Wow... my gaming set up is a mess, though with the same image quality / enjoyment of games factor. Are you sure it's a good idea to visually admit your obscene levels of OCD?
Edit: What manner of axes are those? If that's an authentic Gibson, then my apologies. If it's an Epiphone, then LULZ!!!

If I remember correctly around 80,- each.

I think the curtains are nice and go well with the colors of the room, but they're too much when seen all together (like in the picture of the computer desk). It'd work better if the windows were smaller and spaced further apart.

The camera flash made them look brighter than they actually are, normally they're more "see-through". I like them anyway.

OCD in what way? I like colors a lot so I can't help having so many pictures, if that'S what you mean.
Nah, it's just a cheap knock-off, enough for jamming around a bit now and then. The one in the back is the RockBand-Guitar, thought i'ts hard to see on the picture.

I've finally got my new setup going and can post in this thread. What started out as a simple speaker upgrade turned into this huge ordeal because I needed new furniture to accomodate everything. So here goes....
Old Hardware Replaced:
Pioneer VSX-811 Receiver
Sony Speakers
New Hardware:
Pioneer Elite SC-07 Receiver
Toshiba HD-A2 HD-DVD Player
AV123 Speakers
Hardware that stayed the same:
Sony KF-50WE610 HDTV
DirecTV TiVo HR10-250
Sony 60 GB PlayStation 3
Sony PlayStation 2
Microsoft Xbox (used for XBMC)
Microsoft Xbox 360
Nintendo Wii
Here's pics of the old setup.
Here is the pile of cables that is left over as extra cables after I undid everything and hooked things up to the new receiver.
Here's the final result of the new stuff.
And for good measure, here's pics of my game room.
I still need to take pics of the cabinet that has all the consoles in it, and still need to get stuff from my parents place, but that's what I've got going so far.

The dvd shelf on the right, is that an Atlantic Oskar ?

I believe this is what I got except the black version of it:

It's about twice the price of the Atlantic shelves. Could I do it all over again, I probably would go with Atlantic. I'm actually thinking of buying another one since I'm running out of shelf space.

Heh, thanks. I really struggled over what I was going to do when I realized I needed to get a new TV stand and how things were going to work, but once I realized I could fit and move both DVD shelves to the one corner, before it was just the lamp and the single chair, it just all kind of came together that I was going to like the new layout.
I'm always amazed at the cost of furniture and surprisingly, the audio rack cost just as much as the TV stand. I'm mind blown how those two things cost the same amount of money. Audio racks are expensive for only god knows why.
I'm also still amazed at how many cables were left over after I hooked everything up. Given that this new receiver was way awesome, I was able to hook everything that had an HDMI port up to it so that all four were filled. Then I hooked the remaining up with component video so that all three were filled. But the HDMI really cut down the cable mess a lot. On top of that, I was able to remove my Audio Authority component switch box out of the equation which cut down on wires and since my receiver can convert any signal to HDMI output, I simply now have one cable going to the TV. So all that alone cut out a lot of the clutter. Then I realized I had a bunch of old outdated cables that I won't ever use again like s-video and composite video so I stripped all that out too. It's so much cleaner in the back now and I haven't gotten to cable organization yet. I love HDMI =)

It's a Tech-Craft SWP60. It comes in a couple different colors and can be had for as cheap as about $250 I think plus shipping. There was actually a door on the center that wasn't glass but a black mesh for the speaker. However I had to remove it as because there is a big frame behind the mesh that you don't see from the front and it blocked part of my center speaker. I actually kinda like it without the middle door more than with it on now. I just wish I had figured that out before I drilled a bit into the side to mount it.

I printed it myself, it's a hires-scan from an Amano-artbook I found on the net some time ago. My favorite picture of them all.

Finally finished the room!
I couldn't stand the cords everywhere so I have everything(Receiver, Computer, Playstation)
wired from the closet.
As a side note Resistance 2 sounds absolutely incredible in 7.1

I keep hearing things like that, but I think its more to do with the fact that games are the only thing they spend their money on
