Thanks for the comments
Pirate hunter - its actually a wireless x-box controller. The N64 is in a box in my storage room.
Reese - very comfy, it reclines almost flat and has a solid leg rest. Darn couch cost more than the TV
Derb - its just the angle of the pic. Many of my componest have side vents, so some of them are indeed stacked. The reciever has 5 inches above it. I also have a small fan that blows on the whole rig from the back. It usually stays very cool.
