After I plugged everything back in, I added some velcro straps to keep the bundles tight.

Thanks for reading.

I wish i could do that, however I got a glass top. So I can't mount anything. My main problem is that all the cords are either too long or too short. Bugs the hell out of me. Ill eventually get something so I can do this

3m 2-way tape might help with your glass desk

 If some of your cables are too short, you can look for extension cables at Monoprice.com or bluejeanscable.com .    They have about every type of cable you can think of, good quality, and low cost .  Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the idea! I'm going to try this for our computer table. But the different length wires really do bug me also.

Great idea very creative nice
Also should never ever place any form of electronics on top of your subwoofer especially anything containing a hard drive the huge magnet thats in subwoofers fries nearly any hard drive it comes in touch with
A good safety measure is at least a good 2 feet of distance between sub and whatever it is your using,in this case xbox,depending on size of sub though distance will vary.

Thanks for the info. I did not know that! Lucky for me, I moved the Xbox to the top of the desk shortly after creating the instructable.

Genius. That is the simplest most effective thing I've seen on here in awhile. Thank you!

I agree! Great Idea... Although mine looks worse than yours... I need to try this and see if I can get mine to lool as clean as yours...

Great idea with good results. Simple and cheap too. I'll have to try this out for the rats nets of cables crammed behind my desk.
