Thanks gang.
The equipment we have is: dvr, dvd, surround sound receiver, vcr. The plan is to build built-ins on either side of the fireplace and hang the tv above the mantle. So, I want to run all the wires behind things. I was hoping to find some kind of panel that I can mount in the back of the shelving unit. Something to plug the various video cables to the TV ports and the speaker wires. Then, another panel to mount behind the tv w/ the inputs to plug into the tv.
Mr. Google is not finding me such things, but maybe they have a particular name.... ?
But, I like the pvc pipe option if I can't find such a thing.
Are there any super neat gizmos coming down the pike that I should consider before covering up all my wiring routes?

Or maybe I should just go w/ IPU's hi-techaroni.
