Show us your cheap ass gaming setup!

There's threads for this already, and cheap ass gaming setups sound kinda... ghetto... so I don't think many people would care to see such setups (of course, the people who posted in the other thread had nice setups so w/e)
 
I had came across a copy of Sonic Adventure where the disc was cracked, so I threw away the disc and used the front of the instruction manual to cover up the Sega Sports on the Dreamcast. (sorry no special limited edition here) :)
 
[quote name='SoNiC1023']^^^^ thats a pretty cool looking dreamcast where did you get it?[/quote]

The Sports Edition came in black, felt I need to add that in case you didn't know.
 
I presently have Xbox connected to the Composite input of a VCR, with the VCR connected to a C64 monitor that has composite input (but mono sound).

If your set up is that cheap how are you supposed to afford a digital camera? :D
 
Our personal gaming lounge setup back when we were all still living at CMU: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dalangalma/23997045/

7 TVs + 1 Monitor = $80 [Yes, that 40"+ monstrosity on the side was free]
Plastic/Metal Cubes = $10
Posters = $15
Switchboxes and Power Strips = $40
21 Systems and 700+ Games = Public Donation [ie: they were ours]
Speakers + Switchbox Setup = Free

Not bad for our own little community. Too bad Student Life hated the bejezus out of us, mostly due to actually creating and fostering a 40+ student community of friends and students when they...well, couldn't!

God, I miss those days and the events. Also, not pictured, is our time capsule we left up in the ceiling. If you go to CMU...well, feel free to unearth it if you can identify where it is. ;)

[quote name='daroga']Wow, a computer sitting on a subwoofer? That's just asking for trouble. :)[/quote]

Hehe, yeah, I've no room for a desk and gave my LCD monitor to a cousin.
I'll give this computer to my mom after I buy myself that laptop I want.

I hate using the TV as a monitor (though it looks great).
 
But keep in mind that the magnetic field of the subwoofer speaker, and probably more to the point, the rumbling of the speaker on your harddrive(s) could end very badly and leave you with scratched plates and/or corrupeted files.

If you can move it to the other side, that would be much, much better and safer.

Damnit, I didn't even think of that...
Thanks Daroga. I'll be moving the sub.
