Documentary: The Evolution of Your Gaming Setup (aka Happy Place)

[jeffhlewis]

I use the Billy bookcases as well in my office and I think they're pretty solid for what you're paying.  I couldn't build anything of similar quality for that price or less once I factored in my time, so that's what I used. Another thing I really like about them is the cutout on the back so that they can fit over your trim and right against the wall!

What I did after setting them up though, is stack a majority of my console boxes on top of them to kind of have a display area and maximize the vertical space all the way up to the ceiling. 

Yeah - those cutouts at the bottom are a smart addition; they go right overtop of the moulding on my baseboards and flush with the wall. The Billys also come with a wall-mount bracket to keep the thing from toppling over.

Totally could have built my own shelves, but I definitely don't have the patience and free time to do it these days.

Is anyone else thinking what he needs in that center corner shelf unit is a Vetrex?  Looks like a perfect fit and if positioned in the center would make for a great play area for it as well...

Better be bubble wrapped and sandwiched between cardboard to prevent damage.

Extra cardboard?  You mean a bulk order of sound dampeners lol

But seriously nice pmv laser active set up..

First time I have ever posted pics of my lair...  I almost feel odd letting people into my world.










My original TV from circa 1990.  Still kicking, even if all the front buttons have fallen off.








My girlfriend lets me keep the new stuff in the living room.  She makes me hide the old stuff in my game room.


PS3 and 360 sit in the bedroom.

I have a storage room that I just throw stuff in, which has all of my duplicate systems and other random junk.  It is so messed up, that cannot be documented on here, as I fear I may be featured on a future episode of Hoarders.

^^ Man look at all the AES  goodness. I'm jealous.

Clash, all you have to do is get all those damn wires, power cords and controllers under control. 

 

 

 

 

 

Recycling old photos. Don't get upset, I use the Sony CRT for all my old consoles (I literally slide it out of the closet). I was curious about how my old consoles looked on the LCD when I snapped that photo (to test the alleged "game mode" in the settings). Not pictured is the subwoofer + speakers I use when I can blast music (otherwise, I use headphones). I rotate hardware and consoles every month or three...

Esteban - I may have the wires of 15 systems and 30 controllers on my floor, but at least I don't have a cord covering my TV screen!

Toymachine - If you look closely next to the TG16 games at the stack of crap covered by the garbage bag (to avoid sun fading) with a few firecrackers on top (for the sake tempting the Gods), that is a stack of about 20 AES games.  Note, the AES is not actually on the floor, as I am using a Nuon as a shelf.  ...the Nuon and N64 do get floor treatment, for obvious reasons.

.  You just have to add insult to injury don't you ?

That's pretty wicked Clash! 

I dig the PAC stack, the boxed Goggles (drool) and other LA stuff.  Didn't see your discs though, I'm guessing they're hiding in a box somewhere.

All of my LA games are hidden in this case, which is under a stack of other boxes because the thing is heavy duty and it can handle it.  No joke, I can't lift the case due to the weight of the case + it being completely fully with LA games.

Another game room Easter Egg, the boxes above the LA game case contain my two Vectrex 3D Imagers.

Finally, the shelf of Sega Saturn items is just a handful of the games.  130ish of my games are held in a CD binder, with the cases in the previously mentioned storage room.  I just don't have the space to display all of those mammoth boxed Saturn games.

P.S. - I need to sell a Vectrex 3D Imager.
