How to get a clutter free iMac setup?

I have an older late 07 model aluminum iMac with only 3 USB ports in the rear. With that I find the USB wire situation a bit messy. I have a 4 port hub and the other 2 are both of my printers. On a side note, I am running the wireless keyboard and wireless mouse, so that's not a problem. I was curious as to how some of you run multiple USB devices and routing the wires. I use a 4 port USB hub for easy USB access, so I don't have to slide the iMac out and look behind it to plug in/out, which is a pain. I have my iPod dock connector, external HD and digital camera USB's running each way and sticking out like a sore thumb. I am a fan of neatness and was curious as to how some of you might have organized or routed your cables for easy access, yet still neat.
