thanks guys.

well I bought the strips, but unfortuantely it didn't work. I actually think they *would* have been strong enough, except that the Apple TV's rubber base is about the only surface that they don't stick to!! very annoying to say the least.

back to the drawing board I guess. anyone have any other ideas?

You could glue the rubber base to a wooden base and then use the strips.

You can take the rubber base off to get it to stick, it just is kind of stuck onto the plastic.

You could create a footprint out of wood, find some straps to mount the appletv, then attach the wood to the wall, with the appleTV attached to the wood with the straps. The wood would only need to be 1/4 inch thick, and it might help with heat. You may want to staple the straps on the non-wall side of the wood, so it mounts flush against the wall.

See. It's metal, though you probably won't be able to get the bottom back on without gluing.
