Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater 42" LCD Cabinet/Console Ideas

I just bought a 42" wide screen and have been struggling for quite some time to locate a console or cabinet arrangement that actually works. The problem is that I need direct line of sight access to my Cable DVR and Squeeze Box for remote control and a good sized compartment for my rather bulky ATI Amp.

Everything I look at has closed doors where the components should live, which is fine when I'm not using anything, but I'm always using something which means the doors would always have to be open.

I don't want a new RF remote system as I just figured out my new IR universal remote. The only thing I can think of is to house the components in a separate, exposed cabinet but would like to consolidate everything in a single cabinet if if possible.

What do you guys (gals) do/use that allows the remote equipped components to be accessible and still live in an attractive cabinet or console?

Thanks

Larry

EDIT I guess one could just remove the doors but am curious as to how you all deal with the problem
