Anyway, to start my project of taming some of the cables, I started with these four items:
1. QV Tools 12-Outlet Workbench Wall Mount Power Bar - You need to supply the screws, but it will attach to the back of a desk.
Note: I get paid commissions for purchases made through any links to Amazon products in this post.
2. iKea Signum Cable Management - This provided a basket that you can attach to the desk, which keeps cables from falling to the floor.
4. Cablox Cord & Cable Organizer - These things attached to the back of my desk and helped keep cables routed in the right direction.
I want to mention that I still have so many cables that it if you pull the desk out, it still looks a bit unorganized. The reason is that I attached the power bar near the bottom of the desk's back wall. This allows me to be able to reach under the backing (there is a few inches between the bottom of the wall and the floor) and unplug or plug something in without pulling my desk out from the wall. The main upside is that everything is organized and everything is off the floor.

It is strange, it took hours to get this done, but there is nothing that can be seen by people that come in the room. However, it still feels more organized when I am in the room, so it was a worthwhile use of my time.
Below are a few pics. As you can see, there are still a ton of cables, but now they are organized. Anyway, one New Year's resolution down and a ton more to get to.
