TATS, do you actually use the computer as pictured, or do you rest the keyboard on your lap?

Either way, there's NO LEG ROOM! 

You crazy bastard!

I suppose I no longer get sympathy for my "losing games" post...

What happened, did a Hudson Bee explode in that room?

I sort alphabetical, by system. I tried 10 different methods with the PCE/TG titles due to the 50 different spine label designs and ended up going alphabetical with those also, just separated hucard and CD.

And all the games sit in one of these.

I saw the Wal-Mart one but went with this one for its larger size and the ability to add a couple extra shelves to it. It feels sturdier too.

I converted a closet in my house to shelves that hold my games. I sort them by system and then by type of game.

The funny thing is that I love sitting on the floor and using my laptop. I also use a floor pillow and watch movies/tv on the floor.

Ouch! that makes me sad seeing all those goodies laying on the floor like that. My wife complains about the games being exposed on cd style book cases, so ideally would like to get bookcases with doors to cover everything up. I'll prpbably end up paying the piper and have someone build me a custom book shelf set-up.

I feel the same way as your wife. Keep stuff hidden!

You can buy doors separately (IKEA, for example), so it is possible to get cheap bookcases and then slap nicer doors on them. If you want it to look even nicer, you can buy molding at the Home Depot and trim the bottom and top... this helps create a really uniform "built-in" look when you have 2+ shelves adjacent to each other.

I use milk crates.

lots of em.

you stack up up and have shelving units.

plus you can zip tie them together for stability and crap.

and then if you need to move them just turn them over and carry them with the handles.

Ingenious.
