So I had a few conversations with YW84U regarding his DIY rack here's the linky http://www.digitalhome.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=101172 and made my attempt at replicating it to the best of my ability.
I still need to paint the shelves and layout my wiring to make it nice and clean which those photos will be coming but I told Tom I would post pictures on progress so here's a few. I had a few issues that came about during my construction of the rack one being the stud that ran almost right down the middle of where I cut out the drywall. I was unable to cut off an additional 1.5" from the stud above the cutout to allow for a top header but I braced it and think it will do just fine. Other than the fact that I was very limited on space I was only able to create a height of about 35" although if I absolutely need to I can cutout more of the drywall from the bottom as I have about 7 inches below that I could utilize. Since I really only have about 5 components this size was just right with the additional space being used for disc cases etc. All in all it was a quick throw together DIY which went pretty well.
Again I want to thank YW84U for the inspiration
and appreciate him taking the time to discuss my options via instant messages.





This is where I was unable to cut that extra 1.5" of the stud above the cut out so I was unable to run a top header of the rack so I added a brace for additional support.


To the right in the door opening you can see what I'm working with now UGHH!!!! It's painful to say the least but was adequate for the time being.
