One of the biggest concerns with computer speaker stands is the clutter of wires. One option is to bundle the wires and use wire ties, or even a garbage bag tie, to keep them from getting tangled. Another option is to use two additional deck screws, one on the top and one on the bottom, of one of the legs of the rear computer stands. Wind the wires around the two deck screws so that they don't tangle. The deck screw option is the more flexible because it makes it easier to move the speaker stands.
