I just purchased a new tv and I'm having problems finding an affordable A/V rack. The TV and stand are both silver color and I need something with at least 3 shelves. An enclosed one would be nice but it isn't necessary.

The max I'm allowed to spend is around $100 :( My wife is already unhappy with the TV purchase. I've been searching high and low but I'm having problems finding anything within my price range.

TIA :)

Do you mean an entertainment center? you can usually find those for around 100.

Component rack / Component stand is another name.

I got mine from CC as a floor model. I think it was $30 or something... I can't really remember.

pic from the old room (one of these, right?)

Just be a little careful that what you choose is sturdy. I had one collapse after it had been used for a couple of years. Trashed my old turntable and scratched up some of the other components. It was made of cheap particle board and when my wife tried to pull it out of the corner to vacuum behind it, the wheel collapsed. Boy was she worried about telling me she trashed my stereo, but for me it was an opportunity to buy some new stuff.

good to see the optimism there.

Maybe I should move mine around a little :evil:

Can't find on their website, but Walmart has a nice one for $85.00...I saw them last week at a store here in Dallas...

metal with 3 glass shelves...it is officially called a CD stand or something...

Here is a pic of it...

They also have matching TV stand for the same price...

Those are the old Fluance ones from the SX-HTB set (they made some minor changes to it, it used to be $259 for the set I think)
They've been replaced by some rockets now.

That ones perfect! Any idea what the model is? Perhaps I can froogle it.

scorpmatt: I just need the audio rack. The new tv has it's own stand

YOyoYOhowsDAjello: That one looks good! Do you happen to remember the model #?

RedCOMET: Ended up going with a Hitachi 50" LCD hdtv. I got a decent price and the wife wouldn't let me spend more.
I think it's this one:

No, and it didn't have a box either so I don't think I'd be able to find it. I think it was something like $250 regularly so I don't think it would matter for you anyway :p. This was the last one they had left and it had a bit of cosmetic damage to it which is why it was so cheap along with it being a floormodel.
