 8 surge strip filled. Not to mention my network cables and 3 computers. I've tried velcro, but i have to use a bunch for a bundle, and when i want to take out a cable, its still quite a tangle. What kind of gadgets do you guys use to organize your cables?

I just let them all lay on the floor behind the desk.

Seconded. They sell a big pack at Radio Shack in different sizes/colors. I use them for everything from computer wiring to home theater wiring, they're great 🙂

if you have a harbor freight store (or you can shop online) they're SUPER cheap, like $2 for 1000's cheap

Zip ties. First you gather together the similar cables, in a small bundle. Then you gather the small bundles together into a large bundle. And, you label.

zip/cable ties or IKEA do some nice trunking (meant for A/V cabling) which works pretty well
