Premise
- People make cabinets to hold their entertainment system.
- People make cabinets to hold their computer equipment.
- People make standardised-sized racks to hold their computer equipment.
- Computer equipment is becoming more an entertainment system every day.
Conclusion?
- Use a designed-for-computer RackCabinet as an entertainment system cabinet.
Basic Layout
- Cabinet with a square footprint with rails spaced as a 19 inch rack along all faces.
- ie, cabinets are not designed with an explicit 'front'
- Two cabinets roughly 190cm high (42 RU?) for speakers and storage
- Two cabinets roughly 60cm high (12RU?) to make a base for TV.
- My preferred style: Metal cabinets, with wooden doors at front only. (not sides or rear)
- For remote control access through doors, an IR-retransmitter may be required. Alternatively, bluetooth remotes
- Advantage of square footprint is that rack-mount shelves can be mounted to face outwards from the sides (for use as speaker stands or random cabinet trinkets)
Additional notes
Some things may need to be custom designed?
