Basically, I've got a $500 budget, and about 26 systems to deal with. I have ten wires that I'll be dealing with. The PC sits on top of the desktop, and cables are fed through a hole in the desk to a power strip on the ground. All the peripherals are also on the desk, and those wires are haphazardly spilling out behind the computer. > >I know my verbal description won't necessarily help too much when it comes to picking a solution, but I'd like to hear what products and solutions any of you use.

Since my sister is moving out of the house I am moving over to her room. Now I reckoned that I should just hang a big cable gutter (gutter, pipe, or however you call those things) right below my desk, and _hopefully_ all the network cables and cables for three PCs fit right in there. If they don't fit all, too bad then, but at least I got a bunch cables away from sight. Anyway, I hope this can help you a bit. Cheers, Jorn
