Hiding Wires behind stand

Hi, I have a 42" Toshiba LCD TV mounted on a stand that is made of glass and chrome. (It's one of those that make the TV look like it's floating, as it's mounted on two poles, rather than the TV standing on top...stop's the dog knocking it over )

As the stand is all see through, it means that you can see all the wires, trailing sockets etc. There are plugs and wires for SKY, Xbox 360, Mac, DVD, hifi etc.

This looks really ugly, and I wondered what your thoughts on the best way to hide the wires?

Some ideas I have had are:
A large wooden box with some holes drilled in and all the wires inside
A false wall cutting of the corner of the room behind the stand at an angle

Any other suggestions/ideas are welcome.

Cheers

Re: Hiding Wires behind stand

A good cost effective solution is to buy some of the grey foam pipe lagging from a DIY shop, This can be easily cut to size with sissors and easily allows the wires to be hidden as it has a slit running the length of it through which the cabled can be pushed. It looks better than it sounds.

Re: Hiding Wires behind stand

The wires down from the TV, and into the back of all the items are ok and tidy, but there is a mass of wires that are too long and trailing sockets, power supplies etc. that need to be hidden. (More bulky than lagging or ducting)

Thanks for the ideas so far.
