Man... the previous owner of your house had really... crappy taste in design. Are you going to remove that last corner shelf? It seems like an eyesore in your otherwise classy place.
And you really need to do something about that ceiling.:lol:

No way, that ceiling is awesome. I need something fancy like that in my house. I need some shelves too. And new paint. And maybe some drywall and insulation.

That's one of the few parts of the house that's actually nice, especially since I installed our new faucet. Garbage disposal would be nice, though, so let's add that to the list.

OMG, tell me about it. The corner shelf must stay (although I plan on revising it) because the gas meter comes through the wall right there Trust me, I really wanna drywall the ceiling, but it's pretty low on the to-do priority list right now

It's such a headache. Those stupid little squares are all that holds the stupid drop ceiling up, and they are starting to randomly fall out. So, I put longer drywall screws through 'em and hope they stay put for a few more years. Total headache.

Any pics of a collection is a good collection. Don't be shy, we all friends here, except for that small period of time when SoB was here, but he's banned, so no worries.
Show us what you has Mack!
Also, made another frankenshelf out of leftover shelves from other stands.
And with frankenshelf, freed up more storage space again! yay!

Protip: if you get one of those foam poster boards, you can cut out a pretty nice splitter shelf so that when you pull out a game from the 2nd or lower shelf, the items that are directly above that item won't fall down!

I may have to do that, although since all the DVDs are aligned exactly, I can just slide the ones on top straight up, without messing with DVDs in the other rows, which is kind of neat. XD

So, just finished the last few covers for the ol' SNES collection. Here's a crummy phone pic. Now I just need to start picking up SNES games again
And, I got all the portables cased up too (except for one GBA SP) including the 3DS that's on its way back to me according to Nintendo! Woot! I bought 3 broken 3DS systems that were store returns. All 3 were still under warranty. Spent about 60 a pop for each. They were essentially brand new in the box, just didn't work.
And for the heck of it, here's Izzy doing her super duper slow-mo leap from her bed

Well my collection was decimated by lowball after lowball that went towards paying for my Arcade addiction. Now that I'm cooling on the arcade PCB's I'm returning to the joy that is console gaming. Set up a sweet XRB CRT in the cave and am now preparing to restock my shelves with some retro goodness.
Anyways, still a work in progress but here is the hideout:

Awesome setup Ash. For some reason the standout item for me is that Sega stool. That looks quite bad ass.
How much did those machines cost you roughly? They look beautiful.

[quote name='wiggyx']On a side note, why do I see so many people with their TVs set to 16:9 when playing old school games?[/QUOTE]
For some poeple, like me, it drives me insane to have the black bars on the side. Don't know why, but black bars on a screen are not my friend. Also, some older tube TVs like that may not have an option to change screen ratio, so who knows. XD

Each machine was a different price and were beat to shit when I got them. I did total restos on all of them. Of which the New Astro City was the most expensive, (A) because parts are scarce, and (B) because I had to have the thing shipped in from Utah!
I, like Squarehard do like the black bars, they distract me and annoy the crap out of me. The TV has the option to switch ratios but I always expand the pic.

The white cab is called a New Astro City. In Japan all the arcade games look like this (washing machine style). They were never really brought to the states so they can be pretty pricey to track down unless you live on the west coast. It has a huge monitor and the screen can rotate to play vertical or horizontal. Great cab, by far my second favorite after the Neo Geo.
If you want to check out a cool upcoming film about Japanese arcades, may I suggest 100 Yen, The Last Coin. I lived in Japan for two years so this cab is a little bit of Japan brought home to me.

I have been enjoying lurking this thread for a while and though I would post up some pics of my collection, too.
Have a happy Independence Day, everybody!
Here are a couple of pics of the setup(s):
These are the consoles/PCs/sound system
Just the consoles and sound system set up
Just the PC set up
My AV tower with the Onkyo TX-NR809 receiver, my 60gb backwards compatible PS3, and my Modern Warfare 3 Xbox 360 (hey, it was a great deal on Amazon Warehouse!)
These are most of my retro consoles. I still have a top loader NES and games in the garage that I need to make room for.
My TV, center speaker, Wii, and media player stuff.
That's my right surround speaker alongside my statues and some of the SDCC stuff I've accumulated over the years. They're sitting on some custom floating shelves my friend made for me. Can you tell I'm a comic book nerd? All my comics are in storage, and I'm hoping I can make some room for a comic library in the house soonish.
This is my left surround speaker by the media shelves.

Here are some pics of the games. I still have NES games, N64 boxes, Genesis boxes, GB, GBC, GBA, NGPC, Game Gear games in the garage/storage that I need to find room for.
These are the media shelves currently housing everything.
Some SNES boxes and PS3 special edition boxes
US Saturn games and some GBA games that I have with me
Big Box PS1 games and Little Big Planet 2 special edition with the Domo-kuns
The rest are just a mish mash of closer pictures of my games.
