Cablebox Mini is literally a big bucket for your wire clutter

Cablebox Mini is literally a big bucket for your wire clutter

You could muck around with twist ties or clips or what-have-you, or you could keep it simple and easy: go with a bucket. That's essential what Bluelounge's CableBox Mini is, but at least it's a colorful, attractive bucket.

The CableBox Mini doesn't do much to differentiate itself from the original CableBox save for its smaller body, which is certainly a welcome change. It still has room for a powerstrip (though you may want to measure yours to make sure it's less than nine inches long so it'll fit), and it's got a top that'll double as a little counter space while concealing what's inside the CableBox Mini.

The Mini has something else in common with the old CableBox, too: its price didn't shrink, which means it rolls in at $30. $30 isn't outrageous, but it's always felt like $5 to $10 too high for us to consider this an instant purchase.
