If there is already a thread dedicated on this, I apologize.

I have a new 20 inch iMac and have it on a fairly minimalist desk (just a desktop and 2 legs and support) so the wires from my iMac can look quite unsightly. I have 3 usb devices, 1 firewire, the iMac power cord, and speaker wires attached.

Any tips, products I should know about? I used to have a tube that I stuff the wires in, but a 3 ft usb cord would go in one side and not be long enough to come out the other end.

Run all the wires through the hole on the stand that the power cable goes through. Looks neat on my set up (2 external HDD's, USB Hub, Firewire video camera, USB cable for UPS, EyeTV 250 Plus and Turbo.264)
