    kopex

    The velcro cable ties are great nice and easy to get cables in and out. If not some of the best stuff imho is kopex. Basically 2 plastic half circles which fit in each other...can be pricey, but the preferred choice for data centres ;-)

  • Ikea sell a tray that screws to the underside of your desk to rest all the cables in... I can't remember what it's called, but if you can locate the "Jerker" desk (unfortunate name for a great desk) it's the recommended accompaniment.

    EDIT: This is the thing here
    There are 10 types of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don't

    In many cases it helps if you say where you are - someone with local knowledge might be able to give local specifics rather than general advice

    I got my cable management things from Poundstrecher in York Clifton Moor, about £2.50 for 3 meters of curly cable and comes with what can only be decribed as a big plastic zipper. They did two pcs with this just cut to size.
