My wireless router is currently hardwired to my PS3, sitting in the back of my entertainment stand. I’m thinking of getting a new cleaner-looking entertainment stand that will hide the PS3, cable box, and the wireless router. I would open the doors to use the cable box and PS3, but I would like to keep the wireless router up and running without opening and closing the doors.

Will the wireless router work in a wood enclosed (maple) cabinet? Assume that there is proper ventilation in the rear. The storage cabinet would be able to snuggly fit the cable box, PS3, and wireless router. No glass doors, everything is wood on all sides.

Yes. Metal, or other dense material is the main issue. The veneered wood of a cabinet should present no problem.

okay guys, so I live in the same state of my college campus so I decided not to dorm there and save a few thousands dollars but I went from a pretty good size home to a 750 square foot apartment.
can you give me some advice of things to buy that are decently cheap that would help make my place seem bigger?
my kitchen is about the size of a walk in closet with minimal counter space, no pantry and limited cabinets.
where could I put pantry items, pots/pants, dinnerware? (I have a decent collection because I’m into cooking
also for the bedroom and living room, any clever storage advice? (racks, bins, etc)
thank you so much
maximum amount of points for best answers<3

Try not to overcrowd the place, just buy simple, minimalist stuff. Light colors can really help make a place seem bigger, and also mirrors. You can hang pans and stuff on the walls in your kitchen, they could make a nice contrast with a really bold color ( like this: http://www.allaboutyou.com/?module=images&func=display&fileId=67917 ). About the bedroom, I really like those beds with storage space underneath the mattress. You can’t imagine how much stuff can go in there.
You can try looking in the 2010 Ikea catalog, or to make it fun, go through interior design photos on the internet, find something you really like and try to replicate it as much as possible.
