My rack is under the stairs in my utility room facing into my theater room. It started as a temporary shelf but evolved into a Middle Atlantic rack mounted in the wall. My build thread (see sig) has full details starting on page 4.
Started with this...
Cut hole in the Theater room wall - you can see the shelving above through the opening...
It's just 2 rack rails attached to the box you can see in the photo. You can attach any accessories, shelves, etc that only need front rail mounting. I have a full part list in my build thread.
One issue I'm curious about is how people are using an IR blaster. With my rack pointing into the hallway, should I mount the blaster opposite the rack?
I use IR heads that plug into a blaster hidden in the rack. I run the head wires through the rack to the front of the component where they stick on. The "stick" doesn't hold very long but they make a hood-like sticker that you can put over them to hold them on really well (and also clean up the look a little).
This is an older thread, you may not receive a response, and could be reviving an old thread. Please consider creating a new thread.
