Just to give you an idea. You can pick these up at any Radio Shack. I've seen some rigs where PVC was used to hide the cable. I have a Bello TV stand that incorporates cable management. My cables run through a hollow tube in the back that also supports the stand.

You could also pick up some velcro straps from Home Depot.

I'm a fan of the velcro straps. Pretty much get them anywhere...Staples, Home Depot, Walmart...where ever

My wires never did anything bad to me so I leave them alone, its a Reel symbiatic relationship.

The power wires however dont like the other ones, so they have seperatee status.

I paint my wires the same color as the wall, so they are camouflage.

I pretty much leave mine a big mess. I seem to be back there tweeking things all the time, and it's such a hassle to change things when everything is all tied up and organized.

i have a closet behind my tv so i put the mess in there and poke the video cable thru.
and use an IR bouncer to control everthing

You could unplug everything and start over, but it's only a temporary fix because when you're asleep they get all tangled up again. :(

Ain't that the truth. :mad:

They must talk to the computer cables too.

At many retail electronic stores they sale cable tray that attaches to the wall via screws or two sided tape. It clips together and can be ran along the baseboard or up the backside of your entertainment center.
