Internet Scavenger Hunt

Dear Internets,
Once again I must lament the lack of a furniture search engine providing advanced searches by dimension.
OK, so, I’m trying to find a tv stand. TV console might be a better description of what I want. Problem is everything I find is either wide and short, or tall and thin. I need medium-tall and medium-wide.
I like my tv to sit a bit high. So I’m thinking 30″ high at least. Give or take -2/+8 or so… Most everything I’ve found in that range are also around 30″ wide. But I want something probably between 40″ and 60″ or so … 45″ to 50″ probably being the sweet spot.
Open shelving for gear in the middle. I don’t really care what kind of small shelving or storage flanks the sides, but *some*, eg not an all-open shelf thing.
Probably black. Prefer wood, metal/glass/other considered. Straight lines, modern or classical
This “Low Cabinet with Sliding Doors – Antique Black” is sooo very close that I very nearly pulled the trigger — before I found precise specs for the interior space on another site, and found the interior shelves won’t hold any gear. You need at least 15″-16″ depth, and on the width, figure the devices are usually 17″ and you want some breathing room.
If the Kathy Ireland IMTL363 – Tribeca Loft Tall Console has a little cousin it could be a contender. But still, really looking for more open space in the middle, smaller utility shelves/drawers/doors/whatever on the sides. And, uhh, I won’t cripple the search with an exact price requirement, but, umm, not that much. Just figure I already broke the budget getting what goes with it :)
If anyone finds the winner I’ll definitely buy you beer. Two if I like you!
UPDATE: I might have found it. It’s a little more than I want to spend, but maybe not more than I can realistically expect. I’ll sleep on it and give it some time in the morning before I say go. Beer offer still applies if you happen to find the same one. In fact I’ll buy three just in appreciation of your accuracy :)
UPDATE2: OK, done deal, we have a winner.
