I have a baby and she'll be getting mobile pretty soon so I need to hide my toys!
My gear is in an IKEA Oppli bench under the TV. The kit is all open to little fingers and it's on wheels on a wooden floor so it's got to go!
I'm looking at putting the TV on an empty heavy wooden trunk. Behind that using a cupboard around 60cm wide, 60cm deep and 150cm tall (dimensions could vary). Making some cable holes in the back/base for SCART leads and power and using an IR repeater to control the kit inside so I can have solid doors
I sourced several wooden trunks for around £200. A weekend searching the furniture stores and web sites has turned up very little for the equipment storage.
Everything I've seen that's not designed for AV is too shallow and the AV stuff in the high street is too small for all my gear.
I have a 32" Sony TV (75Kg)
Tivo (big box),
Yamaha DSP-A5 Amp (big 8Kg),
Toshiba 330 DVD player (full width but thin and short),
Playstation 2 (with RF wireless controllers)
JVC VCR (normal component),
Telewest Pace cable STB (slightly smaller than normal component).
- I'm looking for recommendations for suppliers of nice wooden cabinets large enough for my kit - web sites or within the M25.
- Recommendations for/against IR repeater equipment also welcome.
Thanks for reading my post!
