I'm putting together a gameroom and I need a rack for my seven consoles:
ps1
ps2
nes
n64
dreamcast
xbox
cable box
The cheaper, the better. Need something off the shelf, so to speak. Something like an audio component rack, but less than $100. Thanks.

A recent post, maybe these should be merged instead of a repeat of answers?

build your own shelf, it's inexpensive (far cheaper than $100 for sure), easy, and will fit your needs far better than any store bought shelf.

well that's why I suggested Ikea. Their shelving is all customizable. And pretty cheap.AppleQueso wrote:build your own shelf, it's inexpensive (far cheaper than $100 for sure), easy, and will fit your needs far better than any store bought shelf.

I'll second DIY entertainment center. Unless WAF or lack of construction resources/ability impeeds that. You get EXACTLY what you need and no "making" ir fit. I had a need to have two CRT's side-by-side, and nobody makes a beast like that. I thought of using a coffee table and adding shelves below, but the weight issue made that a no-go.
From your post, you are just looking for a unit to hold the consoles, not a display device. Something along these lines?

Are you wanting wall mount? Or will something like what cptfishstick build will work (very nice btw).

Re: Console Rack Recommendation Needed
Yes, something like that would work, albeit with more shelves. I have a stand for the CRT and receiver. Wall mounting is not needed. Like I said, I'd rather not build something.Majors wrote:From your post, you are just looking for a unit to hold the consoles, not a display device. Something along these lines?
