Any ideas for a cable management system
We have twist ties, velcro, tubing, etc. Nothing will work if you have or want to get a glass and metal type of office desk. Any ideas?

1. Velcro straps work well to keep cables in line...
note that an optical mouse will not work on a glass surface.

2. You could always get an integrated monitor & CPU
there are several out there now and if you can go wireless, the power cord is the only thing you would have to worry with.

Also, if the glass isn't tempered, you can have a hole drilled in the glass if necessary by any glass company.

Or, just simply go with a laptop. :)

3. I saw a pretty cool setup on DL.TV...
On their video-podcast a few weeks ago.

It was a modern desk with chrome legs. The user took pipe about the size of the legs and painted it silver (I suppose contact / shelving paper would work as well, and maybe you could get something with a pattern?)? I don't know exactly what he did there. Look at the video..
