UPDATE:
As part of the Great Living Room Shuffle and subsequent discovery of needing to move this year, the TV unit ended up being moved and redesigned. Fortunately it's been in the new state for quite a while, which at least means the unit worked while it was where it ended up at the end of this post when originally written.
(Spring 2013)
The TV unit as for quite a while taken up a good area of my lounge and housed plenty of equipment and with the speaker stands as well, it's most of a wall. The problem now is to move it to what is, in all honesty the place it should always have been, it needs to be shorter, so the center third is coming out.
The sub is moving behind the sofa and the HTPC in the bottom left is just coming out of the unit all together as it wasn't getting used.
With the top removed and the two end sections pushed together the top has to be cut down. Sadly, all the cabling i'd carefully done had to be picked apart to put a new shelf in to allow a few extras to be added.
One cut with the power saw, and it's done.
The amp, CD and DVD player all stayed in the same place, although the two players are now on their own shelves with the switch behind the CD player. The other side has the Xbox, Sky receiver and more consoles on the bottom shelf.
Once the cables are in, the unit needs a back on some of it to help make it stable, it's not much but it does a lot to stop it swaying.
The only things thats not changed is the Amp has been replaced with a newer AV receiver and the TV is say on top of a larger center speaker. At least it survived the upgrade and still worked well enough.
