Add Cable Management to ANY Surface

So I recently attached my PS3 to the back of my 32" tv so that it would be hidden. Since I live in the Air Force dorms I'm unable to physically modify the room, otherwise it would be pimped. But now all the wires from the PS3 and TV were just hanging there and it was going to bug me. Thankfully I just bought these Cable Tie plugs from Menards for $2 today to tie a wire harness on my truck up.

 

Tools and Hardware

Drill and bit (1/4")
GB Push Lock Base - Cable Tie Mounting Base (Fits 1/4" holes)

Zip Strips (cable ties)

 

Drill the hole

You need to find and mark the spots where you would like to add a mount. You should be careful to not go to fast to punch through and hit the electronics. I happened to know exactly where the electronics were so I was solid.

Snap the Mount in

Pretty simple. Just press the pin in so that it snaps and clicks.

Finish it up

Now you can take the wires and the zip strip and loop it through and cut the excess length.

Or you could just put the zip tie through the grill on the tv and use something to fish the other side through then put cables through it :P

The bundled cable looks to be kinking.
