So as we are getting closer and closer to the drywall stage for our whole basement (and the theater obviously), I need to start figuring out the equipment rack. I have an area in the back of the room that after drywalled will be about 25" wide by 25" deep. It is floor to ceiling of just under 8 feet, but I will have a riser for the back row of seats, so subtract about a foot for that.
I won't have a ton of gear. A receiver, the Dish box, Blu-Ray player and my old HD-DVD player in there. I will probably leave space for some future device, maybe a HTPC or something, but that is it.
I've seen some of these metal equipment racks that look like they came out of a network or server room. That is fine, but they are expensive. I mean, $35 for a single shelf? Really?
I could construct something of course, but I am looking for alternative ideas.
Anyone have an economical idea that doesn't look too "
Red Green" (ie: no duct tape
)???
