Help finding the right AV unit

Hey, in the process of moving home and looking for a new rack/unit to fit all my AV gear. Ive been looking for some time now but can never find any that suits my needs!

Basically, I have a lot of gear that sits under my telly and I cant seem to find a unit that will fit everything. I like the look of the stands that have built in TV brackets as this will give me the freedom to my my TV if I choose too. Even if I couldnt find the right one, having my TV sitting on top of the unit would be fine as I find having my TV on the wall a bit of a pain now!

Having the TV on top of the unit brings problems too. I would prefer to have my only 875 on top of the unit to allow enough air to circulate. I would also like my centre speaker near the top of my unit as well. Along with this, I would need room for my PS3, PC (Antec Fusion case), sky/freeview box. Room for my 360 and Wii would be good but not essential.

I think the other issue that hinders me is my budget. I am prepared to spend a few hundred quid tops, not into the £1000's like some racks costs! Links to sites or AV units that people have experience with would be excellent.

Thanks

Re: Help finding the right AV unit

Your kit spec is pretty similar to mine (just got an 875). I was wondering if you managed to source anything?

Re: Help finding the right AV unit

Alright mate, ended up ordering the Black glass Cantilever 60" stand as discussed below:

Black glass Cantilever 60" stand

Wont be setting it up till next Friday when I move house. I think the Onkyo will be a tight squeeze but considering the distance from the front of the unit too the front feet, I think it will just fit and no more.

I will be leaving feedback in the above thread next weekend, so keep an eye out!
