You know those cutouts on the top of many desks that are used to manage cables? Belkin has come up with an ingenious series of accessories that help you make better use of this space.

First off, there’s the In-Desk USB Hub and Front-Access In-Desk USB Hub which provide you with four additional USB ports. Then, there’s the In-Desk Dock for iPod, which lets you dock your USB iPod directly into your desktop. The dock hooks up to your computer to charge and sync your iPod, and also provides stereo output so you can hook up speakers if you’d like.

All three of the devices list for just under $40 bucks and should be available for purchase in the near future. And if your desk doesn’t have a hole in the top, you can simply pick up a 3-inch hole saw from any hardware store and cut one for yourself.
