Orchard Hills Full Size Entertainment Center Carolina Oak

Wow! So awesome! Directions are typical from Sauder, not everything is marked, but the pictures are accurate, so it's not too hard to figure out. Once it was assembled and in place, Orchard Hills Full Size Entertainment Center Carolina Oak looked really nice. I have a Vizio 55" TV in there right now, and there is about an inch and a quarter room left on either side. There was enough room in front of the TV to comfortably fit a sound bar.
The rich Carolina Oak finish is the final touch, making Sauder Orchard hills the perfec

My 55" is in there resting on its' base on the TV shelf. Plenty strong enough shelf. You will need to buy a separate bracket if you want to mount it to the back of the unit.Don't sweat it if you don't have a drill and you're setting it on the TV shelf. This is typical department store furniture assembly. The biggest problem is that not every piece of wood in the kit was labeled. All in all, pretty typical of assemble it yourself furniture.

Atlantic 33935701 Gaming Desk

I wasn't in the market for a Gaming Desk. I was really just shopping for a basic, cheap desk that would be tall enough and wide enough so that my legs, feet and chair would all fit comfortably underneath. My previous desk had shelves and drawers on the left and right side that left an opening too small for me to fit with my chair rolled all the way up to the desk. This Atlantic 33935701 Gaming Desk could not be more perfect for me!

I managed to fit a surge protector, the power brick for my xbox, and ALL of my cables into the cable management basket. I have my entire gaming set up (Xbox 360, 20" monitor, games, 3 controllers, xbox kinect, and an astro headset and mixamp) and my laptop currently on this desk. It's perfect for pens, pencils, and paper or other small office/gaming items. Overall a fantastic product at an even better price.

I found this Atlantic 33935701 Gaming Desk to be a great choice for the price. I've considered removing it and mounting the monitor to the wall behind the desk, but so far haven't felt it necessary. Overall I'm very please with this desk for the price. Really Great desk, I was looking around online for others but this one caught my eye.

My Boyfriend has games systems which is cool cause he can just put all his game controllers and games on this desk which saves space from our TV stand which is awesome! I really like the cup holder and speaker holders on the side, a real space saver from my old computer desk.. A lot of pieces to this desk. I did understand that would be the case since its a pretty cool desk. I Recommend this Desk!

I'd recommend this Atlantic Gaming Desk for someone like myself, who isn't necessarily a hard core gamer but just looking for a basic, cheap desk that looks nice.

Belkin 12 Outlet Pivot Plug Surge Protector with 8 Foot Cord

These days you have a half dozen or more things plugged into an outlet and even though you don't use everything all at once, you do you need the expanded outlets. It would be curious to see if it failed and if Belkin would actually pay up on a faulty surge protector, but it's a very nice warranty. What a well made product. Only one side of the swivel receptacles swiveled and all 3 sockets were integrated. The fact this unit screws into your existing wall receptacle is another plus.
Belkin Pivot Plug Surge Protector - Surge suppressor ( external ) - 8 output connector(s)

I've used cheap surge protectors only for the fact that I don't have enough outlets. Since Amazon has everything, I searched and found the Belkin Surge Protector. On one Belkin, I was able to connect my Television, Receiver, DVD players (2), Satellite Television box, multiple CD Player/Changer, a Light fixture, a Satellite Speaker Transmitter, and two Sub-woofers. I don't have a phone jack in my living room, so I didn't need that (it is a good idea), but the 1-in, 1-out coaxial-cable protection makes me feel very good about protection.

This Belkin 12 Outlet Pivot Plug Surge Protector with 8 Foot Cord also comes with a 50k plugged in equipment guarantee along with a LIFETIME product warranty and all for just a few dollars more than the Side Pocket that had zero warranties. Belkin has made a quality product here and it shows. I've ordered custom made low capacitance subwoofer cables from them and the quality is superior to most of the high end overpriced stuff you see advertised in most electronic stores.

The 12-Outlet Pivot-Plug Surge Protector provides premium power protection for both home and professional workstations. It's built to protect professional workstations, laser printers, home-theater systems, and everyday household electronics.

The unique pivot-plug design provides greater convenience and flexibility in placing your plugged-in devices than traditional surge protectors. The surge protection features advanced design elements, high-quality construction, and superior circuitry and components that combine to provide the most complete protection from power surges, spikes, and AC contamination. The Belkin 12-Outlet Surge Protector is backed by a Belkin Lifetime Warranty and a $300,000 Connected Equipment Warranty.
