Cabient to fit Onkyo NR905

So I've bought my lovely new Onkyo 905, nearly broken my back acrrying the 30kg box home and now need something to put it in.

I know they get quite hot and so want a rack with decent spacing and there's the problem. It's 19cm high so was thinking I need 25cm min between shelves but can't find anything that fits the bill. Any ideas?

I also need to house an xbox 360, dvd player and centre speaker (PMC TB2M-C+ which is 20cm tall).

ANy suggestions would be appreciated.

Oh, and a TV ontop. But only a 32" will be upgraded to 37" at some point when funds allow.

Noone got any ideas?

It's very frustrating!

Really don't want anything wider than about 105cm. Which should give enough space to stack the DVD player and xbox next to the obkyo but they I really need to make sure there's space above it to ensure cooling and any stands with a bottom shelf of 25cm or higher won't accomodate my centre speaker.

Why is it AV stands don't seem to be designed to actually house AV equipment?

Which is before you start worrying about the 25kg max loads which when my amp weighs 25kg is a bit worrying.

Not to worry, I think I've cracked it.

SOUNDSTYLE STATUS ST310, 240mm clearance between shelves, can take the weight and just over £300 delivered.

Not an ideal price but I can't find anything else that comes close to suiting.
