What's on your rack?

What this boils down to is that my AVR and amps are now separate from the rest of the AV equipment on my rack, so I'm wondering what to get to fill the voids. Currently I have a power conditioner, htpc, and ps3. I'm thinking about adding a standalone bd player.. But I am not sure where to start.
So what do you guys think and what's on your rack?

I think your rack needs a little lift, you've got some sagging going on, at least in the top half.

It's ok for a rack to sag a little... just as long as it doesnt flop around with the ceiling fan on

Hey Villain. Your setup and your SRTs look nice but what's up with the grills? It looks like they are both from the same side speaker. Not opposite from each other. Did they come that way?

Kinda sorta. Short answer, yes. Long answer, there's some pinholes opposite of where the badges are currently placed..so I suspect that they were placed on the other sides originally and moved. Not sure why, or how they ended up the way they are, but I always just figured it was correct as is. I take it that yours are different?
I think I just got a great idea for a new thread btw! Thanks for the inspiration!

My home made rack, I didn't bother to apply a finish as it sit in a small closet. It also has wheels so I can access the back.

Here is my rack. Just finished it up about a month ago. I only have one shelf empty and it seems to collect odds and ends. Not much room left for additional equipment and I am glad. Enough is enough. At least for now.

No, it is 3 Sanus Euro racks with optional shelf spacing. Then a custom piece of granite for the top. The thing is rock solid.

Great looking gear and setups, I have a DYI rack that was a "double wide" and recently made some changes to a taller "singlewide" to accommodate some different gear.
