How in the world do you deal with cords?

Like many of you, I have a decent amount of systems. Unfortunately, this means I always have a mess of cords. I don't enjoy unplugging and replugging stuff to move it around (not to mention it's hard on the ports) so I usually leave everything attached. But I pretty much always have a mess of cords, just from controllers alone.

This is probably unavoidable. I was thinking of getting some commercial shelving like I've seen some people have so at least every console can have room on it's own shelf, rather than being squeezed together on a desk like I have them now.
