Not much to look at yet, but I finally, FINALLY have a dedicated room for my gaming shiz. No more steralite containers in storage! I've seriously been waiting like a decade to have a place with enough spare rooms to house a dedicated room.
Me and the lady are moving from our respective city apartments to a bigger and more comfortable pad out in the 'burbs. The house has 4 bedrooms, 3 of which we don't need. So boom - instant dedicated game room.
It's literally just a few boxes at the moment (we've only had the keys for 2 days and haven't moved much), but I was able to assemble my tester Ikea bookcase to figure out how many bookshelves I can fit into the space without crowding it. Probably will need at least 2 more, if not 3 more.
Once the room is complete, it will house:
1.) 32" LCD (PS2 and later)
2.) 29" Sony PVM-2950Q w/ RGB hookups (Dreamcast and prior)
3.) The whole damn game collection on bookshelves
4.) Fully restored Outrun deluxe cab
5.) My Neo Geo miniature MVS MAME cabinet
6.) Stacking file cabinet for cables, controllers, cords, etc.
7.) Tats's "HET" nobey image, fully framed as a poster (along with some other art)
8.) Badass comfy leather chair
9.) Small computer desk for my Sharp X68000 and Sega Teradrive
I'll post updated pics as it comes along...

Everything's in the new place and we're about done unpacking. Gameroom started out as a clusterf*ck and still largely is:
Shortly after move-in I picked up the rest of my Ikea shelving (with a corner unit) and got that in position - had to shim the bottom of these things since the floor in this room is warped. I'll be fine if I never have to built this shit flat-pack furniture again:
Panning to the left a bit is the entertainment center which currently holds my Sony PVM-2950Q and a VGA CRT for the Sharp x68k. The LCD will probably hang on the wall overtop of these two.
Still a ton of work to do, and it's looking like 4 shelves won't be enough to hold the entire collection, which is what I feared, haha.
