Nice! Reminds me of Tabris's setup.
Okey, thanks alot! I'll probably go for 3 Poangs.
My old employer supplied that as the couch in a house they owned when they sent me out of town for 4 months a few years ago. It wasn't very comfortable.I have been wondering if I should buy three of these or go for the
It's basically a sofa bed, costs a little more than the Poang but I was wondering if it is in fact more comfortable.
Wow @ that Ice Hockey basement posted!!!
I wish Australian houses had a basement so I could put together a dedicated man cave like that...
My house is always so completely trashed due to having really young kids... can't wait for them to grow up then I can setup my stuff to look nice without worrying about it all getting destroyed!

saw that in person was mad ugly and looked cheap.
My basement is finally (almost) done, been working on it on and off for over five years.
I'll start upstairs, in the family room:
As far as consoles, just the Wii in here (mainly for floor space)

This room took forever since I had no idea how to finish a basement and had to learn along the way. I've been collecting this stuff since before the Jackets played a single game.
And yeah, I already know the team sucks, so please don't remind me.
This is awesome.
this thread is totally dope!!! been following it since 2010 and have since check all the threads back to the beginning. there is just something really fascinating about seeing other peoples set ups, from the ghetto to the chic- i love em all.
i'll be looking to get pics of my bachelor pad up real soon

It's funny that without looking at your name I could tell this was a Dutch interior. This was confirmed by seeing tweakers.net on your screen and of course, your name

PS3 is in the other room, but connected to this tv - awesome while watching movies.
Just have to get rid of some of the cables (and the DSL box) and change up the decoration a little bit...

I have that same Futurama thing on my desk (although in magnet board form.) My desk was a mess at this time, forgive me:

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Poangs are decent, but uh... I dunno. They're not great or anything. I'd rather spend the money for 3 Poangs on one really nice chair.

I have made the conclusion that this is the most popular chair on neogaf
for all colors: http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/search/?query=poang&category=products&min_price=78&max_price=80
I have one as well. although extremely comfortable it tends to eat away at your elbows, longer gaming sessions are not really possible with this chair.
I'd rather have a really comfortable couch but alas, no room
Thanks for the heads-up ;-) I'll go for the Poangs then.
Well the problem is that I'm part of some weird tripod where me and 2 friends always game together so I kinda need room for three but I can't really find a decent couch aside from the sofa beds at Ikea. The rest is 600-700 euro. The poangs looked nice but if you want better then the price is again up the ladder.

I would buy a Poang today if I lived within reasonable distance of an ikea.
They are not available for shipping on the website (ikea shipping is absurd in the first place).

Just found pics of my old vintage-themed apartment, which I shared with my ex-girlfriend. Unfortunately she didn't take any pics of the entertainment area, other than the corner with the hospital bed.

Anybody has experience with this model? Its only 349 euro
I dunno about that one in particular, but I tried sitting on the KIVIK, and it was actually pretty comfortable. I think that's a lower-priced one, too.

This one is an Ektorp, looks studier than the sofa bed. Too bad Ikea is so far away, else I could just test them all out ^^
But I'll probably stick to this one for now, unless someone has a better alternative.
Long gaming sessions need comfy sitting!
That is one tasty desk, where did you get it? Is it available in Europe?
Also, nice set up ^^ Like the minimalistic style.

Thank You! I actually built it.

Mac users always have such nice, clean spaces. I strive for it but can never reach that level of minimalism/simplisticity.
Then it's even more impressive. I've been trying to find a store with nice table tops but no luck.

I ended up using some reclaimed wood.
I personally find it pretty uncomfortable to sit three full grown men in a three-seat sofa.
I would totally go for three chairs instead if possible. Combined with a footstool that chair is really comfy.
I couldn't imagine buying a couch without trying it first.
Really nice piece that is
Maybe I'll look in that direction from now on. Would give it even more of a unique touch.You mean the Poangs?
And yea, I am ofcourse gonna try before buying but I'd like to know what my choices are and if any of you have experience with these
haven't been much of console gamer, if one at all, and i'm trying to change that now.
We bought the white version 2 months ago. Really comfortable but I think the main pillows will be done after 1-2 years. I think they change the pillows at the store on a regular bias, but maybe you'll find some long time experience on the web.

Also, consider Ikeas Numerar Butcher block tops. I almost went that route, but I do not really like butcher block.

I had that exact couch, purchased it 2 months ago. The pillows are all lumpy and you need to build the couch yourself. Overall it feels very cheap. Would not recommend.
You mean the Poangs?
Yes. Still using mine that I bought for my first apartment about 15 years ago.

Well here goes. First up my current setup:
now:
This is what it used to look like a couple of months ago:
wow, that shirt has been there for 2 months ?
how do you guys ALL have parquets ? ...envious.
i wanted one for my new house but had to give up for many reasons
I don't like to be reminded of any commitments when I'm fucking around on the internet or playing games. The self-nagging routines of adulthood are surprisingly robust.

Nice!
I'm in Powell. Not bad for games, just a straight shot down 315. I work downtown though, and walk past the Arena every morning.

I like your style a lot. I may have to "borrow" from this setup in the future
The Numerar is a good deal. I have a beech one in my kitchen over some cabinets I added. It's a pretty good looking piece of wood, and it's much cheaper than others.
Whoa, I couldn't live in an apartment like this.
You've got guts, I find scary even the vintage one
Thanks. Tabris' setup has been my main inspiration, as well as some other setups from previous years gaming setup threads. Needless to say it isn't even half as amazing as Tabris' setup, but I'm pretty pleased considering my bare bones budget, the fact that I'm still a student and this being my first apartment.
Haha. I'm kind of surprised actually considering the vast majority of the interior is straight out of IKEA. Though I also always seem to be able to tell when someone is Dutch based on their photos. I think it's the lighting.It's funny that without looking at your name I could tell this was a Dutch interior. This was confirmed by seeing tweakers.net on your screen and of course, your name
Where I live on sun just doesn't cut it.
Haha yeah I noticed the shirts when I gathered the old photos. If you look closely you can see that they're not the same though.wow, that shirt has been there for 2 months ?
how do you guys ALL have parquets ? ...envious.
i wanted one for my new house but had to give up for many reasons
As for parquets. Mine is pretty much second cheapest one you can buy at IKEA. Fairly cheap, looks great and it's surprisingly good quality to boot.
Awesome tv stand! I have the same ;-)Well here goes. First up my current setup:
Love your set up, clean and bright, very nice
