Went to IKEA last Saturday and noticed a real problem with their cable management bins

They only have one tiny hole in the back and if you have more than two power strips or a big UPS, your cables will puff out the sides and the lid won't close, so has anyone found a cheap hack to fix that or should I just buy a different brand?

Cut a few small slits in the side of the bin with a utility knife so cables can snake out without puffing the lid open. I've done this on two different IKEA bins and it works fine, just watch your fingers. Your mileage may vary if you have really thick cables though.
