    something like this, but alittle cheaper would be nice. And I have to have that many shelves"or more."
    I've had a wire frame shelving unit for years and I got tons of space, but I just want something cleaner and wire free.

    all the devices that need to fit.
    1.cable box.
    2.wii/wiiU
    3.360
    4.ps3
    5.ps2
    6.dreamcast
    7.emulator pc/dvrpc
    8.onkyo home theater
    the tv is already mounted on the wall, so I could put onkyo or pc on top for looks.

    As for the computer desk, I've already found afew I like

    Less is more. And I like the style you've chosen, the open designs are a bitch to properly wire manage and so almost nobody does.

    Same deal with the desk, simple and half backs to help hide the wires.

    I like the entertainment center, but the desk is pretty office-style to me, it would be weird in a home...

    MSP is right about the wires, but I like my open AV rack just so I can look at all my neat toys :p

    The desk looks interesting. I've got a nice big L-Shaped desk that I've had for a couple of years.

    As for the home entertainment...it's simple. I like it.

    The other thing about the open design is it collects dust. But the flip side is you get better cooling. I have a semi-closed rack (open front, no doors), with a solid back for wire management. And a single exhaust fan for cooling. Nice and clean, and I can still see my gear. Just have to dust from time to time.

    My TV stand was a craigslist freebee, but I bought the AV rack new (back before craigslist was such a big thing) and my computer desk was a craigslist buy for like $60...
