It was the strangest thing. I was flipping through a home theater magazine that was just sitting out in the office and found myself wondering why everything looked so old. There was an article talking about how you could watch videos on an iPod. Strange. Turns out the magazine was from 2005. That explains it. All was not lost though, since this outdated magazine had an ad for the Avrak....
The Avrak is a simple idea, but one which I wish I had housing all of my home theater components. It mounts inside your cabinet or closet and lets you swivel everything around if you need to change or adjust the connections. Even though you aren't behind your DVD player, receiver, and whatever else you have controlling your entertainment that often, this would definitely be welcome for the the few times that you do end up back there. The only problem is that it is pricey. $922 for the smallest rack jumping up to $1691 for the tallest rack.

2005? Are you sure it's not from 1995? In the rack, I see a cassette tape player, a hi-fi vcr... and what's that? A laserdisc player?!?!

If you get a chance check out the ones by Middle Atlantic. Their small ones sell for under $200 and are perfect for 2 or 3 components. They have some great middle-of-the-road units that go up to 48" tall for under $500. I hope to install a 36" here pretty soon. That or build one myself. For the hardcores out there they have some full-rack-height beasts that will pull out completely.
