Disc Mounts work just like the buttons that hold discs inside a typical case, except they’re magnetized. This way you can both display the artwork on the disc and have easy access to the disc itself.

It’s easy to see the downsides of this tool though. For one, you need to have a magnetic surface. Also, if you clean your room as often as I do – which is approximately zero times per lifetime – the discs are bound to gather dust because they’re exposed on the backside.

If you keep your place metal object-filled and dust-free, you can order Disc Mounts from Laboratory 424. $7.95(USD) gets you a dozen buttons.

Plus, this one won’t attack you. It also makes a great conversation piece. Each handpainted zombie has 6 holes in its head for holding on to your pencils and pens. Its eyes are magnets to keep your paperclips in one place too, and the removable tongue is a tray for small items and business cards.

The slit in the back of the neck will hold your letters and papers. Since you can’t battle a real zombie and claim his head for your desk, this will have to do for now. The zombie head pencil holder is available for $34.95(USD) over at the Neatoshop.

The model measures about 12″ high, 17″ long and 6″ wide. It’s shipped flat along with the necessary nuts and bolts, so if assembling things is your thing then its practical function may just be an added bonus for you.

You can order the *deep breath* DIY Wooden AT-AT Power Extension Socket Storage Box *whew* from Brando for $35 (USD).

Actually, turning your GameCube into a desktop caddy is a task best left to the pros, like Etsy seller GreenCüb, whose tagline is simply “Office Supplies Made from Recycled Video Game Systems”. At this point the only said office supply is their GameCube caddy, which offers ample storage for your paperclips, pushpins, pens and other desktop doo-dads.

Each organizer is made from an actual (broken) GameCube, and features a handy metal tray in place of the disc drive, a pull-out drawer where the controllers once plugged in, a magnetic paperclip caddy on the vent holes, and pen/pencil holes in place of the Power and Reset buttons. There’s even a little shelf on back for storing your iPhone or other compact gadget too.

Sure, I suppose you could try and do this yourself, but I’d suggest that you head on over to GreenCüb’s Etsy shop and just buy one ready-made. Prices range from $39 to $49 (USD), depending on the particular GameCube model you want.

The hub is called the Contort. Its integrated USB plug is on a flexible head made from TPE rubber. The hub has four ports on top and the middle section is expandable to handle USB cords. The device measures in at 34mm W x 142mm L x 24mm H and it can expand to 36mm H to hide more cables.

The Contort also has integrated cord anchors and those anchors can hold more than one cable if needed. Most of Quirky’s gear is pre-order and the Contort is no different. So far, 29 of the 1650 Quirky wants to build are spoken for at $29.99 each. If you want one, you can pre-order here.

And if you really want to, you can actually use the fork to eat. Just, you know, make sure you clean it before and after you use it – unless you want sauce on your cables, or you like the taste of rubber sheathing.

You can order the Fork and Cream Sauce cable organizer at Luftdesign’s online store for $13 (USD). Part of the proceeds will be donated to Save the Children.

Obviously these are all conceptual images, but since quirky is already accepting pre-sales (pre-sales are different from pre-orders in that a set number of pre-sales must be reached before the product is actually manufactured), I’m pretty sure the real Cable Caps will be as creepy as these mock ups. Still can’t figure out how they’re used? Here, let “printer man” (Really? Printer man? It took a group of people to come up with that?) show you how.

See? Despite their deranged looks, the Cable Caps are pretty easy to use: just thread the USB’s head through the slot in the middle of the band, stick it into the head, and then wrap the rest of the band around the rest of the cable. There are six designs in all, none of them decent.

As I said, pre-sales are now being accepted at quirky. Cable Caps are sold in sets of three for $8 (USD) per set. They’re pretty useful, just don’t stare at them.

Designed by Jason Amendolara for Fred & Friends, the »REW cord caddy looks like an old-school cassette tape (or more like a microcassette, IMHO), and lets you conceal all that unsightly extra wire inside.

No word yet on pricing or a release date yet, but if I were to make a bet, I’d check out Perpetual Kid to see when they start stocking ‘em, as they often carry products from Fred & Friends.

This wouldn’t be the first time that I’ve seen a cord wrap for headphone wires, but this little guy is definitely my favorite.

There’s just something about these ninja bunny rabbit dudes that makes me smile every time I look at them.

These pint-sized, cable holding guys come to us courtesy of Korea’s J’Story (also featured this morning for their wonderful, whimsical organizer tabs).

Unfortunately, these cable manager ninja bunnies are only available in Korea at this point. If you want to get your hands on one, you’ll have to head on over to Korean retailer DCX, and hope you can find a way get them shipped them overseas. In the mean time, you’ll just have to admire them from afar.

Created by Korea’s J’Story, these little removable tabs sit on the edge of your folders, documents or other papers, and help you keep organized.

The series includes a whimsical menagerie of characters including comical bears, rabbits, and little ninja dudes.

Aren’t they irresistable? As a matter of fact, I think they’re so cute I just might have to puke. The certainly beat those boring Post-It tabs that many of us have on our desks.

You can find the whole family over from Korea’s DCX for 1700 to 2500 Korean Won per pack (between $1.50 and $2.25 USD). Now you’ve just got to figure out a way to get them shipped here from the other side of the planet.
