Cable Arrangement Suggestions

How do you arrange all your interconnects, power chords, and cables to avoid/minimize interferences? Cheap suggestions especially appreciated. I have a home theater set up with cables for AV receiver, DVD/CD, RPT, two powered Def Tech towers, extension chord (for the far left speaker and cable tv amplifier), a cable tv splitter w/cables to the VCR and tv, VCR, cassette, LD, minidisc, and will be adding a DAC shortly. I have Radio Shack RF blockers on all my power chords. Other suggestions you've found useful?

As a rule I try to keep all speaker cables away from each other and from all the other cabling.

Also, as Liguy says, I try to keep power cables away from the rest. If other cables must come close, I strictly avoid parallel runs but try to make them cross the powercables at right angles only.

Interconnects seem to be less problematic. If I have to use long runs, I tend to keep them close together, however strictly away from speaker- or power cables. Also, if I have synthetic rugs ( real wool does not seem to matter)
I try to keep all cables off the floor.
