Go to your local hardware or electrical supply store.  In the wiring department
you should find some nylon cable ties in assorted sizes.  Form the cables up in
order behind your computer, and put one of the ties between every pair of
plugs,  and about every 6 or 8 inches along the length of the combined cables
leaving the computer.  Fan them out to their various destinations the same
way, making loops along the body of combined cables with the excess length
of the individual cable.  They should also have some square nylon pads with an
adhesive back and a slot for the ties.  Use these to secure the completed
combined cable to the back of your desk or other surface.
