The Brag n' Boast Thread

VestCoat, I have that same RCA tv. Had anyway. I think it had s-video as the highest video input. Weighed a ton. When I switched to an hdtv, I sold it for $100 to someone else in 2009.

I s-video the shit out of my 3DO and DVD player.

Looking nice guys. I'm going to build a 12 cube custom shelves to hold all my concoles. Hopefully 12 is enough:) Got my materials and ready to start. Hopefully I'll get it done by this weekend. Can't wait to show it to you guys!!

A TurboGrafx or Duo will only squeeze into a twelve-inch cube if you have a Turbobooster or mod to put the AV out on the back of the unit; otherwise it sticks out and you need more room on the side. 

Vestcoat, here is what I meant 12 cubes shelve. First furniture I ever attempted. Just need to paint. Debating whether or not I should put a backing.

DON'T PAINT!! Stain and varnish! Awesome job man! looks great

I agree with Nando.  Paint bad....Stain good...

Here is my game collection, minus the smidge of modern games I have elsewhere:



The most interesting part is probably the complete Euro NGPC set.

Agree with Nando and Bernie 
Or you can do a combination which i did for my movie/game shelf...Paint for the main 4 boards (top, bottom, left, right) and stain the inner racks.
Word of advice though, try to get all your brush strokes in the same direction, this will give it a nice wood grain look  , unfortunately could be tricky unless u can remove those inner racks for easier access. I'll see if i can dig up some pics...

The shelving looks awesome!  I would go with a backing.  Seeing all the cables hanging down will drive you nuts.  Especially if you have painted white walls.  Not to mention you'll have a crapload of power bars at the bottom so you'll be able to see all the massive AC adapters.  I have serious OCD when it comes to cabling, so me I would put a backing on (with holes drilled for cabling) and I'd still end up tie-wrapping all the cabling to keep it neat.  If I had 12 consoles I'd probably add some P-Touch labelling too just in case I had to unplug something specific in the future.

@SuperPlay - Are those IKEA shelving/cabinets?  They are pretty sweet looking.

Some excellent collections being posted here.  I'm more envious with every post.

Nice work turbokon :@) love the shelving unit that you have made.

FiftyQuid:  I picked up the cabinets from Argos here in the UK (Around £45 each).  Unfortunately I do not think that they stock them any more :-(  On a side note I have lined the inside of the doors with brown paper as these face a window and I wanted to reduce spine fading due to Sun-fade.
