TV Stands and Ugly Cords

I was just checking out my pic of Adam on TV, and was daydreaming about how nice it would be to get a new TV stand.  We would need to get a corner TV stand.  I had thought that it would be nice to put the TV above the mantle, but wonder if I would get annoyed never being able to decorate that area the way I like. CSN stores has some wonderful TV stands.  I really like this one.

I especially like it because I could hide the wires behind the stand.  The stand we have now exposes all that mess.  I hate cords!!!  Does anyone have any tips for hiding those ugly cords?
