Saw this Bluelounge CableBox rip off at Kmart last night. Useful for hiding the clutter of cables. Was marked as $4, but scanned as $2.
I have no doubt that a true Ozbargainer like JV or tightarse would use a cardboard box with holes cut out ;)
Also provided a banana for scale in the pic!
umm medium I guess? I'm not a banana eater.
The reason I ask, the bluelounge boxes are 40cm long. Your box is a banana width long. So maybe only 20cm? Which isn't long enough to put a four port board in?
23cm to be exact.
Ok thx. A standard 4 port Powerboard is about 27cm. So it can't be used for that, unless it will squeeze in diagonally .
a bit smaller than the box
thats what…

about the…
Eat the damn banana!
Is that a ladyfinger ?
so it's a box with holes in it…
Yep, but doesn't look like a banana will fit in it :(
It's for cables not banana (plugs)
The banana was put in by the minions.
no more worries to get the cable tightened up.
yeah and it has a lid too! isn't that just amazing?
Velcro cable ties. Cheaper. Easier.
I purchased four of these … two as battery cases for my e-bike and the other two as risers under the base of the TV.
Am I the only one that has no clue what purpose this serves?
It seems to be a box you can put cables through, for some reason. So instead of Velcro or zip ties holding cables together, you use a massive box!?!
I must be missing something. Is there something clever inside the box, besides a half eaten banana?
If cables are extra long you can have them tangled up inside and potentially used in conjuction with zip ties to hide cables as well. Deal was more of a joke post however :P
Oh, so you can coil cables inside. Never thought of that.
Unfortunately due to it's size you can't fit a standard 4 port powerboard in it though :(. My Xiaomi powerboard is a tight squeeze diagonal though.
+1 for the nana.
I have no doubt that a true Ozbargainer like JV or tightarse would use a cardboard box with holes cut out ;)
Buy cable tidy unit. Remove from box. Poke holes in box. Now you have 2 * cable tidy units.
Is it weird that I'm more interested in the banana than the cable box?
Someone's a redditor :P
Imgur ;-)
It still kinda blows my mind that there is a separate group of people that just browses imgur haha.
They're the illegitimate bastard children of Reddit.
I use a cardboard box with holes in it behind my TV to hide the powerboard. I even went snazzy and used a white one - posh!
Is it safe tho?
If anything overheating, you just made it worse
I'd say so, the back side is mostly open to allow the cords to disappear down the back of the TV unit. It's a slim box too, so very obviously it looks posh, and most definitely doesn't doesn't look like cardboard. 😋. But no, it actually doesn't look that bad. Hides the godawful monster of the power block from catching your eye below the TVs frame and blends with the wall.
So the deal comes with a banana?
My banana seems to be bigger :)
Go banana !
Make way for grapefruit. GOOO GRAPEFRUIT!
9Gagers FTW!
My hamster will love it. Thanks.
I just use the free norton 360 and trendmicro boxes from last year for the cables.
how come there's none this year….
how much was the banana? I thought this was a deal on bananas
Banana looks out of warranty!
Anyone got any links for cable tie deals (or places to find them)? I've got a few electrical cables and network cables that I'd like to tidy up
I have one under my bed with a double adapter, for my lamp and quad usb charger. Its perfect because my quad charger has a huge blue LED light on it and was a distraction at night
Is this ok as a lunchbox
Upvoted for the banana.
Is $4 the original price or was it a mark down already?
Marked down price.
What were they charging normally? What section were they in? Also were there bigger sized ones?
No idea what the original price was as the tag didn't say. They were in the electronics section next to the dummy security cameras and there were no bigger ones.
How big is the banana ? Small, medium or large?
