Organizing Home Network Cables?

not-so Anonymous Anonymous Coward asks: "A few years ago, while finishing our basement, we wired each room of our house with two CAT-5 and two RG-6 cables. All of the cables were run to a central place in the basement, with the intent of building a "cabinet" to house and better organize the cables. Well, it is time. As you can see from the pictures, it is a jumbled morass of spaghetti. So I'd like to get ideas from the Slashdot crowd as to how to finally organize this mess, build the cabinet, etc., etc. No doubt there are many other readers in a similar situation, wanting ideas for organizing all the communications/network cables in their home."

Actually, 100base-t requires the same 2 pair that 10base-t require. Only needs the orange and green pairs (1-2 and 3-6). Blue and brown are free for use in POTS, but I'm not sure about the crosstalk once a 90vAC current is put down the wire for the ringer on a POTS phone versus a 100base-t connection... >.>
