Yep, you will need to build your own rig for an OSW. It needs to be very strong and stiff. Its the worst part and takes time.

So this has been a project at my abode for the last 2 months (baby due in 10 days, and my previous mancave had to become our new bedroom as we did a big switch around to make room) - I have to give MASSIVE thanks to my best mate Tom (A sparky by trade, who did all the wiring and helped with the overall build and especially my dad who advised, guided and directed the project from start to finish)
So I was left with my garage - a building separate to the rest of my home, built in 1971 out of concrete prefabs with an asbestos roof. It was leaky, smelly and infested with spiders.
I think I'm gonna make a transformation video of sorts soon, but in the meantime, here's some before/transition/after shots.

It's a homebase own brand paint (UK) and it's Fresh Lime I believe.
Works great for green screen.

Here's ours
Bookshelf is a bit on the thin side, but it does it's job for now (there's barely anything in it anyway). Still need to purchase more speakers to get surround sound. TV will probably be wall mounted once I get a center speaker.
Stuff in the room:
Samsung ks9000 65in
Denon x1300w + 2x Pioneer FS52 speakers
Samsung k8500 4k bluray player
PS4
PS3
Xbox One
Switch
An ikea bookshelf and tv unit (can't remember the exact names)

My place to unwind and game.

I say this every year, but not a whole lot of change from last year. The biggest addition is VR, or I should say, the cables for VR. PSVR in particular really needs extension cables so I could at least not have its box up on the wall.

What speakers are those?

Looks like run-of-the-mill Sony stereo speakers. Presumably from the late 90s or early 2000s.
Yep, I got them in 2005. They're pretty powerful with a decent subwoofer. It can shake a house for sure. I haven't really found a good reason to replace them, aside from aesthetics.
Looks like it still has an amazon page: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001LCZZQ/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Upgraded my audio since last year. That's about it.
That has to be one of the cleanest "Game Rooms" I've ever seen. I'm going to aspire to that when I get a bigger place.

Thanks. I'm almost totally retro except for PC, although I may buy a Switch.

That's a nice desk. Where did you get it?

This just might be my favorite setup in all the years here. Work/play balance, retro consoles, black/white primary color scheme, G-400, clean...
Well done. And yes, I quoted all the images again because it's that good.

I know when I found and started using the swiffer dusters it changed my life in relation to dusting. So much easier to keep all my shit clean, but I still keep it all contained and not completely in the open.

My setup is getting a little crowded... But I love walking into the room and seeing it all in one place. Well, most of it anyway.

By the time I could finally afford it, I had no time left to play 90% of the things you're looking at in my picture. It's a curse.
This is bang on.

Gotta make time! Failing all else, Saturday is "game day" at my place. Very few things take priority over that, simply because I don't let them.

Must have been a gigantic upgrade. Wish I could afford an oledJust upgraded from 46" LCD:
to 4K 55" OLED.
For a night owl like me totally worth it.
.What's the side monitors?

What's the side monitors?
I use it for work every day, so that was a neat excuse.
Sides are 27", but only use them for side apps like chats, browsers and the like.
Got a 1080 too but my old i7 870 is holding it back in games.
Under the desk there's a PS4Pro and PSVR too.
That's why OLED is great, much better than LCD or IPS. Just had to disable an automatic brightness function in the service menu that was a bit annoying.

Bedroom PS4/PS3/VR setup:
I know this is like three months late but man this was a great blast from the past, if that's exactly the same TV as it looks like (and I'm pretty sure it is given that distinctive floating design), I LOVED this TV, such a great buy, had it for like 9 years I think until I finally had to replace it with my current X850C when it finally died.

This is how you do it.
-White walls
-No "collectors" bullshit on display
-No LEDs
-No posters (framed or not)
-No dolls (flat eric does not count)
-No boxes
Just a good looking, functional set up.
Thx! Actually the walls are light grey, but you can't see it on the pictures
I'm now 30 and I've been thru all the "battlestations" and now I just want it to be simpel and good looking. Also there has to be a red thread thru the house and the wife has to be happy with it aswell

Thx m8
You are correct! I'm Danish
Jeg vidste det. ;D
It looks like something you'd see in a magazine. And I agree with GlamFM. There's a lot of things to be learned from your setup. Mainly, that less is more.
