My new entertainment acquisitions last week have caused a number of issues in the living room.
First of all, my TV doesn't quite fit in the entertainment center. It fits, just not right. The other problem is that the Xbox 360, receiver and DVR computer together are creating a ton of heat in the rack. And by ton, I mean it gets so warm that you can feel it as soon as you get near. I think it's even preventing the heat from coming on. It has also been tough accessing the wiring.
But I love this entertainment center. It has been with us a long time, and as far as such furniture goes, it's kind of nice. Sigh. I don't know what to do. I don't really want to get rid of it. Maybe if someone adopted it, perhaps, but it would need a good home. I dunno... it has just been a part of our living room for a very long time.
We had the same problem with our previous entertainment center. We'd end up leaving a door opened in the unit because it got so warm and even then worried about the heat.
It's now sitting in the garage waiting for my sis-in-law to move into her new home and we purchased an opened corner unit instead. The good news is the TiVo has stopped making that awful whirring hard drive noise.
