Stand By

I cannot seem to find a TV stand I like. Back when the old tube died, we threw it away but kept its base unit. Then,we just set the LCD on it. There's really not enough room for the HTS and satellite receivers, and Playstation 3 in it. I'd definitely like something as wide as the 42" screen with plenty of room for other equipment and all the wires underneath. I want something enclosed to cover up all the cables.

At the IKEA, over the weekend, I didn't like anything. In fact I got a major case of claustrophobia meandering around inside the megastore. We went to two furniture stores and still found nothing suitable. I thought maybe those put-it-together fiberboard products sold at Walmart might be right. Today, I went and found nothing.

The carpet was installed a week ago. I threw the stuff back together temporarily. I missed the big sound from DTS or DD. The HDMI cables allowed the speakers in the TV but they aren't adequate. I put the computer sort of behind the screen as it has become my media server for Internet streaming. I don't want to buy a stand until I really find what I want. I am just running out of places to find that special piece of furniture though.
