Alright, so my current A/V Rack is some early 90s garbage, that while very very very sturdy.. looks like utter trash.. I've thought about painting it, change the cabinet door handles.. and just dealing.. but I've realized that it cost my $40 off craigslist and is not worth an additional $75 in finishing supplies :T
Looking for some help here, just finished up my speaker project, and it was my first time with any sort of cabinet developemt.. looking for some books or resources for building this rack/tv stand.. to support the weight of:
20.7 lbs Receiver
~25 lbs HTPC
11.5 lbs DVR
~6 lbs Upconvert DVD
8.8 lbs Xbox 360
85 lbs TV
So that totals ~157lbs so I'd aim to have Atlas support 250 lbs, why? because I can. I also will over build Atlas to allow for future support of more/heavier audio equipment.. the TV can't ever weigh anymore.. (65" DLP)
Perhaps placement for my center channel.. I'm not limited here perhaps a built in custom Center to match Chimera, my latest project.. why? Because I can.
Any links to anything people have done in the past would be helpful.. I'll start mocking up some designs tonight using Google SketchUP..
