Lightbulb Something to hold XBOX 360/DVD/Media PC

Hi all,

I'm having my Hitachi 42PD7200 mounted on the wall on Saturday.

Currently I have it on it's stand on an Ikea 'Magiker' cabinet like this:



Once it's on the wall, I'd like a nice (glass?) rack to place my DVD player/XBOX 360/5.1 amp/Sky + box on.

I've seen this one at Richer Sounds, & wondered what you experts thought about it!?



If anyone has any recommendations, I'd be really grateful.

Cheers

Neil.

Have a look at these!

Looks a decent price but would recommend having a look in-store. Found this E-Bay shop while checking links to the Richer Sounds stand. Looks like some very nice stuff at reasonable prices.

Question

That's a great link, thanks.

I've seen this one:



http://digitaldirectuk.com/products_..._id=4037&msg=2

It's about £155.00 delivered, what do you reckon?

Thanks again.

Looks very nice in gold. Did you take a liking to anything from the Ebay site?

That's not wide enough to take full size AV components - it's only 410mm wide.

Thanks.

I don't actually have any 'proper' A/C components though...

All I really want it to do is hold my XBOX 360/Pioneer 575 DVD player/Sky + box/Sony 5.1 decoder.

Having said that, I'm now thinking of not mounting the TV on the wall, & getting some kind of cabinet/stand to hold the TV (on it's swivel stand ), & the items listed above.

I like the look of that one abobe, I wonder if they make a cabinet type thingy!?

Thanks again.

I think you'll find your Pioneer 575 DVD is full size (430-440mm) so won't fit on the rack.

I wasn't referring to that rack specifically, just the look of it.

I'm gonna see if they make a TV rack.
