<blockquote><p> It can charge two iPod/iPhones simultaneously while also charging a Blackberry and a bluetooth headset for instance. In fact, using the two iPod connectors and two of your own iPod cords, you could even charge four iPod/iPhones at the same time.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s good to see they&#8217;ve thrown in Micro USB, too. That&#8217;s a nice bit of future-proofing given that most mobile phone makers (in Europe at least) will soon be using it universally. You can pick one up in white, black and pink for $US90&mdash;which isn&#8217;t exactly cheap&mdash;but the Refresh definitely looks like a pretty slick piece of kit.

Not surprisingly, elegant solutions were hard to come by. What we did have was complete chaos.<span id="more-343843"></span></p>

<img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2009/08/thumb160x_5fb51b65e73a4a9daf8d3f0e0349a98e.jpg" alt="" class="left" /><a href="http://gizmodo.com/people/sixty4/">sixty4</a>: Here you have it folks your chance to see cable management at its best and I sell my services for $US4.99 an hour! That&#8217;s right, for $US4.99 an hour I will come to your house and hose your wires up too!&#8230;</p>
<p>This add ends in 25 seconds so act fast before its gone!</p>
<p>These wires are for 2 computers + 1 Altec Lansing sub woofer and 4 surround sound speakers and at least 2 computers that are no longer a part of the network but I have not removed the wires. There may be other misc wires from cell phone from a year ago, a battery charger and keyboards that are hooked to nothing but pure air :( There are 3 daisy chained surge protectors as well, covered in skin dust.The 2 monitors and 2 printers are about 5 feet away so the additional wires run behind the white floor cabinet pictured; hidden and out of site. There are several books and clean printer paper on the white floor cabinet pictured as well, hidden. In addition its a glass tabled top so you can see the arrangement from above while you wait for Twitter to come back online. These all run off one plug, the other wall plug on the adjacent wall is for the air conditioner and router. I did use 3 cable ties to tidy up a bit; red ones to match the colour of fire hazard.<div class="clear-fix"></div><br />

And that&#8217;s just what&#8217;s hooked to the 4 computers.<br />
It&#8217;s hard to see just how many there are because of the brown desk top, but they&#8217;re stacked about 12&#8243; deep. Cheers!<div class="clear-fix"></div><br />

<p>If you have neatly organized your cables, feel free to show that in the comments too. Even if it&#8217;s just zip ties, <a href="http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2008/01/data_center_cabling_masterpieces-2/">well-organized cabling can be like a work of art</a>.</p>
<p><a rel="lytebox" href="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2009/07/rain-gutter-cable-management.jpg"><img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2009/07/504x_rain-gutter-cable-management.jpg" alt="" class="left" /></a>To be honest, this is my favourite solution on the list&mdash;so much so that I am planning on doing this one myself. Going to your local hardware store and picking up a rain gutter and accessories then installing it under your desk or along the wall is a cheap and effective DIY solution.

In this case, Wolverine Mighty Muggs toys decently handle small jobs.

<a rel="lytebox" href="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2009/07/cordotz.jpg"><img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2009/07/504x_cordotz.jpg" alt="" class="left" /></a>The Cordotz cable organising system goes beyond simple zip ties and coloured tape with candy-colored cordwraps, cordstraps and cordidentifiers.

<img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2009/07/swan_desk.jpg" alt="" class="left" />Many of the workstation desks coming out these days have built-in cord management systems. The Swan Desk concept pictured here takes that idea a step further by allowing you to weave your cables through the desk in an artistic way. [<a href="http://www.leschicstypes.ca/">Les Chics Types</a> via <a href="http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2008/03/swan_desk_turn_your_loose_cable_into_art-2/">Link</a>]<br />

[<a href="http://www.bluelounge.com/cablebox.php">Bluelounge</a> via <a href="http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2008/06/keep_fugly_surge_protectors_out_of_sight_and_mind_with_bluelounge_cablebox-2/">Link</a>]<br />
<img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2009/07/cable-safe.jpg" alt="" class="left" />The Cable-Safe is basically a shelving system that you can neatly hang cords and power strips from. Aesthetics aren&#8217;t addressed so much with this solution, but it will keep your cords off the floor. [<a href="http://cableorganizer.com/cable-safe/#image">CableOrganizer</a>]<br />
<a rel="lytebox" href="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2009/07/wiremate.jpg"><img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2009/07/504x_wiremate.jpg" alt="" class="left" /></a>Inside the WireMate, users can wrap and fasten cords in place. After the cover is attached, the unit can be mounted anywhere that&#8217;s convenient or out of sight. [<a href="http://cableorganizer.com/Wiremate/">CableOrganizer</a>]<br />
<img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2009/07/plugwall.jpg" alt="" class="left" />Why fight with power strips&mdash;all you need are more outlets. This extreme solution is only a concept, which is just as well considering that practicality and safety don&#8217;t seem to factor into the design.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img alt="" src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2008/03/swan-desk.jpg" class="left"/>Loose cables hanging around all bunched up and twisted around a workspace is absolutely infuriating. <a href="http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2008/01/data_center_cabling_masterpieces-2.html">Organising them</a>  neatly is definitely the way to go, and there are a number of <a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/peripherals/one-man-tied-sm-cable-tidy-246338.php">products</a> out there that can help you get the job done&mdash;but the Swan Desk can accomplish that feat with a little artistic flair. As you can see,the cable slots are organised in such a way that it becomes possible to weave your cords into a pattern.</p>

<span id="more-280233"></span>
<p>At this point, the table is just a concept piece from designer Louis Beliveau&mdash;but it definitely has a minimalist style that many would find appealing. And any design that can help reduce all the cable clutter is worth investigating.

Like a regular desk grommet, it&#8217;s a big hole that lets cables through. Unlike a regular desk grommet, it&#8217;s got notches on the side of different sizes to grasp and hold your cables so they don&#8217;t fall on the ground, making you breath in dust for a few seconds as you fish it back out. Again, design for now, but we&#8217;d love to see this thing be standard in every desk. [<a href="http://www.yankodesign.com/index.php/2008/01/31/the-cord-trap/">Yanko Design</a>]</p>
