This simple-looking sombrero cord manager really beats those rubber and velcro ties I have all over my house, both in form and function. You anchor this onto any surface with a screw, wrap your wire around it and feed the outgoing cord into one of the notches to keep it in place. You can choose to keep it under and behind furniture or make it part of your geeky decor, since it comes in five different colors (shown after the jump). They stack together (with a longer screw).

From Mockett.com for $4 each (discounts for multiple purchases).
