MINI CableBox Organizer

Cables and cords are the entrails of electronics and, frankly, I'd rather not look at them.  What I'd rather do is stuff them inside a brightly colored box and forget they even exist.  Enter the MINI CableBox Organizer:

"Designed with cable outlets either side of the box, CableBox will fit almost every size power strip with extra space for the cords, adapters, etc.  Simply place your power strips or surge protector inside CableBox.  No need to unplug anything first.  Then stow away the surplus cable lengths, close the lid and done."

Sounds like heaven.

Available in pink, orange, blue, green, yellow, or white.  Extra bonus: Includes a UL listed 4-socket surge protector.  Nice.

MINI CableBox Organizer available from Delight: $29.50
