heh, doing the same thing now hooking up dual monitor PC and Mac lap/desktops on back to back desks.
Get cable ties, wire loom, and cable anchors. You'll need these regardless of whatever solution you use.
Cable ties: secure bunches of cables together.
Wire loom: Holds the bunch of cables so it looks like one big cable
Cable anchors: Very nifty way of securing devices to places, like the bottom of your desk. You can attach cable ties to them, to say...hold your router under your desk. Or you can use them to secure the cable bunches to the bottom of your desk.Belkin has a nifty surge protector which hides the plugs >

If possible, put cables under carpet right next to baseboard. You'll need to lift the carpet up, put the cable in, and then tuck the carpet back in. To get the carpet firmly back in place, just step on the carpet and the little spikes until you hear a crunch sound.
Ikea has a few great cable management things, if an Ikea is accesible.
If you're creative and on a budget, this site has some great solutions too>
- Thanks. The ikea under desk thing looks cool. I'll be going there this weekend.mg33
- They have another one which is even more convenient but I can't find the image...fyoucher1
- It's like a burlap shelf that screws onto the bottom of your desk edge. You can literally just put everything in it, surge protectors and all.fyoucher1
- ...protectors, cables, everything. It's a wide but narrow casing. Only $10 each too.fyoucher1
- That Belken surge protector looks promising as well.
