There is a lot of innovation in the electronics of our hobby, but I have seen very little innovation in the rack, cabinet storage that everyone of us needs!  If you have seen anything truly innovative, or built your own, post some details and pix to share with all. 

Some things that would be truly innovative:

* Cooling Systems in the cabinet
* Exotic Materials
* DIY Ideas
* WAF
* Home Theater Enclosures
* Built-In Storage
* Magnetic Suspension of components (AV123)

While Diamond Case appears to be geared mostly for Home Theater style products, they have some interesting features in at least some of their furniture.  They also have removable back panels.  Is that kind of what you're looking for?

I've been looking for something that could house my gear and hold my TV and was looking at their TT-400, and low and behold adioholics did a review (don't see all that many stand reviews!).  I'm going to see if DC will make me one without doors.

I like Salamander Design furnitures.  You can create your own design and it comes in a flat box.  Solid in construction with WAF and affordable.

My favorite in maple wood.

 I too like the looks and design of the Solid Tech Reference. My personal preferences in both looks and design is the Sistrum design by Star Sound.

And amp stand

If cost is no object, then I would vote for Tito's rack.

Munis K.  The Nano K technology is impressive.
