Hi Cortana
Really impressive! Did you plan it all yourself?

Just moved! Really happy with the new setup, considering I barely had any space at my last place. Unfortunately most of my games/collectibles didn't come with me when I moved states, but ah well.

Here's mine. Highlights include a PS4, Xbone (and their last-gen counterparts), WiiU, and a decent PC (i5-3570k + GTX 780) all hooked up to a 4K LG TV. Currently replaying Bioshock Infinite but in 4K and it's pretty awesome.
It's getting there. I'd love my own place where I could have all this on a nice unit or something, but for now this suits me pretty well.

Why's that?

Because it's inevitably going to scratch the shit out of the console? I suppose some people don't care about that kind of stuff. It would drive me nuts. I've managed to keep my PS4's glossy panel 100% scratch free by just not having shit all over it, and I'd like to keep it that way.
I'm with you. My consoles (all my devices/belongings, really) are treated like royalty and I like to keep them pristine whenever it's possible. The combination of stacked, heat-producing consoles, one of which is hanging off the side, and a fan, just drives the OCD inside of me nuts.
Different strokes for different folks, though.
That's a nice blue and black PS3 you got there.

My room has new seats and the tech room has a new minibar with own decor, a blu-ray shelf and an updated gaming PC.
Behind the pedestal there's also a hidden wheel stand Pro V2 with a Logitech G27 which only comes out when I like to race (waiting for Project Cars!).
Niiiiiiiccceeee!!!!

Just for information: The wall colour looks brighter than it actually is because of the long exposure. It's about 50% gray. You can see the it nearly on one photo from the tech room. It's the same gray.

Goemon, if you don't me asking but how much did that cost overall to be done? I'd imagine it's not that expensive as it seems if you know the right DIY tools and things right?

As you can imagine, it wasn't a cheap project. I can't tell you the overall costs. But I'm not a rich man and I did everything by myself so it wasn't too expansive. But we build a house right next to the old garage where the home cinema is build into and therefore it was just the right time to do this project in terms of finance. Otherwise I wouldn't have made it.

Well, that's fairly amazing. Nicely done!
I'm assuming you are an experienced electrician and builder to be able to do all that?
I'm about to close on my first home and would love to DIY something like that, but I'm guessing that's not something you can learn just from some books and Youtube videos.

You totally can if you're focused and detail-oriented. It's not that complicated running power and wiring for home theater. Even LESS complicated when you're doing it before finishing a room and have complete access before drywall and all that stuff goes up. I DIY'd my entire setup at my old place and ran every possible combination of wiring I could think of in tons of different combinations. Speaker-wire, HDMI, alternate power outlets in the ceiling (that I never used but had in place in case I ever DID want to). Really paid off when we sold the place and could point out how versatile the room was.
It's when you want to retroactively run all that stuff that the difficulty and frustration ramps up significantly and you're better off hiring a professional.
Ah thats great to hear. I will have to start reading up. Thanks!

No, I'm not. I had help with the electrician that's it. The rest is just hobby.

Like a normal living room with a 50inch Panasonic TV, 5.0 Heco/Yamaha Sound System, Blu-ray player, Fire TV and second cable sets (and WiiU AC adapter + sensorbar) for the consoles so that I can connect my PS4 or WiiU easily to the TV in the living room when I want to.

The living room. Nothing special here compared to the cinema. The other side is messy at the moment...

SicSemperTyrannis is that baseboard heater active?
If yes, that kinda stuff makes me nervous.
If no, why not tear that shit out ;P
Just looks off to me, I think I would have moved it up the wall rather than build around it. Awesome setup aside from that nit-pick though

It is active, but it is about a foot of baseboard heat along that front side. I don't know why that would make you anxious, I also have my couch in front of the baseboard >.< I don't know many houses with all of the baseboard heat exposed 100% The main reason I decided to notch out the left side of the cabinet like that is so the entire cabinet would otherwise be completely symmetrical which is a pet peeve I have. It also doesn't bother me because I left space for limited air movement along the cabinet and I also don't have any electronics in that section, so I'm not worried it will be too hot.

What's the over all consensus on soundbars? Are they suitable replacements for a 2.1 pc speaker set up?

I have 2.1 speakers on my PC and a 2.1 soundbar on my TV, soundbar is by far better.
