OT: Is there a way to tidy up your cables by tying them together and routing them under your desk? You could use Velcro as a cheap and simple way to do this. For your gear it would be better to just let the cables plugged in. You could use a safety switch to power on/of the outlets you have your gear connected to. Just never use this switch to switch on all your gear; this should be done with the power switches of the gear.
