What does everyone use for cable management?

I'm talking about how you keep them coiled and seperated when you tear down. I use these because they stay attached to the cables and they are pretty decent to use until they get little fuzzies all over them. (they are velcro)

I try to have 20 or so extras on hand so I can just replace them as they get nasty. I used to use stiff wire I'd pull off of some 16-2 house wire and cut into about 8" sections. That works decent but you are always losing them. Cables are such a pain in the butt.

I don't use enough cables to worry about it. Let's see, I use 4 guitar cables and I use 3 mic cables, that's it! :D

That's awesome.

I've got two of the large Rubbermade totes full of cables. The "basic" set up for us is 4 mic cables for vocals, one mic cable for the kick drum, 4 speaker cables to the mains, 4 speaker cables for monitors, and about 20 patch cables. Then, there's the guitar cables and cables from the heads to the cabs.
