Sounds like the problem is your stand your not ready to part with. I just went through this and got a real equipment rack with wire management on the sides. I built a second floor in the A/V equipment room just for my equipment but we won't go there. LOL The rack is the coolest thing to do and is very neat and professional with wire management. I have all my A/V stuff,speaker home runs,networking stuff (cat5),router,DSL,coming into a patch panel then I made jumpers going to each piece of equipment. If I ever have to change of move something the most it would require possibly a longer jumper but I have slack in them any way wrapped and wire tied.
