Some of you who know me well (especially those that have lived with me) know that I'm kind of anal-retentive about wires. I hate them. Stray wires drive me nuts. If you look at photos of my desk at home or work, you'll see that they always have cables tucked away in cable runners on the underside of the desk, and I use wireless keyboards and mice.
So even though I got a really nice home theater unit that does a reasonable neat job of keeping wires out of sight, the mess that existed behind my subwoofer (where the power strip was) constantly bothered me, since it was visible from some angles.
I have found the solution, though. I bought a blueLounge Design CableBox. Yeah, I know, it's pretty much just a plastic box with some slots cut in the side... Ok fine, it's just a box with slots cut in the side. But it helps, damnit!
