Top left pic reminds me of what my crap looked like before a
neighbor suggested a simple framed cloth panel to hide all the
wires. She chose a starkly different color than that of either
the wall or equipment. I felt more comfortable with a color
quite close to the wall paint.
The idea is to erect a simple cloth covered frame strategically
slit (reinforced with duct tape behind) to allow wires to run
behind it. It can be floor to ceiling or merely floor to top of
the tallest component - I chose ceiling. You'd have to do a cut
out, or reverse L, for that window or perhaps follow the upper
contour of the equipment.
I've moved since then and have better wire channeling now, but
I'd do it again - if needed - and would be more bold the next
time with color choices. Also, Radio Shack and others sell
flexible pre-slit black tubing for channeling wires more neatly
along the floor or behind a molding.
Although I did not need it at that time, the cloth masking can
also serve as a way of hiding wiring to a wall mounted TV, if
digging into the sheetrock (or cinder block) is a problem.
To conserve space, when it's at a premium, large collections of
DVDs and CDs can be removed form their individual containers and
filed in containers such as this,

and the printed material preserved elsewhere, if keeping it is
important to you.
