Very nice project. I really like the dvd storage as well. I’ve got two standing orders to make something something like this for two big screen tvs. I will have to favorite this one.

Thanks for the post.

Nice job Scot. I really shows off your wood skills and makes a great contribution to the room decor.
You’ve made a great use of the space availalbe for concealed storage as well.
Did you have to allow for ventilation ?

I have one of these on my list of things to make.

Great job Scot, I really like the DVD drawers, expecially since you don’t have to bend over to look for movies…what a great idea. And it is well hidden too. Great design that looks great.

Thanks for the praise everyone!

Dave: Home Depot! They’re 20W halogens with UV filtered glass and run on 120 V. They sell them in 3 packs and they instal pretty easily. In retrospect, I should have used low voltage lighting instead – the halogen bulbs are spendy to replace (~$4 each bulb).

Did you have to allow for ventilation ?
Bob #2: Yes – the component shelves only go back about 18” of the total 24” base cabinet depth, and there is a large V shape (about 4” x the entire width of the cabinet) cut out in the top of the base cabinet to allow warm air to escape. The pasive air circulation method seems to work well enough, though I believe I’d need to add some air holes in the bottom somewhere to allow cool air in if I had a few more components running all the time.

Whiskey: LOL! I grew up with the SW series so I’ve got a few select goodies.
