Let me add my compliments also - very nice, clean look you got there. My only concern would be if your components had enough room to breathe. Do you get much airflow?

I bet you are loving that HD. Do you have DirecTV or cable?

medic8r, the reciever and the DVR box can get pretty hot which is why they are both alone on there own rack. there is about 6 inches of space above the reciever and about 2 inches on the side. the dvr has about 3 inches of space above it and 2 on the side. if i have the system on for long peroids of time i will keep the glass doors open. for regular use though it should be fine. there are 4 cord holes on the back that give it a little room to breath. i also made one of the holes about 2 inches bigger.

I have Time Warner Digital Cable.

Very nicely done!

after medic8r made his post, I started to doubt myself. i went and felt my DVR and it must have been 150 degrees on the top of it. i decided to take the 2 doors off the front and see if that helped. sure enough after about 10 minutes the DVR was much much cooler. i actually like the look without the doors better. you can see the components much better now.

If you look closely at my pictures, I had the same DVR problems...So I raised the TiVo on top of 2 Atari cartridges under each corner. That helped a lot.

just to give an idea of the cords in the back.

Very nice setup New2 ... clean, functional and very pleasant on the eyes, great job!

Wow...a very nice setup! So modern, sleek, and clean. It looks like a photo out of a magazine!

Thanks everyone. I forgot how friendly everybody is around here. I have been over at AVS for the last few months and it just dosent have the "family" feel that this board does.

Sure it does, it's like a family of vultures.

Btw, real nice set up.
