I saw your pics Gonk and if you had a back on the rack(like I do) it would be more of a problem. Also my cables are a little long but they had to be to connect them. The last interconnects I bought from Upscale Audio, I quized him as to their flexibility and he knew what I was talking about. Those cables are Sonic Blue silver covered copper and are very flexible and smooth(cover).If I had an open back e-center I may never have noticed this except when stretching them out.
Lena - you can feel my cables anytime you want(couldn't resist)
