cables wires - spagetti junction

How are you guys securing cables and wires from your PC. soound system and marquee etc at the back of your cabinet. The lower part of my cab has no back in order for adequate ventilation, however I have cables dangling there and would like to know the best way to keep them in place. Do you guys use wire ties,cable tidys or good old fashoned thick tape?

wire looms, velcro wraps(ive seen these at the dollar store and Big Lots!). Even good old fashioned wire ties.

Wire ties and cable ties. (by cable ties I am referring to the type that you can screw into the wood to hold the wiring there).

You can get these cheap at most dollar stores.
NO MORE!!

I used black plastic cable P-Clamps with 1/2" screws to route my cable around.

i use hand staple gun to place small staples where i need them and then ziptie the wires/cables to the staples. keeps it clean looking and that is the way they did it originally also.

actually, in the end I just opted to use gaffer tape, its strong and holds the wires down well although it does look messy!
