CAG Gaming Collections - Thread #2

[CocheseUGA]

Original thread can be seen here (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97510).

You can post as many images in a post as the board will allow, but ALL IMAGES MUST USE THUMBNAILS. This is not an option, and this comes from the mod team. Imageshack or Photobucket allow thumbnail views. Feel free to make the pics linkable.

If you would like a pic to go here as an index to your particular post, just say so in your post. Also, if you can, please tell us where you got your particular shelf/entertainment center/etc so any of us that are looking for tips can know it faster.

Have fun, and enjoy!

I feel real bad owning too much shit... gotta keep it simple

I noticed the back center leg on the TV stand likes to bend when you push it in to the wall. Just a heads-up.

[daroga]

minimalism ftw.Totally agree. My collection is way slim (even more slim now, check my list! ;) ).

I'm not ragging on anyone cause I Was there too a while back, but I don't understand owning tons and tons of games. I keep the best of the best that I enjoy, play the rest and trade/sell them now.

[botticus]

I will have to take some pictures of my updated collection tonight. The before and after photos are stunning. :D

[Roufuss]

minimalism ftw.

Yep.

Just wish I had a picture of the 1,000 plus games I used to own... now all the games I own barely fill up a bookshelf.

And Daroga, I was never able to answer that question of why own 100's of games when you probably won't ever touch 1/10 of them, so I dumped mine ;)

I think the only outstanding "omfg super rares I want to showoff" thing I own now is a sealed MGS 3 LE.

[Warner1281]

I've added about 50 games to my collection since my last pictures. Plus I built a custom display case for all (well almost all) of my accessories. Shit was a bitch to build too since I only own like 3 power tools. I'll have updated pics up later tonight.

[Warner1281]

So, my set-up is kind of split up. While all of my gaming paraphenalia is in the "gameroom," I actually play out in the living room. Yes, I know there's a TV in the game room, but the TV in the living room is just to irresistible to ignore. Anyways, as promised, pictures of the new set-up:

The stuff on the left is in another set of shelves that I built (probably going to expand it out to include the stuff that's just "there").

The shelves on either side of the entertainment center house movies with the very bottom row of each set being PS1 games.

All together, 250 PS2 games + 120 PS1 games on display. Not a clue how many movies.

[daroga]

And Daroga, I was never able to answer that question of why own 100's of games when you probably won't ever touch 1/10 of them, so I dumped mine ;)I know for me, I was buying crap just to buy crap. Between CAG and elsewhere, I was forever buying games, playing them once or twice, and then never touching them again. It was no good for me, and now I'm down to owning like maybe 30-40 quality games, almost all of which I've actually beaten to some degree.

All that being said, I'm still impressed by walls and walls of games. But now, in addition to "Wow!" I think "Why?" ;)

[JEKKI]

[Warner1281]

haha, did u get that DQ8 stand from that guy in the 'west' forum who gave it away but u had to pick it up from Carlsbad??

yup. :D Went and picked it up from Kuros. Now it "accentuates" the gaming experience as well as holds my gaming magazines. Beats the hell outta piling them up in the bathroom, lol.

I can't see any pictures in this thread. Anyone know what plugins I might be missing? This has been really bothering me. :( I use firefox 1.5.1

Okay, here's my Dreamcast set up in my room:

Now here's my main set up. This is in my basement, which is quite messy right now. I think I did well not to get much if any of the mess in the photos.

The shelving unit that's holding everything up was from Tweeter I think. I duno, my parents got a new one for our living room and threw that one down in the basement.

[Quintessence]

I am really impressed with how big some of you guys' collections are. If I had a digital camera of my own then I would take pictures of my modest collection.

I hope some day I will be able to join everybody in the fun!

[Apossum]

Totally agree. My collection is way slim (even more slim now, check my list! ;) ).

I'm not ragging on anyone cause I Was there too a while back, but I don't understand owning tons and tons of games. I keep the best of the best that I enjoy, play the rest and trade/sell them now.


I had a pretty big collection as well about a year ago, but had to sell it all off for the same reasons-- no reason to keep them.

the weird part is that every once in a while after the initial purge, I'd find myself accumulating a bunch of games again, mostly because I used to have like 5 systems (even though I only had a few games for each.)

My solution-- sold all my games and consoles but my PS3 (lol ps3) and DS. :D

[JEKKI]

ayo check it out I'ma bout to get loc'ed up on all y'all~!!

this is the main set-up. I am rather unhappy with it, but I live with my parents and mother insists my room be the storehouse of this table. The bottom-most visible panel you see rests at about groin level, so the keyboard is underneath it. My Tv doesnt get any channels either, just video games!! I gotta PS2 and Dreamcast, only the best!!

[JEKKI]

oh I jus made u my bitch~!!!

haha jk. I gotta get down w/ imageshack soon.

it'll be HELLA TITE

[shipwreck]

Give me about 3-5 months (hopefully much sooner) and I'll be able to unpack all my games and display them outside of rubbermaid tubs.

Somebody just needs to buy my house so I can move and have my new finished basement.

[trunksx34]

Do you guys with larger sized collections have any tips on storing/displaying controllers?

Here is my current count of systems that I currently have connected/not in storage:

360 - 4 Controllers
PS2 - 4+ Controllers
Wii - 4 GC/ 4 Wiimotes
DC - 4 Controllers
-------------------------
Total = 20 controllers not including the ones in storage (snes,genesis, nes, etc)

I'm trying to think of more elegant and/or efficient ways to store them for easy access. I'd like something in the middle of the continuum between storing them all in a rubbermaid box and laying them all out individually on a shelf.

I was thinking of some sort of cubbyhole/pigeonhole system for them, so that they would be organized with easy access and efficient use of space. I'd prefer something available to buy if possible, because i'm too lazy to make stuff by hand (usually).

Any thoughts/suggestions?

[SilverPaw750]

How do I do thumbnails with Photobucket?

[CocheseUGA]

How do I do thumbnails with Photobucket?

Right-click the image and copy the location. Should have 'th_' in the filename.

As for controllers, I keep one of my most played consoles in an Intec Gamecube travel case so that the little ones can't destroy.

[Dandeschain]

All of these pics are great. I wish I had some pics of my collection, but I prefer to err on the side of caution. I have my 360 downstairs with a couple of games in a drawer. The rest of my stuff I keep away from prying eyes up in my loft so the wifey will never figure out how much I spend on games. hehehe.

[Puffa469]

For controllers, I usually leave one out with the console (maybe two) and the rest go in a 'big bag o' controllers, which is an old duffelbag I have, and that gets stuffed under my bed.

[DT778]

Living room set up. Keep my xbox stuff in a box on the side.

Congrats on your new TV. :D

Personally I feel a good sound system is more important than the television. It enhances the experience so much.

W0rd, I remember playing GRAW in surround sound for the first time.. spiced it up a whole bunch. I'd rather take a surround sound set up over an HDTV any day.

A nice tv does in my book :-):D now if yours is amazing post it thats the freakin point of this thread. I acutally have an older 5.1 set up but never used it.

Click reply then look at the pic with the star and grass then put link in there or post url and i will make it show up :D

[Chacrana]

If surround sound only means loud sound to you, then something is amiss. I don't listen to stuff with the volume cranked up, but being able to hear the position of everything not only gives you a strategic advantage, but it's immersing as fuck.

Oh... and there's already a thread for this in the general gaming forum.

Well, it's slightly dated... reason being that I barely missed the cut-off for getting a 60GB at launch, and was stuck with a 20GB until sometime in early December (there's no way I was going to leave empty-handed). Either way, you get the idea. Perhaps I'll take a new picture if I'm not feeling lazy in the morning.

[Apossum]

I don't have anything special to boast about. in fact this post is almost completely off topic.

In attempt to build a set up, I bought an Olevia LCD last week that sucked ass at everything but HD. PS2 games looked like PS1 games on it, DVDs looked like ass, SDTV looked worse than my 17 year old tube tv, tons of ghosting and blurring at non-hd settings etc.
After about 2 days of adjusting literally everything and messing with every last combination of settings possible, I found out it was an inherent problem with the chipset on this particular model. This problem screws up 480i/p permanently. Why a company would put a TV like this out is beyond me. Maybe it's because they know people are dumb and that smart people will return it without thinking twice, but 100s of dumbasses will go on the internet and rave about what a great value the TV is. Luckily I found the one small group of smart people on avs who had this problem figured out.

But I got rid of it and got a 27" Samsung CRT HD monitor today that is perfect for my needs. It's about 5 years old but it was only $250 and in absolutely perfect shape. 8-)

I actually prefer the larger, smoother 480p picture on this over the nice looking but tiny and almost-to-sharp 1080i picture I was getting on the Olevia LCD. It's not as detailed, but it's easier on the eyes. I was playing tekken and vf with some friends and they were complaining that the Olevia was too bright--then we'd turn down the contrast and brightness and the picture would go to shit! :lol: this new tv will hold me over until I can afford one of those XBRs. :drool:

anyway, the point of my post: don't buy a fucking Olevia. Save up and do it right.

Well, it's slightly dated... reason being that I barely missed the cut-off for getting a 60GB at launch, and was stuck with a 20GB until sometime in early December (there's no way I was going to leave empty-handed). Either way, you get the idea. Perhaps I'll take a new picture if I'm not feeling lazy in the morning.
Is that a KDF-60XS955 I see? I have one too but I also got one of the newer XBR's

So, my set-up is kind of split up. While all of my gaming paraphenalia is in the "gameroom," I actually play out in the living room. Yes, I know there's a TV in the game room, but the TV in the living room is just to irresistible to ignore. Anyways, as promised, pictures of the new set-up:

I have a new Boston Acustics center-channel speaker on the way that'll fill up the spot directly under the TV.

Best part: The price. Actually, now that I think about it - The PS3 cost more than my TV (30" Philips HD CRT) and Sound System (1000W Pioneer HTiB) combined! Both are excellent quality though! :D

[magiic]

I'll post pics in the morning...

I have a 26" LG LCD TV/Monitor with a 22" LG LCD Monitor right next to it. I have logitech Z5500 speakers (5.1 surround sound). As far as gaming goes I have an Xbox 360, Wii, Gamecube, PS2 Slim and DS and my PC.

Hmmm I'm looking for an HD solution myself. I was interested in a Westinghouse because they're relatively cheap. However, I don't want a TV that looks like crap when playing my older systems/ watching DVDs.

Westinghouse, I hear is one of the better cheap Tvs. Any recommendations?

Westinghouse is one of the better cheap TVs, but it's still not great. I'd personally recommend stepping up to either a Sony or Sharp if you can... Samsung falls below those two, but above Westinghouse. Do not go with Vizio, Sceptre, Olevia, or other particularly shitty TVs from companies with no reputation. I guarantee you that somebody here will tell you to go with one of those and I'm here to tell you not to listen. I'm well aware that this makes me sound like an asshole (and that's probably true), but they are wrong.

I wouldn't base my purchase off brand name, but off the TVs specific model number. Just do some research on the internet, especially AVS. Sometimes, you can find a fantastic TV from a lesser known company for cheap.

[getmyrunon]

If you're in the market for a new TV, I would recommend waiting until around May-June-July, when you will be able to pick up some of last year's models on the cheap (as this years are rolled out). If you're super patient the next time to buy will be around Thanksgiving next year, when some older models should hit spectacular Black Friday / holiday clearances.

For the record, you definitely get what you pay for. I'm personally waiting on a Sony XBR2 to fall to about 1.5k, which should happen within the next year.

[CYRiX]

Do you guys with larger sized collections have any tips on storing/displaying controllers?

Here is my current count of systems that I currently have connected/not in storage:

360 - 4 Controllers
PS2 - 4+ Controllers
Wii - 4 GC/ 4 Wiimotes
DC - 4 Controllers
-------------------------
Total = 20 controllers not including the ones in storage (snes,genesis, nes, etc)

I'm trying to think of more elegant and/or efficient ways to store them for easy access. I'd like something in the middle of the continuum between storing them all in a rubbermaid box and laying them all out individually on a shelf.

I was thinking of some sort of cubbyhole/pigeonhole system for them, so that they would be organized with easy access and efficient use of space. I'd prefer something available to buy if possible, because i'm too lazy to make stuff by hand (usually).

Any thoughts/suggestions?

And Daroga, I was never able to answer that question of why own 100's of games when you probably won't ever touch 1/10 of them, so I dumped mine ;)

Yup, over the last 8 months or so, I believe Roufuss has ebayed 75% of his collection and paid off a bunch of debt and such. And in the event I ever find myself in uncontrollable debt, the gaming will be my first source of income to pay it off.

I have a dualy set up. I live in a 2 Bedroom apartment and I like to keep the living room reasonably uncluttered so there we have a 360, Wii, PS2, cable box, and surround. I don't use the surround much because I don't like to be a loud bothersome neighbor......unlike the tools that live up and to the left. I'm getting some side tables made to match the tv stand for a little more room to play with.

The other picture is my home office, it's got a sack of classic systems(not even all that I have but there was no more space on the center).

A little changes here and there, but basically the same setup. I definitely like your setup. I guess I could have as clean and nice a setup myself if I had a whole room to dedicate to gaming and nothing else. I'm slowly purging things out of the current "gaming room" but I still have a few things in the way (Like this pesky computer and computer desk). Once I get rid of the computer and add another LCD to the household, I'll be happy.

[Roufuss]

I forgot but did you end up ebaying/trading them?

Ebay for the most part.. I wanted to make money, not make trades ;) Some stuff I did trade off though, mostly the stuff that didn't sell on Ebay or was too much of a bitch to sell on there.

I just switched up my style and did auctions for some leftover systems / accessories and stuff, and it seemed to have worked out ok. I think I cut down about 80% of everything I owned.

My reasoning is that it will eventually show up on the VC / XBLA / PSN or a remake or a re-release.

It did save my ass from debt though, and it freed up a TON of extra space for me. I don't knock people who have big collections though, whatever floats your boat, because as Warner pointed out it's really good if you need extra money in a flash. I think I miss maybe 5 games out of the 800 or so I sold.

I *did* keep my systems (except the N64). I've got a Japanese white Saturn and a US Dreamcast... I kept those, plus the 4 in 1 for the Saturn to play US games and a few VMU's and my converter for the DC (to play imports).

It's a lot harder to find a working system on Ebay than it is to find a game... so one day if I want to get a few of these back it's as easy as just tracking down the game. The VC has me covered on N64 stuff (I only cared for Mario + Zelda, to be honest) so that got sold.

Get a really nice door hanging shoe organizer like this:

great suggestion...somehow that never crossed my mind. The shoe hanger could possibly be very cool if it was hanging on a wall somewhere, though it would also work well hanging on the back of a door as originally designed.

I really don't care. The games still play the same, and that's what matters. ;)

[achillesthegreat]

Some nice collections to see here. Nice pics all around. Don't have pics of mine but my collection can be seen on link below with public notes to differentiate versions. Not all completed as haven't entered all the other systems and games and keeps getting updated but it'll take time. Opinions welcome, interested to hear from others.

Really good stuff Warner. I like your idea on putting those stickers on the games you've beaten. I might do something like that.

yah even if u have a closet in your room you could put it on the outside so its always accessible.

Yeah some of these setups are messy. Are only single guys posting pics ? Because I can imagine that the married guys don't get away with having setups this messy.

I think it's a combination of problems. First of all, the number of systems you own is directly related to the amount of messiness. The more systems, the more wires, the harder it is to hide them. Also, I don't think it's the "single guys" so much as it is the people who still live with roommatese or their parents. They have very limited amount of space to work with, so things get piled on top of each other instead of laid out nicely. The last issue is the size of the collection. Those with small collections usually have no problem keeping it clean. The people with really big collections usually have a nice layout too (at least for the games... the system setup may or may not be nice). It's the people that fall in between that seem to have the messiest setup. It's too much to just keep stacked by the TV, but it's not enough to dedicate a whole shelf system to, separated by game type and whatnot.

Luckily for me, I built my own shelves for the games cause I'm a neat freak. On top of that, I only own a PS2, so I don't have to worry about a bunch of different sets of wires everywhere. Once I pick up a PS3, the PS2 goes away, so still 1 system. I'll probably pick up a 360 and/or a Wii, so that might complicate things a bit, but knowing me, I'll put in the effort to make the setup look nice.

Here's my meager collection, the part I keep in my bedroom at least. I also have some other games in my basement which I'll take pictures of sometime this week. Note the JPN DS phat Mew edition on the stack of DS games which I retired when I bought the lite (not pictured).

Here's my bedroom setup. Just a 37" Olevia for my room, but the roommate has a 50" Samsung DLP downstairs. As you can see from the pics, I have a bit of a cord crisis going on, any suggestions?

EDIT: I just read through the whole thread and saw some anti-Olevia comments. All I have to say about that is that the picture on this TV is beautiful, HD and SD both. The only issue I have is a bit of tearing that occurs when playing 360 through the VGA cables, so I just use the components now. I'm really pleased with this TV, especially considering the sub-$700 price.

[T-Shirt Ninja]

Here's what I'm gaming on in my bedroom. Panasonic 47" CRT-RPTV with logitech Z-680s for surround sound. I bought it a year before flat panels became relatively affordable, oh well at least it does 1080i. I only have my PS2 hooked up to it at the moment since my 360 and Wii are hooked up to my basement front projection system (I'll snap some pics of it later). I also took a few snaps of my desk setup.

I use to have this manual PUSH button switcher, this is so much nicer. And can switch via remote.

Also plenty of Component and Digital Audio jacks.

So, I just thought I'd share. I have an HDTV (but it's CRT). I have a nice surround system. (5years ago) and a decent enough game setup. (not really) I have a Dreamcast too but it's not hooked up. Short story, but necessary to explain my lack of gaming goodness. I moved out to WA from MD to be with my girlfriend back in 01' and only took what would fit in my car. A quite small Dodge Neon. Sadly my LEGOs, SNES, Saturn and huge Gundam model collection didn't make the cut.

Anyway, here's my setup.

By the way the movie on top of the rack with the guy with the gun is called "Bittersweet life" and It's a really good movie, anyway I'm getting sidetracked. A "fun fact" about the guy on the cover, same dude from Lost Planet. yup. Byung-hun Lee.

Here are a few quick shots I took of my (very messy) setup.

First shot is what I'm mostly doing these days - playing my ds lite - so it's some ds games and gba games and such. I stole the roygbiv color arranging from someone here on the boards.

http://img250.imageshack.us/img250/263/dsgamesod9.th.jpg (http://img250.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsgamesod9.jpg)

Next is my living room setup. I'm recently married (notice the wedding gift bags still sitting in the living room) and living in an apartment. Yep - it's very messy. 103" screen - blackout cloth stretched on 2x2 poplar frame. Old original Infocus X1 600x800 reso dlp projector going strong up above the couch and even older Klipsch all around - also still going strong (although that is an upgraded center channel from a couple years ago - the mains are from 94 though haha) HTPC case and receiver and a couple dvd rom drives. Deep in the junk are buried two xboxes and a slim ps2 - and a wii. The gamecube has been relegated to the bedroom - and I think the dreamcast may be in a box at the moment :( haha.

http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/7066/screenandspeakersbu1.th.jpg (http://img145.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenandspeakersbu1.jpg)

And last here are the hidden systems - notice the dust :( haha - haven't been played much lately - but the wii is getting some play time. Lately me and the wife have been watching a lot of movies - and lost and 24.

My mom has that same TV Lebowski, it's awesome. Great picture, especially for the price.

How do you have that one LCD mounted? It looks really cool like that.

It's an LCD mounting arm I purchased at IKEA for 20 bucks I mounted it to a stud in my wall and used LEDs for a backlight.

surely the stacking and tight space can't be good for that 360 man! you might want to think about moving it.

That's beautiful.

May I ask where/how did you get a "consolized Atomiswave" board.

[ArthurDigbySellers]

My mom has that same TV Lebowski, it's awesome. Great picture, especially for the price.

I do love the TV, but when I purchased it, it sure as hell wasn't a good price. It was a replacement for another Sony Wega XBR that crapped out on me. I believe this model is one of the first Sony CRT HDTVs that they made. I think I got it in 2001. It was roughly $2000 back then. 2 grand can buy a pretty damn nice widescreen HDTV now, but I'll take my CRT picture over anything...until it dies.

Are you sure you didn't take pictures at my house?




And to xcopy: your Neo Geo set up is sick. Or makes me sick, I'm not sure which.

Nice TV! How much did it cost?

It was $850 when i bought it but its now as low as $699 on sale at best buy. Its a great TV for the price.

I updated my consolized dual Sammy Atomiswave set-up. ;)

Using a 29" Nec XM29 Plus tri-sync broadcast RGB monitor that sync's to 15khz/31khz. That's why everything looks so colorful and vibrant.

It's hooked up to my Polk Audio 5.1 Surround Sound Home theater.

This year we took spring break, a few thousand and remodeled the garage into my very own 300 square foot game room. Here are a few pics of the finnished product along with my new PS3 which I got as a welcome home gift last week.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y80/BREVITY/11-19-06201182.jpg
We did all this in addition to adding flooring (storage) in the attic and one of those cool drop down stairs. We had three other small projects that week and got them done too; storage shed, new kitchen facet, and electric t-stat.


I have forgot how to make these thumbnails if someone will enlighted me that would be great.
I didnt see an area where there was a "post your setup" thread. Hope this is fine.

[zman73]

I'd replace that rack with something a little nicer, you can afford the 3 newest consoles, you can def. afford a decent looking rack for your eqipiment, they can be had for under 100, seen some nice ones at WalMart

Flooring is nice, the tv seems a little too high up though

Reminds me I need to one day put my pics up here

[MusicNoteLess]

Have your consoles a little bit more separated. This is not only to make the setup look better, but also to keep each system well ventilated, especially for the PS3. If anything, your PS3 should be on top. Nice setup tho.

[DarkNessBear]

Pretty good. But very messy. Cords flying everywhere, and that shelf you keep your consoles is no good.

Get a new cabinet to hold all your consoles, and either hide your cords or make them more straight. And then it'd be all good.

[bstan21]

looks pretty good. you can go to Home Depot and get paintable wire coverings that will hide all that mess.

[willardhaven]

Organize wires
Lower television
Move chair/seating closer

Keep us posted, I always enjoy watching the progression of gaming setups.

[Mr. Anderson]

Looks cool, but you should really get a new shelf.

[Pure Apathy]

I agree with everyone else, you should get a better looking shelf.

[Psykodelik]

I agree w/the shelf. Also add a little more furniture in there. Like a coffee table, posters/paintings on the wall etc...

[Zoglog]

I believe there was a setup pics thread but I cannot find it either. Could you change the name of this thread to a post pics of your setup thread so that more people can join in?

[Spades22]

I'd take the messy cords and shelf anyday with all three consoles and my very own gaming room with a big widescreen hdtv and surround sound. Lol looks great to me, I'll have to wait till I graduate for any of that xD. Thats not even messy to me....that actually looks really clean, yours is about 10x cleaner than where I play :lol:

[Michaellvortega]

When you remodeled the room you should have put audio line outlets and such so that all the wires hanging from the flat panel and the speakers didn't show, it's really easy to do. Other then that looks good, at least you own all the systems unlike some fools.

[Chacrana]

Hmm... okay, you've got a really good start there, but... there's some things you can do to make the room much, much better.

1) Replace that rack you have for your systems. It's ghetto and so is the mess of cables going to the TV. Get a legitimate TV stand, put the TV on there, and have the consoles inside the stand. I guarantee you that it will be much, much nicer looking.

2) Find some way to hide the audio cables. The room looks kinda bare, so I'm sure you can find some shit to throw in there and hide things.

3) Maybe get a rug for under that chair. Oh, and you could use a footrest.

When your in here playing the TV doesnt seem to high. When I had this mounted in the bedroom it seemed a little low to me so I moved it up two inches. I put the center bold for the mount at exactly 61". For me thats perfect; so far atleast.

The flooring was a bit@h I am no carpenter and it took 10 hours to do.

I cant believe everyone is on me about the shelves for the systems. hehe
I am going to get something better (I have no clue what) but this was used just to have something, I just have not found anything better. I am no carpenter so building something into the wall is out.

musicnoteless Have your consoles a little bit more separated. This is not only to make the setup look better, but also to keep each system well ventilated, especially for the PS3. If anything, your PS3 should be on top. Nice setup tho.

Thanks.
Having the PS3 on the bottom and the 360 on the top was something that just happened. I just wanted the two that needed to be vented the most on their own shelf.


DarkNessBear Pretty good. But very messy. Cords flying everywhere, and that shelf you keep your consoles is no good.

I know its messy as hell now but tomorrow I get those HDMI and optical cables then its cord cleanup time.

bstan21 looks pretty good. you can go to Home Depot and get paintable wire coverings that will hide all that mess.

Good idea, I think we have something like this at work. I will check that out.

willardhaven Organize wires
Lower television
Move chair/seating closer
We are just getting things setup in here (buying stuff and such). So we are playing with where things are but I like the open feel so far. I dont mind being a little further from the set. We have a bigger LCD HDTV in the living room that was part of this setup too, but I didnt want to bring it in here, I felt this was mine so I could have the slightly smaller one (32"). But when your playing your not so far back that its a bother.

Psykodelik I agree w/the shelf. Also add a little more furniture in there. Like a coffee table, posters/paintings on the wall etc...
I went with a coffee (Mocha-ish) color for the walls, wood floor (laminate), darker for the trim, (like our local hardback in Hastings), its warm and inviting. So the futon was to keep us under budget for the room while netting us three added seating. I wanted something much better but that will come in time. We have not decided on pictures or whatever. I am thinking I would like something dark and thought provoking. hehe we so need a coffee table or just something to put your dam feet on.

Zoglog I believe there was a setup pics thread but I cannot find it either. Could you change the name of this thread to a post pics of your setup thread so that more people can join in?

Should have talked to some of you guys first. I dont think I know what your talking about though. lol
I wish there were no wires showing but its not such a big bother to me so far.

Chacrana Hmm... okay, you've got a really good start there, but... there's some things you can do to make the room much, much better.

3) Maybe get a rug for under that chair. Oh, and you could use a footrest.

1. I wish you all would show me some you thought were good but not to costly. I have not seen any I thought would work yet. But I really want the TV on the wall I love the look of it plus its up there to stay no knocking it off or over.
2. Cables I got wire tie things for. Room is a work in progress, we are avid readers so we have loads and loads of books so I know two good book cases are in order soon. Some that will be a deep cherry like the floor.
3. Rug is a must we learned that this weekend. But the footrest is the first thing I am going after, this has been our first weekend in the room and I cant believe I didnt think of it sooner.

maybe you should have the ps2 on the bottom since it's the only wired console. So you don't have any hanging wires when you're sittin back

[Michaellvortega]

holy shit darkness bear owns a 360?

[Dro]

What model tv you got?

[BREVITY]

DarkNessBear, do you have that TV mounted to that stand? Pics a lil blurry.

I don't have anything in mind for the TV stand... perhaps scour Best Buy and see if they have anything. For racks and stands, I personally recommend the creatively named racksandstands.com. You should be able to find something there... and seriously, once you have your TV on a stand instead of ghetto-mounted on the wall, you'll understand.

Since I myself have a fairly sizable collection and only my bedroom for creating a game setup, I've been through this all before. Home theater and game rooms are basically my specialty now.

[DarkNessBear]

holy shit darkness bear owns a 360?
Yea... I get that alot.

DarkNessBear, do you have that TV mounted to that stand? Pics a lil blurry.

Mounted? No. Its just a TV stand. A little small though for all my stuff.

Ill take a better picture tomorrow.

Man, if you think the OP has a shit ton of cords you really don't want to see my set up. Between my HDTV, 7.1 receiver (only 5 speakers for the moment), DVR, turntable (yes I still prefer vinyl), 360, Xbox, and PS2 its a rats nest all most. Not to mention that my PC is right next to the set up, so that ads a few more into the mix...

When we move (hopefully soon!) I plan on doing my best to get a much better set up if space allows. I'll probably take pics of mine soon and post...seeing as it looks like quite a bit of us are a little messy lol

My room isn't messy...there's just a ton of systems I haven't hooked up yet. Behind that little TV corner my room is organized and clean! I even vacuum!!!

That's an Olevia TV, I got it refurbed for 300$ shipped, I like it a lot with the 360 VGA cable. Has HDMI too! Unfortunatly like most HDTV's all those system's next to it look terrible on it, which totally sucks. Right now I'm looking into getting my cubey comp (right next to it) hooked up to it via the component and just emulating what I can so I can at least get them looking nicer and running at the right resolution.

I guess when I saw 'via', I automatically assumed Bravia... not Olevia.:lol:

[PhreQuencYViii]

I guess it is messy wire wise, but I haven't even got half those hooked up yet. It's a little tough to keep that many systems and wires from going all over the place though. That stand there on has little places to put the wires, guess i'll have to use tem when stuff is actually set up. I still wanna get a 5.1 sometime!

[millrat1030]

I know dmes65 and can vouch for the 4 360's and 2 PS3's. He has a problem. He also has multiple dreamcasts, nes's, and xbox's. Oh ya forgot the couple of PS2's. But just to show you how boring the wii is, he only has one.

[dallow]

I've got the same TV as you PhreQ, got it super cheap during the last Black Friday.

I have my PS3 on it right now via HDMI.

I guess I'll try to post a picture of my setup.
It isn't the best, but I'm satisfied for the moment. I want a bigger TV and new receiver.

[help1]

When you remodeled the room you should have put audio line outlets and such so that all the wires hanging from the flat panel and the speakers didn't show, it's really easy to do. Other then that looks good, at least you own all the systems unlike some fools.
I believe you are the fool with too much time and money. Video gaming is a HOBBY, not a LIFE.

[PhreQuencYViii]

I'd rather have a ton of the older systems then all the new ones....360 is nice though. Dunno how that's applicable but yeah, I notice a lot of people have PS3 and all the others, damn thats expensive!

[dmes65]

What's with all the TVs dmes?
The reason for all of the tv's is that I like to have lan parties at my house. It is a lot easier to have everything set up instead of having people bring over there tvs and systems. When I had my house built I ran cat 5 cable in every bedroom in every wall. My wife and I have good paying jobs with no kids, so right know I can aford it. My only 2 vices are video games and hockey. And no I didnt move 1 360 to each room and just change the face plate.

Finally got things cleaned up now. Only thing missing from my games is Super Paper Mario which I'll hopefully be picking up today or tomorrow. Probably my last game to buy for a while.

Nice. I want to get rid of a bunch of games and systems, but no one is wanting them.I mostly Amazon'ed / eBay'ed mine. Always gave CAG first dibs, but often things wouldn't move on here so opening things up to the world-wide flea market was the way to go. I may not have gotten top dollar for everything, but a look at my spending tab would reveal that I did pretty well.

[DarkNessBear]

If I had any idea of what I would get for my lots, I would do eBay. I just don't want to put up my SNES lot and get $30, and I have no idea what I would set as a reserve.

I love the set up Daroga. Simple yet effective.

All of this is current up to April 7th. I have a "room of doom" in the sense that there are a ton of games and I live in it also.

This is 3 years of collecting roughly, maybe just a bit more.

It's a shame that I can't make a clone of myself so I could stay home and play all day. :)

It's also a shame that I live in the room, it's too hard to keep clean.

[Warner1281]

It's also a shame that I live in the room, it's too hard to keep clean.

First off... holy crap that's a lot. You definitely need to find a nice way to display everything that'll show it off but still keep the room looking clean. On a second note, yeah I definitely understand about the keeping things clean when you live in the room. I had to transform our den/business room into the game room cause my collection grew too big. Once we actually move out of this place and into a new home, I'm hoping to have a larger room specifically for gaming and nothing else.

[daroga]

If I had any idea of what I would get for my lots, I would do eBay. I just don't want to put up my SNES lot and get $30, and I have no idea what I would set as a reserve.I've gotten pretty good at figuring that stuff out. I'd be more than willing to give you hand or three in putting things together if you'd like. Just shoot me a PM if you want some help. My services are all completely free too. ;)

I love the set up Daroga. Simple yet effective.Thanks. I really like it too. Works really well. We just did a computer swap (I bought a new laptop, sold my wife's old laptop that was serving as our media computer and then put my old laptop in the EX as the media computer), and that Dell is much more stream-lined than the bulbous, hot (P4 in a laptop? What were then thinking??) Toshiba that was in there.

Keeping games to a minimum is the best thing I ever did. That's not to say I don't play a lot of games, but unless a game really strikes me as wanting to replay it, it goes out the door as fast as it came in. A good, cheap way to play anytihng I want to right when it comes out, without feeling hassled by late fees or that I'm burning money in a monthly subscription if I don't finish a game real quickly.

[nyprimus4]

Kuros set yourself up a day to clean everything. Store the old games that aren't played as much somewhere hidden. Then get a nicer TV for the newer consoles and keep the CRT in the corner for the old consolers.

[getmyrunon]

WOW thats dedication!hehe, the Gameboy games themselves aren't hard to do. The Wario Ware Twisted case was ridiculous, though. If I had known at the start what it would take to get it done, I'd probably not have done it, but when I was in the middle of it I had to see it through to its completion! At least I documented it so everyone else could see how much trouble it was and how much of a waste of time it would become.

I have yet to see anyone actually do anything with it, save for comment on how I have too much free time, which isn't really true, but would certainly appear to be so from that PDF. ;)

(sorry Brevity)
Originally this thread was not a “Post your setup” thread. I was asked to change it to that and I am glad I did its given me some ideas. My setup is still under construction since I just built that room and moved stuff into it. There is not a single pic on the wall. Whoever made that article put little to no thought into it. Comparing threads of this type to a “real pecker contest” is perhaps apt if we people in the thread are saying I outdid you or something but if they are posting to get ideas or just say here is what I have right now then its not a contest at all and anyway that analogy is silly. Whenever I see threads like this I always stop in for ideas on setups at the very least. Shouldn’t someone of asked me to use my pic in a post article? I am not bothered by it or your post really though. Just thought I would comment on it.

What's wrong with sharing the setup love. Sure it's some showing-off in these threads, but it's all good. We aren't here to prove anything with it about how we're superior to one another. Now if somehow someone's setup makes you feel inferior... that's your issue. The article was clearly written by some ignorant bitter bigot.
