Got a bit of tidying up to do, was actually just looking for wood to box it all in at a similar angle to what the TV is and make a corner cupboard unit for the cables / plugs points with a bit of a shelf on top of the 'cupboard'.

A bad representation of what I'm going to do, hopefully in the next few weeks! (any ideas where I can get cheapish but proper wood?)

I looked long and hard for an oak unit to match the rest of the wood in the house, ended up with that one (Origin S4) at I was able to mount the Soundbar below the TV.
As it happens, I've been upgrading a TV this morning. Ended up mounting a Panasonic 32" HD LCD on a ceiling mount...
...in the garage! :grin:

There's a thread on this subject in the Tech section, but here's mine anyway
(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h202/anotherdubfan/others/homecinema.jpg)
The unit is actually from Ikea but with the middle divider taken out to fit the gear in and the back panel cut to allow access to the sockets. I also put a hinged perspex front on it so that the kids can't press any buttons. :grin:
-
So there is. It's sh!t however.

Sorry for the hijack slick...
After discussing this more with the wiffy, she now wants a box around the plugs instead of a diagonal cupboard.
I'm still thinking of going for a door to get access to the plugs and here is my shopping list so far:
http://www.wickes.co.uk/invt/188030 x2
Pack of these for nailing the bastard bits of wood together
http://www.wickes.co.uk/lost-head-nails-40mm-400g/invt/510213/
This for building the 'frame' / mounts for the door/sides/top
http://www.wickes.co.uk/studwork-timber-38x63mmx24m/invt/107177/
This for the door, side and top
http://www.wickes.co.uk/white-faced-hardboard-3x606x1220mm/invt/110403/
To keep the door closed and make it a little harder for the 2 year old to open than magnetic catches
