I just upgraded to s DLP TV and got rid of my entertainment center that my CSI 40 used to sit on. Now I have no where to put my center channel. Does anyone have any ideas on how to place this thing?

    I have the same problem until I upgrade my entertainment center. Which by the way, choices are very limited with DLP monitors. What I have done in the mean time is mounted 2 L shaped shelving brackets to the wall studs just below the top of the monitor. Don't worry about centering the mounting location with the monitor because you wont ever see them after sliding the monitor in place. This is the cleanest and cheapest temporary solution I could find. The CSI40 looks great.

    Let us know what you decide.

    Just to clarify you used nothing but L brackets right? Did you also use a board as a shelf or did you just lay the csi across the brackets.

    Slept rught through it. However I did notice the aftermath on my way into work. Addison was hit especially hard.

    I tried multiple options but ultimately settled on only L brackets w/ those rubber stickey pads mounted face up. It prevents gradual sliding away from the wall.

    I like this setup the best because you can't see the brackets.
