Small form factor usually means dealing with an external power supply. I know about the benefits like taking a heat source out of the device, but I hate dealing with those bricks, especially when there are multiple externally powered devices and you don't have some object to let the power supplies slip behind.
Are there any neat solutions for cable management in those cases?
