I'm too much of a slob for this thread.

 

[AKingNamedPaul]

Cool looking, but why not use shelves?

 

[Yes Boss!]

Yay! New year.

I'll post my little gaming space when I get back home from the holidays.

 

[Marty Chinn]

Why do you have three 360s?

 

[clashfan]

Tabris where did you get your furniture?

 

[OnPoint]

Every year I don't post because my setup isn't "perfect" yet.

Fuck it. Later tonight, I'm posting.

Also, Tabris, I hate you. Your setup is incredible.

 

[Hakkuei]

Damn man, you got some serious tetris skills here !

Alternate thread title: I'm rich, let me show you that my setup is way better than besiktas' as he goes to bed masturbating in bitter tears...

 

[Quake1028]

26" 720p LCD mounted to my wall above my big TV. Perfect for crazy college football or basketball days. Best $15 I ever spent (mount).

Casablanca poster and the top of my extremely overfilled and super messy Blu-ray shelf. So bad I couldn't even take pics of it :lol .

42" 1080p Vizio, PS3, Dreamcast, GameCube, HD DVR, HD DVD Player.

PS3 Collection 1 (GTA4 is missing, brother has it.)

PS3 Collection 2

HD DVD Collection 1

HD DVD Collection 2

HD DVD Collection 3

HD DVD Collection 4

 

[Blablurn]

because i'm studying abroad my current gaming set up ist not that great. it just consists of one PSP Go, one 4th iPod Touch and an "okay" Laptop.

can't wait to return to my PS3 and HDTV next year :lol

 

[Quake1028]

BTW, it's been mentioned before, but some of you sit WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too far away from your TV's.

 

[Shuusui]

Haha, what do you people do for a living? <_< You guys look rich.

I think Tabris is notably cagey about what he does for a living. Speaking of Vancouver though, I might be PMing you, Tabris.... want to take a vacation to Vancouver for the fireworks this summer =)

 

[Tabris]

Tabris where did you get your furniture?

Combination of Ikea, The Brick and Sears. A lot (like the tv stand and table) don't seem to be available anymore. Anything specific you want to know?

I'm too much of a slob for this thread.

Post it up! Who cares if your place is a mess.

OP has an amazing view! Can you please take some pics at night and post them sometime?

Tabris, why do you own the vile SNES 2.0? That lacks support for S-Video or RGB output, hurr

Not much difference between S-Video and A/V Cables when outputted to an A/V receiver that's doing upscaling anyways. Unless there is? Do you have a sample image of SNES running on S-Video upscaled?

Don't want to sound like a douche but regarding the OP's setup, the PS3 looks really out of place on the table like that. Why not put it off to the side?

Where do you recommend I place it? I don't have room in my cabinet and it doesn't need to be down there as that's where my RF to IR sensors are and PS3 doesn't take IR. Like should I take it off the cabinet completely or place it just to the side on the cabinet?

BTW, it's been mentioned before, but some of you sit WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too far away from your TV's.

I need a 55" for optimal viewing but I spent $3000 on my current TV and want to get as much use out of it as I can. I don't actually mind it that much.

 

[MaizeRage25]

I think I might be ready to post by the time the 2012 thread goes up.

 

[lolez2matt]

My TV:

Are you kidding, right???

thats whats my 32" lg cost like 3 or 4 months here in Chile (now all have their price drop)

 

[alr1ght]

composite cables are awful. Here's the difference in clarity (taken on my cap card)

composite

s-video

much cleaner image.

 

[Salsa]

Are you kidding, right???

heh, i wasnt kidding

 

[Tabris]

much cleaner image.

Oh yeah I understand the difference traditionally. What I meant was won't SNES look like "ass" whether it's av cables or s-video? Can you tell the difference with SNES?

If so, I'll sell my current SNES and order an old style since I could get more money selling my current one.

 

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

Here in the Philippines they're still pretty expensive compared to the US, but they've dropped a lot in the past couple years.
You can get a Samsung or LG 32" here for about $400 USD.

Yeah, a lot of HDTV price drops as of late here. The Toshiba AV700E 32 inch LCD TV can be bought for 19,000 pesos (cash basis). Saw one in AV Surfer in Festival Mall, Alabang.

 

[Str0ngStyle]

And with that Tabris scared away anyone thinking about posting their own gaming setup :lol

You think that's bad ass? Wait til Regs or some of the all-stars from last year's thread show up. That shit will really make you cry

 

[60_gig_PS3]

2010 gaming setup

 

[RedAssedApe]

OP ruined the thread before it even got off the ground. :lol

 

[Ermac]

I'm waiting for the one guy who has the mother of all setups. I think his name was existor? or expansor? Something like that.

Going to post mine tomorrow.

 

[cwmartin]

I'll throw mine up once the christmas tree bounces out of the living room, if i remember that is.

 

[lolez2matt]

heh, i wasnt kidding

damm....

and i thought here they were expensive

 

[Moussi]

OP makes me jealous of the view not even the set up. :\

 

[X05]

Tabris, your setup is simply gorgeous!
Minimalistic, clean, no wires...

Spoiler

I also love the PS3 right in the middle!

:lol :lol :lol

damm....

and i thought here they were expensive

Over here, all the electronic stuff is pretty expensive.
The only time TVs were actually sensibly priced was after the World Cup ended, where along bank discounts and some places wanting to get rid of extra stock, you could get some decent deals (I got mine at that time, a Samsung UN40B6000 for about US$1300, when its retail price was about US$2200 before the WC started)

 

[Tylahedras]

Give me another 8 years and I'll beat the OP for gorgeous living... better make that 10.

Seriously though dude that's basically my wet dream you're living there. Would you mind answering how old you are? I'd like to know whether I've been utterly defeated or if I have time to catch up.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Where do you recommend I place it? I don't have room in my cabinet and it doesn't need to be down there as that's where my RF to IR sensors are and PS3 doesn't take IR. Like should I take it off the cabinet completely or place it just to the side on the cabinet?

Hmmm, even if you had room, I wouldn't place the PS3 in a closed off cabinet like that especially since you have an older model. Those things need breathing room. I think that's the problem with "IR hideaway" cabinets like that, the things that need lots of air don't benefit. Is that your only console also or where else do you keep the other ones?

And from my tastes, it's just the "loneliness" of the PS3 that kinda throws it off. Either nothing should be on that cabinet or a few other things should be.

Oh and truly awesome view of the mountains. That must be gorgeous to wake up to.

edit: really late edit but didn't see some of your other pics inside the cabinet. Now I see the other consoles and stuff. Maybe the best thing is to put the PS3 off to the side on the top.

 

[Spike]

Tabris, why do you own the vile SNES 2.0? That lacks support for S-Video or RGB output, hurr

I was surprised when I first hooked up my SNES 2.0 in that it looked better with the standard composite cables than my regular SNES on S-video.

 

[kiun]

Oh yeah I understand the difference traditionally. What I meant was won't SNES look like "ass" whether it's av cables or s-video? Can you tell the difference with SNES?

If so, I'll sell my current SNES and order an old style since I could get more money selling my current one.

Forget S-Video, RGB output is why you want a v1 SNES.

 

[FoxSpirit]

Yeah, RGB is awesome. And it's readily visible on a HDTV what connection you use with an SNES, all the bad of composite, now in glorious 50" fuzziness >.<

Also, all that glass is going to give any serious room acoustics test a heart attack :lol

 

[DonMigs85]

I was surprised when I first hooked up my SNES 2.0 in that it looked better with the standard composite cables than my regular SNES on S-video.

So maybe they improved the DAC output for composite but dropped S-Video as a compromise? Still, very stingy of Nintendo.

 

[Spike]

They did. And it is.

 

[Drkirby]

Yeah, I am packing up right now, about the only part of the floor or even my bed that doesn't have stuff laying on it is the couple of square feet where my chair is on.

 

[Smokey]

I love going back and looking at the older threads. Interesting to see how technology and such as changed!

 

[Vinterbird]

Where's Chittagong? He always brings some of the best interior design in these threads.

 

[vicissitudes]

Yay, I love these threads! Subscribed.

Nice job Tabris, your setup was always one of my favorites. I hope to see Chittagong post his this year though, he didn't post anything last year

 

[Plywood]

You don't get to post pics like the OP posted without telling everyone your job/career, it's only fair.

 

[Fuzzy]

I just added a link to this thread in the last thread so people with subscriptions can move over here.

 

[Hellraizah]

Where's Chittagong? He always brings some of the best interior design in these threads.

Probably having sex with all the chicks that are in total awe of his place.

 

[pj]

Pretty much the same as last year except I got a new mac mini.

Stuff:
46" Panasonic Viera G10
Ascend Acoustics Sierra-1 w/ NrT upgrade in the front
Ascend Acoustics CBM-170SE in the back
HSU VTF2-MK3 sub
Onkyo SR707 receiver
Rotel RB1070 stereo amp
Pioneer turntable
2010 mac mini
Can of Dr Pepper

 

[sn0zc0r3]

Nothing has changed much since last year. However I finally started amassing a surround sound setup.

Picked up an Onkyo 808 with two Polk Monitor 70's and a Polk CS2 center (the newegg sale was just too hard to pass up). Once I pay some bills and get a bit of expendable cash under my belt, I plan on getting a pair of Polk Monitor 40's to complete the setup.

 

[HighAmperage]

Posted earlier in the old thread...

Gear:
Mitsubishi HC1500 720p Projector
Optoma Panoview Greywolf 106" pulldown screen
Onkyo 606 receiver
Paradigm Mini Monitors in front, CC350 center channel, PDR10 sub, Titans in back. Have had these forever, still love 'em.
PS3/Wii/360
Mame cab
Messy wiring that I need to get organized

2011 Thread!

I'm finally gonna participate again. I've got my first apartment and I have a camera on hand... but I'm at my 'rents house right now, so I can't take pics. But I will!

That looks really cozy. Love the dim arcade lighting.
