Greeting Earth Clan,
[Sorry for the length and disoriented ramblings. Just trying to "help you help me" with as many details as possible.
Please read, even if not familiar with particular Sanus piece, looking for other similar mfr/models and/or ideas to
mount accessory hardware to rear of column that does not have mounting provisions....
First, here's a link to a Sanus TV stand with integrated pillar/column mount that has provisions to mount small hardware
accessories to back of column

REAR OF MOUNT SHOWING WHAT I'M INTERESTED IN and Need suggestions for:
I'm currently planning and shopping for A/V Furniture and Components for medium/small Living Room Home Theater.
Wall mounting my new 55" Panasonic Viera ST50 is probably not good idea, at least until spring and summer lighting
moves sunlight angles to reveal whether or not preferred wall is too bright for plasma.
I'm not exactly crazy about the few Sanus compatible stands/cabinets that work with the mount above.
I do, however, really like the the idea of mounting router, ect on back of column....
Could possibly avoid having to buy separate a/v audio shelf, or the like, to house things like:
- WiFi Router, which has 5 or 6 cat6 Ethernet cables causing it to be quite an eyesore.
- Also need to try to do something to hide 2 unsightly xbox 360 power bricks as well as surge protector., maybe even
usb portable hard drive, hdmi switch ?
Here's what I need help and advice for/about
1) Is anyone familiar with the Sanus FMS above, specifically how well the mounting system actually works
in practice with various shapes and sizes of accessories?
*2) Recommend other MFR/Model (Line) that also feature some system or provisions for rear column
mounting system?
Budget roughly less than $500, so unfortunately, NO BDI or Salamander, ect priced items are relevant to me ;(
**3) Ideas, suggestions, or tutorials for improvising rear column mounting? Modifications and/or
hardware accessory methods to facilitate mounting on any/most column mounts???
?4) Other ideas for neat and tidy placement of router, surge protector, ect.... Whether concealed somehow or additional
a/v furniture.
???5) Advice for concealing/ minimizing clutter of
A) Game Console (spec. Xbox 360) or similar Power Bricks
Thanks for any input!
Hopefully thread isn't so long that I scare off any would-be advice..
Also don't think there is too much traffic in this section, but afraid off-topic elsewhere...?
