Bill,

I get kind of anal about it the other way.  I hate puting kinks in my
cables.  I like them to hang loose, and not make any unnatrual bends. 
Trouble is I get so many touching the floor, it turns into a mess
anyways.  

On my stereo/tv/vcr I don't really care at the moment.  All the rca
cables are really cheap, and need to be replaced.  

Thats a pretty big shelf you have there, 18 feet deep with 3 foot wheels
:-)
