Best Way To Manage Growing Console Clutter?

An anonymous reader writes "Being the owner of several actively-used consoles, I have found myself in a perpetual state of tangled cords and controller 'land mines' when it comes to my living room. With each console supporting four controllers, and a couple of games having their own unique peripherals, this is becoming more and more of a problem. It's not so much that there isn't a place for all of this. as it is that there isn't a place that's visually pleasing, big enough to survive the growing collection, easy to use, and most importantly, cheap. I find myself having to untangle cords or digging through a box/drawer. no matter what solution I try. What have Slashdot readers resorted to when it comes to keeping all of this in check?"

    There's always SOMEONE...

    Slashdot: Which portable gaming system is the best?
    Asshole: Get a life, fatass, and stop playing games. Oh yeah, and I have a girlfriend!

    Slashdot: New Dreamcast games available!
    Asshole: Well, you shouldn't be playing videobasketball anyway! Play the real one instead, fatass! Did I mention that I have a girlfriend?

    Slashdot: I have a simple question, one which, surprisingly does NOT require innane social commentary... how can I make the growing amount of wires cluttering up my console slightly neater?
    Asshole: You're so fat and dumb. You've probably never even SEEN a real football before. And I'm so smart and intelligent, I'm gonna mention that I have a girlfriend, and then I'll say how I don't do lame videogame sports but I'd rather play them for REAL! Oh, and instead of playing hockey, I'm going to mention in a reply to one of my own posts that instead of following my own advice/criticisms and going out and playing a sport instead of doing a passive activity, I'm going to take my girlfriend to SEE a hockey game! The calories are just burning away! Yay!
