thanks andrew - just saved me a couple of hundred quid on a tv stand when that one with the ilen trolley tables will do perfectly.

sorry to force but i am stealing your idea

No problem.


Doesn't compare at all, but here's my setup after having a bit of a re-shuffle of my room recently:



Been meaning to post it for a while, and I had planned on getting some better shots of it, but I'm hopefully selling the TV next week so I don't really see the point. (wanting to upgrade to something around 50" as I've managed to get a bit more space with it this way round)

Got rid of the 5.1 kit now, as I just haven't used it since getting my Grados, and if I do use speakers now it's just for music, so 2.1 will suffice. Still available if anyone is interested: http://ntsc-uk.domino.org/showthread.php?t=72823

Oh, and the basket is to chuck in my controllers / remotes to keep things nice and tidy, before anyone asks.

That's a nice TV cabinet there. Looks like just the kind of thing I'm after, even down to the basket for the controllers

Where did you buy it, and for how much?

It's two Ikea Opplis - were ?50 each, though they've put the price up now:

What you do is, instead of putting the castors on the one for the top half, you screw in the "locking" screws they come with for attaching the top of the lower one instead. You might need to drill the holes slightly wider so you don't split the wood, but other than that, it's like the unit was made to be like this - totally solid. (been a good few years I've had it now - though I took the castors off the bottom to lower it due to my reshuffle)

The basket was also one Ikea did at the same time, but I can't see it on their site now. (just took a quick glance though)

the force - I did have this one in mind but I think yours looks much better, and at less than a quarter of the price

Hi John...yea you can get that stand from This is furniture-London for ?439 for anyone that's interested ...link:http://www.thisisfurniture-london-sh...FTwHQgodtEsOaw
It's a beautiful stand...only problem is the only place for a centre speaker is underneath the unit.....which then means if, like me, you've got **** loads of cables behind the unit, you're gonna see em all...would've been better designed without the legs and they removed the central support so peeps can shove their centre speakers in, and you can still hide all the wires!!!!

The_Force, Nice house, but it's not a patch on mine. Have a gander at these:

Here's my mansion:


I've just had my yard done, it looks mint:


Here's my living room, note my high definition TV. I have every single games console ever made. They are under the cans though:


My kitchen is just as good as my living room:


Thanks for looking.

I've noticed you painted your door since last time I nipped round. We still on for tonight's session on Mario Kart? Get a new TV though will you, I hate using yours in split screen. No offence though mate.

[THE_FORCE]

absolutely funny as ****....I'm hoping to achieve the same look with our gaf one day phorensik.....any tips??

[Strolls]

It must be nice having a room big enough so that you can have a TV area and a lounge area so you don't have to have a massive TV looming over you while guests are round.

Bah! He could've gotten at least a couple of pinball machines in there!
