Munch, I've had shelves like the one you linked to in your OP, and I *REALLY* don't think that it will support the weight of a PVM.  Those shelves in particular are only meant to hold massive weight when used in a particular orientation.  If you load it down in the wrong orientation, it will literally turn into a parallelogram.

If I were you, I'd just start scouring Craigslist until you find something more suitably solid.

Word of warning on the Billies, guys - I bought 4 total Billy bookcases (1 during the first trip and 3 the next). Bought 8 extra shelves on a subsequent trip (2 for each unit since a DVD Case-sized measurement allows you to add bonus shelves), and the f*ckers changed the measurements of the shelf pegs on me. I had to go through great lengths to get it all to work. So make sure that if you're going to invest in a particular IKEA shelving system, buy everything you need up front.
