I did a "under the stairwell" version of Larry Fine's "Finerack" from AVScience, slotted shelf rails screwed to the studs from the rear and shelf bracket installed in them, and pine shelving.
I cut a hole and re-framed a door frame-stock as the edge, then molding applied on the outside.

I have about the same idea , I am using 2 inch metal conduit with slots cut in it and the metal shelves slid into the slota and tack welded.. Then I am painting the whole thing black since it will be mounted by th tv and speakers.. I sort of want it to match.. I also may use 2x2's if I dont feel like welding I have a really neat design for a 2x2 lumber shelf system with metal shelves

Greg,
the cabinet looks great. I would suggest trimming the edge of the shelves on the left or right sides, about 1/2 " so air can flow and possibly put a small hole 2"x2" in the top rear corner of the cabinet and use an exhaust fan to vent it, that way it won't overheat your componants.

Good Idea Chad! i still plan on going Glass shelves but I do understand about getting a little more airflow to it! I can put a fan in it in the top of the unit also! Thanks everyone for your input on this! Didnt know i would start such a long thread! I like your set up Ben! Also what do you think about me painting the inside of the cabinet Black? I also want to cover up the shelve holes in the back, but not make them unusable! Cant wait for my HDMI cable!

Chad I like that shelf from Home Depot I may go check it out tommorrow .. I would need to mod it a little. But it may work

The nice thing about it is when you put it together, which is very easy and no tools needed, you can set the shelves at what ever heigths you want.

This is the kind that I was looking at, but at 14" deep, it's not deep enough for many AVRs and other components. A20"x20" would be about ideal, but the closest I came was 24"x24" and that was from an online retailer who wanted nearly $100 for a 3 shelf.
