The problem is that i haven't got the equipment and i don't know how to solder. So a solder free solution would be very nice :) |

Why put them in the back? Put the at the front and make a feature of them: There are a few more examples here |

Have you considered using modular wall plates? These are available at any box hardware store and give you the ability to build a plate that matches exactly the connections that you need. The available connectors are expanding, so you can get pretty much anything you need these days. You could actually take a blank plate and make your own with a drill/dremel tool/nippers, but this is quicker albeit more expensive. Here's one place that I grabbed off google that shows some examples of what I'm talking about. I have no affiliation with them, they were just the first hit that looked right. http://www.twacomm.com/catalog/dept_id_277.htm EDIT: Here's a better place from the looks of it. I've at least heard of them too: http://www.cablestogo.com/categories.asp?cat_id=2200 |
