Hey guys. So today I've been setting up my Command Center and I've run into a conundrum with regards to how I arrange my Consoles. I'd like to fit my Xbox 360, my Xbox One, and my PS4 onto a shelf which sits beneath my TV. However, there's only enough room on the shelf for two consoles horizontally. The only way forward is to stack one console on top of another, but I've never had to do this before during my years at College, so I have no experience with regards to understanding how well different consoles do with having things stacked above or below them. I've listed several solutions above, and I'm curious to hear which of the seven you feel is the best. Personally I think 1) and 3) are terrible ideas because I think blocking the massive vent on the top of the Xbox One is ill advised at best. I don't know anything about the heating patterns of the PS4 because I've not used it for very long at all, but it seems like one of the better options is to stack it on top of something else. I'm somewhat leaning towards 7) at the moment, as it would allow the PS4 to rest on the non-vent side of the Xbox One while being supported on the other side by the 360. This would only block one of the two vents on the top lateral side of the 360, which seems like it would have a minimal impact to the cooling system of the entire machine. The shelf is made out of wire, so dispating heat from below should not be a problem. Any help provided is appreciated :) Edit: Just realized I messed up Option 7, it should read "Straddle the PS4 across the Xbox One and 360. Damn it. Edit 2: Most likely seeking a solution that does not involve stacking, thank you for convincing me that I was being stupid last night.

  • Can you remove a portion of the shelf to give enough vertical room to place all 3 consoles vertically? Are there any other areas in the shelf where you can put the consoles? Stacking is a bad idea, and placing all 3 in very close proximity also seems like it's not ideal.
