Instead of a cup of writing utensils, you should get a cup of Life Savers candy. That desk has room for 1 or maybe 2 pens at the most.

Finally retired my Xbox 360 HD-DVD Player.

Regardless of what you pick, go to a store where you can actually sit in the chairs for yourself; everyone has different needs for comfort. Staples has a decent selection, just watch our for their really low-end stuff. Build quality usually really suffers on the cheaper chairs.

Gotcha. There's an Office Depot fairly close to my work so I may go by there on lunch tomorrow and see what they have. I'm currently (and have been for years) using an old office rolling chair and it is awful; the padding is shot and is terribly uncomfortable after just a few minutes.
Yes why not. it's specifically made for it.
If you have something your proud of why not show it off in an appropriate manner?
Also the amount of inspiration you can get here is awesome.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Got a new TV this weekend in preparation for next-gen, which sounds like it might be here sooner than we know it - can't wait!

I finally found the desk I want to get (below is not my setup, just an example). It's discontinued now too so it's value should increase, not decrease.
Thanks a lot jerk! I didn't know I needed this until you posted it.
I agree. Now Im desk envy.
And it just so happens, my 2 favorite colors are White and Brown.

I'm on board too. That desk is absolutely amazing. I'm actually having a real problem finding something I like. I've also noticed that a lot of people put their tower on the desk rather than the floor (which I've been doing as well). Are you just worried about static? Since I wanted my stereo receiver on the floor, I went out and bought a $12 Target accent table and just used the table top as a buffer between the receiver and carpet.
I need to post some updated photos because my living room is now about 25% done.

You appear to have had some use out of the batarang.

Biggest reason I'd put my tower on my desk, if I could, is to get it away from the carpet. My carpet at least, is a portal to the dust dimension.
My tower won't fit on my desk sadly, so I just have a wood board under it to help in a tiny way to separate it from the carpet.

This is my current setup, but I'm thinking about upgrading my stand and maybe rearranging the living room. That's my excuse for not cleaning up the wires better.
What Sub/5.1 setup is that?

I have no idea how anyone can possibly stand using the PS 3D Display as a monitor. The color reproduction is awful, it has basically zero adjust-ability, and there are mirrors that are less reflective than that thing.

I was using two for a while, but recently ditched them both. I actually have one that's just in the box sitting in my closet. I honestly don't know why I thought they were a good idea at the time. Also, one of them just randomly blacks out for about three seconds from time to time. This is usually only mildly annoying until it completely screws you over in a game. I would not recommend them to anyone.
I can't seem to find a desk that's not the metal/glass L-desk that it seems a good amount of people use (including myself). I'm almost tempted to use something that is more designed to be a dining table. I don't want a thousand drawers or a huge hutch. Anyone have luck with this recently?
Name of those shelves? I've seen them a few times, just not sure what I'm searching for.

I purchased something along these lines...

The one I have automatically selects the Input that I have turned on so I don't have to manually change inputs depending on what I am using (PS3/Xbox/PC etc).
Wait, so if you have your PC left on all the time; does it switch when you turn on a PS3?

Leaning/ladder bookcase/shelf should cover all permutations.

I used an interior door with some 4x4 post for legs, connected together for stability with a 1x2. Stained it, and looks fine. Next time I'll go with an exterior door though. It was the only thing deep enough, and long enough that I could find that suited my needs/wants.

Cool deal. I won't feel as crazy using that table now if that's what I decide on doing.
If you have an IKEA nearby, check out the GALANT line. They're solidly built (by any standard, not just IKEA), looks nice, reasonably priced, and modular so you have tremendous amounts of flexibility in how you want your desk to look (L shape, round corners, etc.). Everyone I know who owns one, including myself, loves it.
Thanks guys. I know that my setup isn't as fancy as some here but I really like it and I think the dev consoles (GCs, Xbox and PS2) add something differente to it.

Love your TV.
Dude, I love those wall mounted shelves!
Yeah I want to know where to buy some of them. Like, now.
Congrats! How are you liking your LG? Have you had a chance to test your existing consoles on it? (I own one of the firm's 2012 TVs, but not a Google-equipped model.)

I wish I had an IKEA nearby. I just moved down to NW Louisiana and the nearest I'm seeing is a ten hour round trip. Thanks for the suggestion, though. Hopefully this can help anyone else looking for a better quality desk than some Walmart throw together. I ended up going with an Ergotron Workfit-D which converts from sitting to standing. I don't actually get it until today so I'll report back with any pains it causes. I'm worried that I'll have a lot of connection problems when it's at a standing position. Cable management is going to be key.

This is just my gaming room. My 360/PS3/Wii U are hooked up to my 55" TV in the living room.
This corner is really just to show the poster with the excitebike guy on top. One of the walls is my wife's for her crafting stuff. The 3-Drawer bin has some random controllers in it
There are 3 switchboxes, an A/B coax switcher, and 3 power strips hooking everything up at once. Systems on main shelf are: Wii, N64, PS2, Intellivision, NES, SNES, Sega Genesis/CD, Dreamcast.
Systems here are: Virtual Boy, Atari 2600, XBox, Saturn, Gamecube, 3DO, Master System
On top is Model 1 Genesis/Sega CD/Power Base convertor, SMS model 2, and mini SNES. The rest is game boxes, some board games, misc large controllers, and the first 100 issues of Nintendo Power plus a few other random issues. Theres a Red Octane DDR pad tucked behind it.
The cubby for all of my controllers.
A general overview with the shelf with all of my old school games on it. Everything PS2 and newer is in my living room.

So I made a few slight adjustments and added some "bling"
The OUYA is there now, but where the OUYA and WiiU are now, the PS4 will go later on, and the top right gap where the 360 accessories are is where the One will go.
I've also decided to use my Black PS3 instead of the Silver one now, and ditto for my Black S 360 instead of the Halo 4 one, which are now packed away.
I've moved my Wii over with the retro consoles and pulled out my Saturn now too.

What's that chair? Need a new one with good back support

I'm definitely looking to get the Classic GT chair for myself in the near future. Hopefully, they will have a sale for these around the holidays. They look kickass!

This is my setup. I lie in bed and play games most of the time. I have another Xbox 360 and PC downstairs too, but this is where most of the magic happens. Rather than take a series of photos, I just took one big panorama for you to see.
I really REALLY love your set up. It looks so cozy.

I higly recommend this chair. I have had many chairs, and all of them have got me problems with my back. This one doesnt, you can adjust the backangle and sitt just way you like.

so awesome looking at all the setups in this thread! I just bought a house last week and we're still getting moved in, but once things settle down I'll have to get my setup put together and thrown on here!
Until you've used multiple monitors, one seems perfectly adequate.
Industrial Wire Shelves. Saves space by having the monitors directly above your hands, and allows you to neatly zip-tie all the cables to reduce clutter.

Using a single 1920x1080 screen feels super cramped to me, however using a single 2560x1440 screen is more than manageable.

I use dual monitors at work. While I agree from a productivity standpoint that it's so much better, from a gaming standpoint I only need a single monitor.
I'll have to post some pics soon of my humble gaming setup.
