where can I find something similar to this...A/V rack related
ok, I'm adding another Tivo in my HT but I don't really want to stack it on top/under another piece of equipment in my A/V rack. I would like to find something like this to use:

I can't use this exact piece as its about 1/2" too big(width) to slide into my rack. does anyone know of anything similar I could use here?

Both my Tivos are stacked with other products. I have no problems. If there are specific venting issues, accommodate that, but you should be fine.
What is your rack like? You could just add a shelf if it's wood.

it's a metal unit with glass shelves. my concern is that the only place with the room for the unit is on one shelf which has my Oppo 971 with my PS3 sitting on top of it. I already fear for the Oppo as the PS3 is pretty heavy. it looks like the Oppo is slightly wider than the tivo(I don't have the tivo yet and I'm not having any luck getting the manual online at the moment to check on measurements) I just bought so I don't think I could put the Oppo on top of the tivo.
I don't mind stacking as everything else in my rack is except for my receiver. I'm just afraid of the weight involved if my Oppo had to be on the bottom. I'm hoping the tivo will be able to sit on the bottom but I figured I'd be better off planning ahead just in case.

Well, the Tivo shouldn't be an issue since it has wide feet that should be close to the edge of the case of another normal-sized component. And therefore supported by the walls of the bottom machine, which should be plenty strong enough for 1-2 components on top. The PS3 is not as wide, so that would be more of a concern.
Don't laugh.....hockey pucks are a nice spacer to make sure there is air room for ventilation. And you may be able to space them better over the walls for stronger support, since they don't need to be placed beneath the feet of the top machine. There are, of course, audiophile supports like this, but a couple used pucks from the local used sports store will be about 100th of the price.
