I thought Tabris used to knock around here?

Hmmm anyways Tabris if you're reading, I assume you're still into your setups maybe? A blast from the past from the old Gamespot days! Would be nice to say hello after all these years!

Anyways...lovely setups guys n' gals! Might as well add mine into the equation.

It's been like this for just over 10 years, with a few additions here and there. I sort of fell out of love with Home Cinema a good few years ago, but this year I'm thinking of upgrading most of my kit (bar my Kef Refs/JL Audio Subs) and having a major redeco in the gaf.

Regardless, hope it's up to Neo's standards!

The small office setup when I'm supposed to be working... (semi-retired now so might not be getting as much use as it did. :/ )

So ummm...yea, maybe expect a few updates and cheers for looking!

All my pics can be seen on my gallery over on BluRay.com here:

I remember you! You posted on blu-ray.com too a while back didn't you!? Good to see everything has remained clean in your crib!

 

[Brandson]

I like your stuff. I think we could be friends.

Why just 1 joystick on that Vewlix though?

 

[kaioshade]

And now, im not even going to post my garbage ass setup.

Kind of depressing i will never have the means to do some of what other members have here.

Some really good stuff though. A man can dream.

 

[One Eyed Willy]

I wish I could buy something like this. I've been looking for this style of cabinet for awhile for my game room. I see that you custom built this, but do you or does anyone else here know where I can find something similar already built?

C'mon guys, this isn't a pissing contest.

From a gamecube in a dungeon to top of the line furniture, anything and everything is welcomed here. Happiness is found when you stop comparing yourself to other people.

You know what I'd love? A "gaming setup advice and tips" thread. What shelves to buy, decor tips, making wiring less ugly, etc.

If that's this thread, then let me know. But it seems to be more for show n tell

Closest thing.

[nycgamer4ever]

Some beautiful setups in here. I've taken pictures the last couple of years but never posted. But this year I had a some new additions so I will finally post later on.

 

[wildmike85]

Beautiful set ups, fellas.

I'll post mine once I manage some of these cables. It's a lot of work.

 

[HvySky]

One of my favorite threads on GAF. Interior design and decorating has become something of a passion for me over the last few years, moving beyond traditional drawing, art, etc. Once I move in a few months I hope to have the perfect setup that I'll post up here. Great work on your layouts!

 

[MikeBison]

At the top right of a thread you'll find the "Subscribe" button. The rest should be self-explanatory. You can view your subscriptions then via the appropriate button on the top left of the page.

Should mention I'm on mobile. But thanks for the advice!

On Mobile, it's under the "Tools" button on the bottom right of a page.

I jest. Amazing pad, and some awesome cars mate.

Cheers aggie!

Gorgeous kitchen, would I be far off if I were to guess you work in interior design and construction?

Thanks again mate, though unfortunately you're way off the mark lol. I do enjoy interior design though. Would love to have that as a business!

@GeordieMark lol! Cheers Mark!

 

[Resseh]

My gaming room is really difficult to photograph as the walls and ceiling are black.

 

[BLAUcopter]

Mine looks like Doc Brown just sent someone back to 1985 with modern gaming consoles...

Great Scott!!

 

[Milly Osworth]

No sportscars? Put in some effort man!

 

[ThereIs0nly0ne]

Theresonlyone, I love your custom arcades. I've see it several times on other boards and via searches, really slick setup. It would be cool if you could display the special moves.

Thank you - I'm currently compiling various artwork for the topper and looking into moveslist as well although I'm not having too much luck for some of the games. I'll likely have a crack at making my own if I can't find anything suitable.

i love this

Thanks for that.

I like your stuff. I think we could be friends.

Why just 1 joystick on that Vewlix though?

Thank you. I originally designed it as a 'slim' version due to space constraints. There isn't enough width on the panel to make a two player version unfortunately. I do sometimes wish I'd gone the whole hog and made a full size version and may do that in the future once I've got some current projects completed.

I wish I could buy something like this. I've been looking for this style of cabinet for awhile for my game room. I see that you custom built this, but do you or does anyone else here know where I can find something similar already built?

There are a couple of places I know of. There's the Kraylix:

And another in Australia which was based on my design:

You win an internet. I have no words. I also have Kuro, and I don't want to move on. It's too good.

Gorgeous home and an excellent setup. I love the modern design. Enjoy!

 

[Linius]

So many great set-ups already and it's only february! Hopefully I can post mine before the summer. By then I should have a new TV and recordplayer to finally finish my whole audio/video switcheroo.

Ah I remember seeing this flat years ago when it was posted on some other forum, really awesome. Nice to see how it's been evolving since, VR and all that.

 

[Xion86]

TFGB, I just have no words, that's absolutely stunning. Random question, but I notice you have a SkyQ Mini in the bedroom, where have you hidden the main SkyQ Silver box (from the UK here too)

Anyway, your hard work has really paid off! Very inspiring indeed.

 

[dickroach]

my setup puts all others to shame.

55" Insignia Roku TV
Shovel Knight Amiibo \ Wii U \ PS3
PS4 \ PSVR
XB1S \ Steam Link
not pictured: cheap futon that I sit on, New 3DS, Vita Slim, and a few dozen physical games

Cheers again guys!!

@Xion86 the Sky Q Silver is hidden in the front room inside the grey cabinet that the TV stands on. I've got it controlled by IR blasters with the Harmony remote. Thanks for the comment!

 

[[NaK]]

Do you live with your grandma? That wallpaper!

I bought the apartment from an old lady who moved into an retirement home.
The place hasn't changed since 1961.

Been renovating one room at a time since. This room is next.

Ah nice one (you get to hide the annoying blue light too I've covered it with small black cardboard haha). Never tried a Harmony remote, would get one but worried it will just confuse my parents, they are used to the one controller to turn the TV/AV on and the other for SkyQ (use the non touch one). Maybe when I get my own place I'll try it out (on the hunt). I'll have to post the living room setup here.

Are those bias lights behind the tv? I want some but I want ones that are not the most expensive and work well.

 

[Tarin02543]

Very nice. I've recently discovered the joy of arcade stick, here is my humble set up:

Ikea DIODER has you covered.

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60192355/
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50192365/

Easy as hell to install and works like a charm. Google image search on 'Ikea dioder ideas' and see the stuff people do with these.

I've personally always had Philips Ambilight TV's ever since first seeing them years ago. I love the dynamic ambient lighting.

I've been smashing this lately, although it's in the house now, no longer in the shed.

Nice. I wish I could have a projector setup.

 

[Coolsambob]

Get ready to feel ashamed of your words and deeds and set ups.

Would take a photo of the room holding my projector/PC/older consoles, but it's too messy to actually get in to.

That picture looks insanely good for a projector.

Agree. What model is that?

 

[Beerman462]

Still unpacking and moving in, but the game loft is set up. Right now it's just my PC/Vive and sometimes I plug the NES Classic in to my right monitor. There is room behind the monitors for a PS4 if I ever find a reason to plug it in again.

Comfy PC gaming engaged.

 

[yamo]

That picture looks insanely good for a projector.

.

Agree. What model is that?

Take two photos of your room, one shot in the dark and one in daylight. Then crop the screen picture from the dark shot to the daylight shot and almost any projector picture will look good.

Spoiler

If that is actually the picture quality in that bright room than i'm impressed and want to know the model as well.

 

[Brokun]

Brb becoming millionaire, will post later.

 

[Godan]

So not really sure where abouts on gaf i would ask this but guess it could be in here.

I am basicly looking for a corner desk as i am moving rooms in my house. I currently use the Malm Desk from Ikea so something a bit bigger than that would be great if anyone know of places to look in the UK. Ikea's choice for corner desks kinda suck it seems.

 

[Paragon]

It's clearly edited. You can't get that sort of contrast from a projector in a bright room - not even with those high contrast black screens they sell for too much money.
It's possible to achieve pretty good contrast with a projector if you're in a dark room with proper wall treatments though; i.e. black velvet covering all the walls to reduce reflections.
I used to have a setup like that and it was amazing. When the lights went out, it seemed as though the picture was floating in an empty void. You couldn't tell the dimensions of the room you were in.

You'll never get the same sort of contrast from a projector as a direct-view display even in a perfectly treated room though - especially not now that OLED is here.
But I do miss the size of a projector, and have been considering one for my new place again. Even LG's 77" OLED just doesn't have the impact of a 12' image.

Anyways...lovely setups guys n' gals! Might as well add mine into the equation.

Ah I remember this setup back when you were building it. Crazy to think that it's been 10 years now.
Looks amazing, but I could never have a living room like that. I just cannot get immersed in a game/movie in a bright room, even when the lights are out.

What ps4 theme is that ?
