So I finally got around to taking some photos of my set up. I have everything set up in my small small room. I won't be showing my whole room because it's a mess. I just made my TV unit and shelves look clean. ^_^

Heres my set up. I have a Pioneer 7th generation 42inch plasma screen. My receiver is a Sony STR-DA3200ES so I can listen to uncomprssed PCM audio.

Heres another picture looking down. My sub woofer is down the bottom left, my router is sitting on top of it.

A closer look at my receiver, yes thats lots of gross dust underneith it.

A close up of my PS3, yes it's dusty and thats after only an hour, my room totally sucks!

A close up of my X360 ....... yes I own 4 control pads.

My PS2 games

My Xbox, X360, GBA, DS and Gamecube games

My PC games 1

My PC games 2

My DC games

My PS1 games

That's hot.. and I mean hot as in ..spontanious combustion imminent..

Two Xbox 360's? Why?

 

[dark10x]

Here's a pic of my current setup. Nothing compared to some of these crazy setups, though. :\

 

[senahorse]

From aus. Bought an ntsc for some of the games we miss out on.

 

[mrklaw]

Whats that pioneer?

 

[intheinbetween]

If I was you I would put the PS3 under the TV and another white system up there. Maybe a Dreamcast or Saturn.

 

[dino1980]

Here are my place. A little bit messy now, have an exam next week.

Or he could just smear some white glue on it, that'd take care of it. It'd cover up those nasty fingerprints and dust.

 

[Rufus]

@dino1980
Classy.

 

[sspeedy]

Here are my place. A little bit messy now, have an exam next week.

If that's 'messy', I'll take it any day of the week. Most of you have such nice setups... but all the wires, meh.

That's the amp I want to buy! Do you like it? What speakers do you have connected to it? Have you tried 5.1 PCM through it yet?

Hehe I know. Have to do something about that. Here is the horror behind the tv. :lol

holy shit dino! kidding aside, wouldn't that be a hazard? I should be lucky enough to move to a new apartment in the next few months... so I get to start all over. yay.

Hehe I dont want to think about it. But I will also move in a few months, so I will try to sort out this gigantic mess of cables.

 

[cRIPticon]

After getting around to cleaning out my office (getting ready for GDC took my life for the past 2 1/2 months), I got everything back together and felt it was time to post some pics. So...here is the gaming view in my house:

In one corner of my office, I have a Vectrex and VirtualBoy at the right height to roll up and play from my office chair. R2 stands guard.

On the other side of my office is my work/play system. Dual monitors, Athlon 4000+ rig, etc. Notice my Xbox there, connected to the PC's video card.

And on another wall in my office we have 'The Shrine'. The arcade cabinet is one that I built and plays the Williams Arcade collection as well as the HanaHo Capcom collection. Systems on display and connected to the switchbox on the small TV (except for the handhelds of course)are, from the top shelf down and left to right: NES, SNES, "off market" game system purchased while in Europe, Atari 10-in-one joystick, Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, Genesis and 32X, NeoGeo Pocket Color, WonderSwan Color, Atari Lynx, GBA with Afterburner installed, GBA SP, Game Gear, 2 Nintendo DS's, Atari Jaguar CD-ROM, 3DO FZ-10, Atari Jaguar, Pong system board, VIC-20, Colecovision. Most of the games are stored in the shelves and drawers of the unit.

I can also pipe the video to the arcade machine or my PC as well!

Ever wonder what you can use your old GBA boxes for? Make a ceiling border!

In my bedroom, we have the GameCube, N64 and PS1. Not shown is my wife's DS Lite

In the family room, we have a Zenith 50" plasma. Connected to it are the Nintendo Wii, PS2 and the XBox 360.

Other systems not shown are my Atari 2600, another NES in box, Coleco Telestar Arcade and my Pole Position sit down cabinet that I refitted with a Dreamcast and steering rig.

PHEW! That's it for now

 

[Jefklak]

HOLY SHIT. Where did you get _that_ idea?

 

[cRIPticon]

Walking into game stores like EB that have crap plastered everywhere. Seemed like a reasonable thing to do at home

 

[McBacon]

Why do you have a testicles poster?

Edit: It's Dogma, right?

 

[cRIPticon]

AHAHAH! That is actually the thumb of Jay from this poster:

 

[cRIPticon]

Cropped the "nuts" out of the above mentioned pic

 

[Jasoco]

HOLY SHIT. Where did you get _that_ idea?

Yeah, it's pretty cool. I might have to do something like that.

 

[mollipen]

Here are my place. A little bit messy now, have an exam next week.

Wow, I absolutely love that TV stand. Very cool.

Can't remember whose set-up it was.. DCharlie, maybe, or somebody else... where they have the HDTV and an Xbox 360 on the floor next to it, and then the Wii over on a cabinet/shelf off to the side, but that really got me to thinking that I'm going to work hard to keep my systems away from my TV when I get my new place. Now that everything is wireless and system placement isn't as important, I much prefer the look of having the consoles off out of the way instead of "dorking up" the area directly around the TV.

 

[no angel]

in honour of my ps3's arrival, here's my modest setup

everything retro upstairs in my gf's dressing room but it's such a state she won't let me in there with the camera :lol

 

[C4Lukins]

 

[sol_bad]

That's the amp I want to buy! Do you like it? What speakers do you have connected to it? Have you tried 5.1 PCM through it yet?

Yeah I've tried PCM 5.1 and if I wanted to I could try PCM 7.1.
I'm not a huge home theatre buff and the speakers I on are Sony's SAVS300H (Australian name) speaker set up. To me these sound great and Blu Ray absolutely kicks the shit out of DVD in the audio department.
I do however intend on upgrading my rear speakers and centre speaker at some point, to something that has a bit more oomf to them.
Concerning the receiver it's also great to me and everything sound great through it so far.

 

[painey]

Hehe I know. Have to do something about that. Here is the horror behind the tv. :lol

I have that exact CD shelf.. in fact 3 of them, 1 in white 2 in beachwood. God bless IKEA.

AHAHA, Oh shi-

I'm going to take one of these screenshots too.

 

[IoCaster]

Primarily a PC gamer, but recently getting back into console gaming.

Here's my Lan gaming PC and Mac on my utility/techbench/desk in my computer/play room.

This is the otherside with my main desktop and PS3 setup. I don't have any fancy, high dollar audio system. I just use tv speakers or headphones depending on the game.

I put my X360 in the bedroom and use the 5.1 surround headphones w/mic. I can kick back and do some late night gaming.

A very modest setup compared to most, but like I said I'm still primarily a PC gamer.

 

[Captain Glanton]

Here's a pic of my current setup. Nothing compared to some of these crazy setups, though. :\

Sorry to have to do it like this, but I don't have a digital camera and have to steal someone's pic for an example [being a PhD Candidate for the loss, I suppose ].

Anyway, I have a LCD and a metal tv stand much like the one in this pic, only a little smaller, and I have my PS3 and 360 sitting under the tv. It's not the setup some people have on here--which are very, very nice, like the one in this pic--but I really like it. But my games and DVDs are sitting on a tall, wooden bookcase right now, and the contrast with the metal of the tv area has recently started to drive me nuts. I've looked around my crap college town and all the online sites I could think of but didn't find much. If anyone could recommend a company or website to look at for game/DVD stands, not too tall, that fit this kind of gray metal tv stand, and that isn't too pricey [again, being a PhD Candidate for the loss], it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

 

[Clouseau]

Here's mine complete with on screen image of a huge bug eating another bug on Discovery HD. :lol

Pioneer 5070HD plasma, Wii, 360, PS2, Marantz receiver, Onix Rocket speakers, and Toshiba A2 HD-DVD player

 

[Klotera]

In order to not kill page loading time, I've put pretty small pics. You'll have to click on them for larger version to see any detail.

Main rec room
34" Sony KV-34HS420 HDTV.
Sony reciever, Klipsch speakers and sub.
Playstation 2
Xbox 360
Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive (sporting the Fearless disc in the pic)
Cheap-o (but region free and progressive) Cyberhome DVD player
Dish Network HD reciever


Another Angle


Media cabinet with most of my DVDs/games/music CDs


Not exact the most popular game on these forums, but I like it - so I'm sporting the DoA4 poster.


I've already got a mess of wires behind my TV downstairs and the Wii isn't HD anyway, so I keep my Wii on the SDTV upstairs. Laptop is hooked up to the TV too. This'll be important since looks like DirecTV is getting an exclusive on the Extra Innings package and I live in KC. So, I'll have to subscribe to MLB.tv to watch my Cardinals all season.


May be hard to see unless you click for the larger pic. I keep my PSP and GBA in our bedroom, so I have gaming in the three main rooms of the house I spend time in. The PSP is sitting next to the lamp (my Penny Arcade book sitting under it), so it's right there when I wake up on a Saturday morning. The GBA is sitting on the bookshelf in its case. You'll notice on the shelf below, next to my PSP games, I have my DS Castlevanias for the DS I haven't bought yet (until I find a way to buy it without my wife being mad at me for spending even more money on games)


... poor Dreamcast. All alone on this shelf in my bedroom. I don't keep it hooked up - I just pull it out and hook it up when I have the urge to play Virtua Tennis or Crazy Taxi or something (maybe some 4-player Powerstone 2 when I have friends over).

Made these half an hour ago.

Be careful not to spill when watering that plant on the right.

 

[Masta_Killah]

What's with people and wrapping their cords around their controllers? It ****s them up you know.

I've wrapped them since the 8 bit era. No problems yet.
