Default what to get?

Got two home his 'n her computer stations set up on an 8' folding table.
Printer, fax, and scanner shared and between the two. Also telephone. There
is an unsightly mish-mash of cable snarls that has accumulated.

I want to straighten this out, organize it, and make it look more
presentable.

Need recommendations as to products/sources of some kind of
conduit/runs/containers/whatever we can get to sort of hide the cables and
help organize them better.

One of the handier ones is sort of a corrugated plastic tube that is
split to add/remove cables. Various sizes, check Radio Shack or
simlar.

PC's under the table. A two inch hole in the center of the table to run the
scanner, phone, fax, etc. cords through. Then a split loom to run the cables
away from the table to wherever they need to go.

Wireless mice and keyboards are cheap these days and actually do a good job!

Get a nice piece of 1/2" plywood , fit it to the underside of the table.
Then install it under the table 6" from the wall. Putt all the cables
behind it and cut access holes to come out to the towers. The cables can't
be organized. Believe me.

Had to laugh when I read Steve's response. I've tried it to, and, until
now, those cable runs refuse to be tamed.
