Besides a bulky ass entertainment center?

Between the cable box, DVD player, and sound my shit looks hella messy

Im just tryin to get a small like cabinet-like thing instead of buying a bulky ass entertainment center

What im wondering is, is there anything like they use on the floor in offices for smaller setups

Like the 'tunnel' looking thing that they run power cords through?

Also, if I do that (put the sound cables, hdmi, cable) all in some type of enclosed thing, will it affect their signals at all?



Here we go...apparently theyre called 'cord covers'

Can I put my audio, video, and cable all in the same cord cover without any kind of interference?

If this tv was going in a house I would be buying I would run the cables through the walls to give it that "clean" look. If I was renting a place I would just leave the cables hang or put the tv on a regular stand. If you do let the cables hang down the front of the wall you should only be using two cables (power & HDMI). If you are not running HDMI I suggust buying a AVR with HDMI hook ups to reduce your cable clutter...

Just go over to Home Depot or Orchard Supply and buy some plastic wire concealers.

Wrap some rubber bands around the excess wire. Just be careful, wrapping electrical wiring can lead to overheating of cables. I've never had that problem but people are always saying it as a precaution.

My suggestion, which is probably costly, upgrade you equipment switch to HDMI since that bring the video and audio through one cable.
