Camouflaged or In the front wood cabinet .

Love the technological advances the past 10 years with regards to home media equipment/televisions. So much easier to deal with when decorating a room.

Wow, that's mighty nice! Thank you all!!

There is a small AV cabinet around the corner in the Hall that is meant to contain all those items and make it easy for wiring purposes.

So I have had the AV closet built but have no idea how to design the shelving etc for the components. The electronics cabinet is mounted on the wall at picture height. I assume there needs to be as much air circulation as possible for the shelves below. But do the shelves need to be open wired type for air or is just a flat wood shelf OK?

We have a smart home system planned for our new build. All smart home components will be located in a large tower in the basement storage room. The tower shelves are solid as are the sides, the front and back are open and each shelf is about a foot apart. Most items dvd, satelite, stereo, alarm, etc are about 4" tall leaving a good 8" of air space per shelf. The tower is 8' tall. The company that is doing our install wouldn't put the components in a closed closet due to the lack of circulation and potential over heating. I'd consult the pro's on this, your investing alot of money to create this wireless masterpeice.

Cheers :)
