Cable Management Question

Hi all,

Thanks in advance for any responses.  I'm moving into a new appartment with some buddies of mine and we have a nice big tv to go in our common area.  I went digging through my closet and found an old 5.1 surround sound set up to go along with it.  I want to mount the two side speakers to the wall on either side of the couch.  The problem is that we aren't allowed to go drilling into the wall... though I'd love to.  Therefore, the wires running from the central device at the tv to the side speakers will have to run along the wall. Does anybody have any suggestions for a low profile, preferably cheap method of running the cables along the wall.  Worst case scenario the cable can just hang there but being the aesthetic snob that I am I'd prefer an alternative.  Any ideas?

Thanks!

Try Home depot and Lowes...there's lots of wire-hiding moldings available.

Home Depot sells Wiremold Cordmate.  Easy to use and easy to remove (with minimal damage to paint).

Use any of these items in conjuction with Command adhesive from 3M and there's basically no danger of damaging paint or anything else.  Also available at Home Depot, Loewes and other fine retailers near you.

Thanks for the advice everyone.  I move in this weekend.  I'm going to give these suggestions a shot.  I'll let you know how it goes.
