AV Furniture - Depth

I was looking at getting a Pass Labs solid state amp however they are about 3-4 inches longer in DEPTH coming in at 21.25" 

Most run of the AV cabinets are built for 18" or less in depth.    Other than a custom job, has anyone else come across this and found an affordable AV cabinet that runs over 22-24 inches (in depth) on the inside?"   I need a wood cabinet style preferably -verses the glass shelving with open backs.

Forgot one other thing: Heat.

Closed cabinets, even with ventilation holes, get really warm. Warm enough to make a mini-PC run iffy. If you are planning to put a class A amplifier in a cabinet, having an open construction will really help keep everything well ventilated.

Best,

This is a serious issue, and it is made much worse by cable makers who put monstrous connectors on the back, like with XLR plugs. So even if you get the depth, you can't connect anything to it.
