He says, "I've been busy building a new TV stand for the in-wall 'nook' in my living room. I took some Ikea cabinets, put 3 of them together, made it more sturdy, added wheels, and customized the heck out of it. I just need to reinforce the back, and put side-panels on. It didn't come out too bad, and it's got a nice space for the subwoofer in the center now."

ReplyDeleteThat's a horrible place for a subwoofer for a number of reasons. Though I guess if you leave it off thats ok.
ReplyDeletenow that's a hack. good work!
ReplyDeleteGreat Hack Charles- Way to come up with a solution for those darned sub-woofers! I like it alot!
ReplyDeleteWe recently bought one of the off the shelf entertainment units this hack emulates for about $400. Ours came with glass panes in the doors, which we presume enable us to use our remote controls for the DVD player and Tivo. We put our receiver, which gets very hot, and our center speaker in the ventilated cabinet. Wondering if the electronics get cooled enough and if the remotes can control components through the cabinet doors.
ReplyDeletehow much did this whole hack cost? i think this looks so sweet and i wanted to make my own tv stand.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful hack, but as idiot savant said a horrible place for a subwoofer. Acoustically, your going to get better bass if you put it just about anywhere else. I would also be concerned about a big subwoofer with a big magnet being so close to your LCD screen, not so good....
