Double sided foam mounting tape would be invisible.

You can get it anywhere.

Assuming it has to look good I always bend that from aluminum. All you need is a vise and some wood pieces to avoid marring (which SWMBO would not appreciate). Round the corners, polish it with 600 grit sandpaper and if you want to be extra good add a spritz of clear coat. Rounded corners are important to avoid blood if someone cleans underneath without looking. Also, do not use very thin aluminum because that can get under a fingernail.

A very posh solution would be a solid aluminum block like I mounted on the seat tube of my mountain bike (to the right of the shock absorber, but with the center squared). That would look almost mil-spec:

What I usually do with unattended "made in wherever" power bricks is to tie a chunk of porcelain tile between the power supply and the wood, cut or broken and filed to correct size. That can some day save the house if the engineers cut a corner, the thing goes *PHUT* and burns up.

My usual practice is to kick it around the floor. Better, position it with double-stick foam tape, then secure it with a ziptie or two. The ziptie binds it to a table leg, the foam tape keeps it from slipping out of its belt. If 'secure' isn't required, a mesh bag (like fruit comes in) can hold the object, and gets stapled to any suitable wood (or hang it from a hook).

Either way, the main issue is to keep it from being dragged around by the cord(s). Simply strapping the cord with zipties or velcro straps might be sufficient for a light brick.

Check out for more ideas.

How many of your kitchen drawers are a few inches shorter or narrower than the cabinet they're in?

As Joerg said and bend some aluminium strips to make a bracket.

search for "laptop power supply mounting bracket"

Theres one from myaquariumshops that has velcro straps that would make it adjustable.

Cheers

Tie wraps.

Stick them to the top-inside of the cabinet. I have them strapped to the bottom of my computer desks. Can't see 'em.

Thanks, Martin! ...Jim Thompson

Velcro?

Adhesive backed Velcro like this:

Perhaps something like an adhesive base for a strap? Mouser 561-N3590.
