I've been working on my "dream system" for about a year now. I'm finally getting to the audio aspect of the journey. Most of my equipment has been perched on my desk, which I'm not too fond of, so part of my plan was to encorporate an audio/video rack:
I didn't think to take pictures while the rack itself was going together, but here it is. A Middle Atlantic BRK-14, 14 rack space laminate rack.
The shelves are assembled with laser cut face plates to custom fit each component they will be masking.
Here it will sit for now, untill the new desk comes in. The top shelf will house a Marantz SR5003 (next week's purchase), the second my Sony BDP-S301 Blu-Ray Player, the third my Toshiba HD-A30 HD-DVD Player, the fourth and blank space an APC H15BLK Line Conditioner/Surge Protecter (also next week). That leaves me 3 ramaining rack spaces for whatever. I'm thinking of building a media server from some of the parts I have laying around, who knows. For now it is covered with a blank. At 26" tall it will just slide under the new desk. That I'll probably have to drive to Illinios to pick up, since the shipping would be ridiculous. Regardless, things are starting to come together and I'm getting excited. I had to share it with somebody who wouldn't look at me like I've got a motherboard growing out of my head.
By the way, this is the rest of the system in its current state. Ikea corner desk and 5.1 Axiom speakers with HSU sub are yet to come:
