While it might not be as effective as a rain gutter, a paper towel or toilet paper tube can get the job done for simple cable management behind your desk.All you have to do is cut the tube open lengthwise, and feed your cables through. You could do it without cutting, but this makes it a lot easier to work with. Once you're satisfied, just attach it to the back of your desk to filter all of your cables through one spot. I set mine on a windowsill behind the desk because I didn't have any duct tape at home, but that would work well assuming there's not too much weight or tension on the cables inside.Obviously, this isn't going to solve all of your cable management needs, but it's a free, halfway way to route them somewhere a little less visible. This trick doesn't have to be limited to just desks, either. As we've previously mentioned, these tubes also work greatfor holding your spare cables in storage without any tangles.
What to do if your keyboard on the screen. And if there are dozens of screens: At CES, the Russian design Art Lebedev, the company shows upcoming Optimus Aux Optimus popularis keyboard with a mini and a series of six unique keyboard for data input devices on the key to the home screen.

Make a MacBook Dock with Sugru and a Few Cables
Laptop docks generally don't come cheap—especially when you have a Mac. DIYer Johan Frick put together a simple docking solution with the necessary cables and a little bit of Sugru, saving a ton of money in the process.As you can see from the video above, the process is pretty simple. Just plug in all the cables you want to connect, surround them with a healthy amount of Sugru (carefully, so as not to get any on your MacBook), smooth it out, and let it dry. When you're done, you have a dock!Make a plug hub for your MacBook | Sugru
