eh, mine are on the floor run close to the base boards. It's not a long run to the av stand.

However, my problem was that I bought a nice Salamander Twin, hoping that I could hide all the cables inside. NOPE! Using a Pio 45TX and STIFF cables like blue jeans, I can't even put the back on. Now all the cables are hanging in the back. It looks like a rat's nest, despite my attempt at bundling the cables by type: power, video, audio. It looks good from the front though...
