Mount a rack¹ or something to the back of your desk where it'll be out of sight. Buy some velcro cable ties² (zip ties are potentially a bad choice³). Route the cables to your liking and hold them in place with those cable ties.
It might be a good idea to search up 'cable management' and look at all the different options you can work with.⁴

³ Zip ties are a bad choice because if you need to undo the bundle you could accidentally cut into your cables and ruin your hardware

I typically do cleanups and not installs but anything along the lines of http://www.amazon.com/C2G-03746-3-5-Inch-Horizontal-Management/dp/B00006MJFL/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394637993&sr=8-1&keywords=horizontal+cable+management should work.
As far as recommendations, you really don't want to have to deal with excess cable. A couple of inches can be dealt with but once you go over half a foot it really starts to be a pain to fit into cable management systems. Take the time (even if you have to manually terminate a cable) to see how long your cable needs to be and then order pre-terminated cables at that length.
