If you are really desperate to hide all the power cables running around your living room or office the Powerblock can hide them. The geodesic looking block has a normal power strip behind it and a big shield that looks like it came from an Eskimo village hides the mess.

My wife would certainly like to get all the cables around our house hidden away, but this Powerblock is uglier than the cables themselves if you ask me.

The thing is made from steel, measures 30x40x11cm and is made in France, which possibly explains why it is so ugly. To make things even worse, it costs about $165 dollars.
