Hard mounting a console should be made with the idea of "upgrading" in mind. Remember, PS3 and XBox2 are on their way. Watch making those spaces too small or too big for the newest goods. I currently just lay the PS2 or XBox in the VX somewhere without hard mounting. Of course, i don't leave it in there and only tote it along in case I am going to be sitting somewhere for a good amount of time and need to enter geek-mode.
