AV Rack Under £100

Hi all,

I'm looking for a rack at least 3 shelves to hold my xbox, amp, 360 etc.

I'd be most grateful if someone could point me in the direction of one.

Can be wood or glass

Thanks

Re: AV Rack Under £100

I'm after something similar - I came across one quite like that argos one, but with an extra shelf, and better spacing (the bottom looks perfect for a receiver), similar price too. I'm probably going to grab one of these...

If you're talking about the one I posted, I have actually ordered one today - I'll post up my thoughts when it has been delivered and assembled.

Re: AV Rack Under £100

I brought one of these on e-bay last week and am more than pleased with it, it's very similar to the Optimum stands but less than a 1/3rd of the price. Delivery was next day and it was a doddle to nail together.

Re: AV Rack Under £100

I will recomend this http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/store...roductId=11726 from Ikea, its perfect for my set up.

I have a 32inch LCD, DVD Recoreder, SkyHD, Amp + 5.1 Speakers, Xbox360, Xbox 360 games + some dvd's and i also have my PC housed in the center of the unit, the shelves move around so you decide how high or low you want them and for the money its bloody well built (well i did have to build it )

5 Stars from me for this unit.

Re: AV Rack Under £100

Have a look on argos for the melbourne entertainment unit, room for 6 boxes in the cupboard itself, and the tv will sit fine on top
