Where can I find a rack to house my HT components?
Up till now, I've just stacked my HT components (dvd player, vcr, etc.) on top of the tv. However, I've just ordered a receiver and speakers and there just isn't any more room. I'm trying to find a rack system to house everything - I've looked at Circuit City, Best Buy, etc. but can't find anyone that carries them.
I'm looking for something good and sturdy, but not too expensive, and with enough room to hold a Dvd Player, Tivo, A/V Receiver, Vcr and directv receiver. Space is kind of cramped, but I'm trying to find something large enough to provide adequate ventilation. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Roy

If you like to build things, you could try building a flexi-rack. Here is an example of a flexi-rack

You just want a rack to hold all your components? Not a TV stand w/ room for components? I saw some gorgeous ones at Circuit City... they may be out of your price range, though. Wish I remembered their brand name... starts with a G, I think. I'll post if I find it.
Boltz has component racks, but they're outrageously priced. My speakers cost less than the racks they sell. (I have cheap speakers, but still.)
Edit: Found: Gusdorf racks. This should take you to Circuit City's audio rack page.

Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions.
Does anyone have a link to the $59 rack at Office Max? I can't find it on their website. I have 5 components, but this would probably work since my Directv receiver is pretty small and ventilated on the top.
Thanks,
Roy

Try this link:
http://www.officemax.com/max/solutio...kOID=537041300
If it doesn't work, the rack is called: Galaxy Audio Stand and it is Item # 20207571.
The price on the web site is $79.98. Is the $59 sale price over? When did you see the rack on sale? Thanks.

these are some COOL looking racks but I think about how many WIRES my current entertainment center (with a back) HIDES and I have to wonder how to tidy all these wires up? suggestions? I will soon be going with an RPTV bordered by 2 stands holding components and DVds. seems like it will be a pain to hide all the wiring
