Whatever happened to standard A/V component sizes? <br><br>DVD players have become crappy little boxes, this thing is a tiny little box, the satellite receivers are crappy little boxes.<br><br>Give me something that I can stack neatly on top of other A/V components (or better yet, rack mount like my Carver amps are capable of). I don't want stuff strewn all over the place because you can't stack it neatly.<br><br><br><br>Hey I'm an F'n Jerk!®

Then it would "stack" just fine.<br><br>I don't know how serious you are about this, but that has to be the lamest criticism I've ever heard. <br><br>"I wish my iPod was heavier, then it wouldn't slide off my car seat so easily."<br>"My printer is too compact, now I have to stretch all the way across my desk to pick up my printouts." <br><br>

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p><br>I don't know how serious you are about this, but that has to be the lamest criticism I've ever heard.<p><hr></blockquote><p><br>It's hardly lame to those of us who have spent considerable amount of time and money on their A/V setups and cable routings. My A/V equipment is sunk into the wall, with cables routed out of sight. These non-standard sizes aren't an efficient way of doing things. For people who don't have a lot of pieces of equipment, it might not be a big deal, but those of us who do prefer standard rack sizes.<br><br>My DVD player, btw is standard component size. There are plenty of 'em out there, but there are more of the crappy little things.<br><br><br><br>Hey I'm an F'n Jerk!®

Here's your solution - go to your nearest furniture store and steal one of those fake cardboard/plastic DVD/VCR models. Cut Apple-TV-sized hole in center of model. Drop in the Apple TV, poke holes in back for cables.<br><br>Done! <br><br>
