Depending on the size you want have a browse on ikea's site, or argos, or even tesco direct - they all do good prices & have basic bookcase/cupboard units.

I got a tall bookcase unit from argos and converted it to make 3 nice vivs, retaining the drawer space at the bottom to hide all the electrics etc

converted bookcases usually look a bit pants - but you have done a really good job with that one!!!

gee thanks

I think what really made it look better was taking one of the two spare shelves to a local kitchen company and getting them to cut it neatly into strips for the sills top & bottom of each viv - the middle one is only 12" high so only has a bottom sill

The bottom drawer is screwed in place and the top drawer is a front only held in place by magnetic catches - so you lift it off & inside is a large space chock full of wires, stats and banks of plugs!! Gets warm in there so you need some ventilation too - some holes cut in the back panel works
