my next project is to get my game consoles on same type of shelves/racks.

Well done on the pics! And good job on the racks.

Very nice! The use of conduit and end caps really hides the fact that its threaded rod.

Nice stain job too!

Nice Job! I can't believe you had all that weight on top of your TV.

yeah never really thought about the weight of all the components but no harm done.
