Im thinking of making my own AV stand to house the electronics underneath and TV on top and im sure you guys can offer me the best advice on weather or not it would be ok to use MDF as ive heard its non reasonant and i assume this can only be a good thing.

Im thinking of the patterned front with the holes in so it keeps things cool and also the remote will still work through this. Im gonna leave the back open, is this a bad idea?

Also can anyone point me towards some pictures so i can get some ideas?

thanks
john
