Measure Up

The first step in deciding on a media center is finding the right cabinetry. Make sure your cabinetry can hold the size and number of items you own -- or plan to own. Be sure you have enough spaces for power cords, surge protectors, and cables. It's likely that your next television will be larger and thinner, so plan accordingly. Also, allow enough airflow to prevent the equipment from overheating.
