Target. Was marked down from $120 to like $95 at the time and I like it even if I did put on the entire base upside down lol

No worries. I'm a senior project manager in security and I teach aerospace engineering part time. Thanks mate, I take time to think my spaces thoroughly.

Thanks guys. Yeah I guess your right it's kind of tacky and overkill..

I really like the sign but your decor wouldn't fit with it.

Yeah I agree here.
You kinda need a dedicated space for those kinds of signs.
Great room otherwise though.
That's my Unicorn case. Gorgeous.
Adding another single unit would create an additional "break" where you can see where the pieces are connected. Attaching another double and removing the single would not create a second "break" in the stand.

This, I wish I could find the model of that case.
There was a picture of you online.
Joking aside, I think your place is gorgeous. Very well laid out and designed. Good luck with your future penthouse/house.

I need a new audio receiver. Trying to choose between Sony STR-DH740 and Denon AVR-S500BT.
Any advice?

I'm sure I got more metal plating than him ;-)
Thanks, if people are interested, I might post the reconversion process in its own thread. I love construction.
Do it.
Lian Li PC-X900 and X1000. They aren't for sale anymore. I even contacted a Lian Li rep to check for any stock in EU and NA for me. Nothing.
Only way to get your hands on one is to score a used one.

My newest additions:
Went to Best Buy and found this TV stand for $99 by CorLiving.
Also at Best Buy, got this Sony Bravia 32'' for $330 (originally $699, but it was an open product).
My PS4, Vita, Xbox One and games to the left of the stand.
And my PS2 and PS3 to the right...
...with my horrible (and unsafe, probably) cable management.

Really wouldn't mind seeing some backs of units to see what sweet wizardry you've done with the wiring, etc. I like the nuts and bolts of things just as much as I do the shiny exterior.
With this unit I'm designing I'm trying to incorporate a switch/repeater-switch and a UPS. I'm currently just working on the basic stuff right now, but soon the design will evolve to incorporating channels for wires and all of that icing-on-top features that will make it truly nice. Wife wants a built-in look, but I'm trying to figure out how best to tackle the job of hiding and getting to the wiring easier.

Just thought I'd share my recent attempt to make my living room a little more presentable. It always bugged me that I had such nice stuff yet I just kind of tossed it all on the TV stand and let it go. So I spent the past two days doing cable management work, as well as getting new lamps, moving some stuff around, and minimizing what I have hooked up and plugged in.

What Mechanical KB is that?
http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/
Shadap, it's super functional. Minus not being able to see keys at night.
Which is why I have this thing:
^ Very cheap, helps a decent amount. Can use it as a cool backlight behind your monitor if you have it against a wall too.
Sorry for phone pics at night btw
Nice job, this looks great. Did you take a picture of the back of the unit too? I like seeing how people manage their wires.

Im using the Corsair K65 myself.
Great KB also, but its was all the colored Keys on yours that drew me to it.
Can you link your light source? I also hate not being able to see in the dark.

I'm so glad you did this. That tangle of cables made me shudder.

Thanks for the responses. It's nice having someone appreciate the effort. Everyone I know in real life is pretty 'meh' on it. They like the end result but couldn't care less about the process and the amount of time it took me.
I took a few more pics in slightly different light and touched them up a bit so it's a little easier to see. I also added a pic of behind the TV stand.
In case anyone is interested, I used these awesome cable raceways to hide the cables between the shelves and the TV stand
This is my surge protector, which folds up into a black box with a switch on the outside once everything is plugged in. It's a little bit of a pain if you use all eight outlets like I did but it still worked out.
Finally, I used one of these cable management boxes on each side of the surge protector and directly behind my audio receiver to coil up all the excess cables.
Very happy with how it all turned out.

Never mind the keyboard, I'm more interested in what's in the background. Stuff doesn't look like your typocal cheap kitsch porselain.
That's how it usually goes. People look weird at you when you tell them how much time it took you to get it to look that clean. Anyway it's just another of these "nerd" things. And it looks/feels so good from going from a total messy setup to that clean look (I would never want to go back).
I saw, you also removed the front cover of your center now
.Moved out of my man cave in the States to Hong Kong, so I left just about everything behind. Will be finding an apartment soon and will have to rebuild. Lots of work ahead!
Here's a video of my previous (now abandoned) man cave.

Yeah, it does look better but I'm not really sure what to do with the covers to keep them from getting cracked or broken. They're fragile things to store.
I guess you don't have the storage space, but I just put my covers into the boxes of my speakers in case I want to sell them at one point.
How's your gpu temps(idle/gaming load)?
You mean the furniture? It's like an arabic room, furniture was imported from Dubai by my parents. It's an interesting room. Mine for now

Yeah, I live in a small-to-medium sized apartment so I don't usually have the luxury of keeping boxes that size any longer than I have to. I'm sure I'll find a way to keep them safe.
Where did you get that information?
Imgur shows it on the image when viewed from their console.

I have the same case, I never wanted to run out of space again lol.
Damn it, I uploaded my photos on Directupload. I would like to know how many people saw my room.

Thanks for sharing. Hate that photobucket doesn't share that info and abload only shares totals (which is 120k and 59.97 GB usage since I started using it two months ago).
This thread has a post/view ratio of roughly 1:355. Gaffers room/homes seem to draw some attention.

I saw your room and LOVED it.
I really want my room to look like yours
Care to share where you bought your furniture ?
I don't know where you live but I think you won't find most of the stores. Table is DIY, mirror from IKEA, bed from Möbel Pfister, mattress from JYSK, cupboard from a store of a friend (got a special price there), the brand is Jutzler and you can customize it. TV rack, book rack & book shelves from Wohnpark Binzen.I saw your room and LOVED it.

Well, I'm on my fifth or sixth reading of the thread. I can only read the old ones so many times due to moved images.
I Still haven't gotten my desk presentable enough to share.

Yeah it's a problem...
Though i don't need the bed, mattress and mirror.
I could only find the TV stand here (still it doesn't have your black drawers) :

Shelves from Ikea:

Rack from Ikea too:

Most disappointing thing is that the table is "do it yourself", i think i should start from the legs from here:
http://www.gur-wood.co.il/the_page.asp?page_lang=he&page_id=108
I really think my table will be cornered though.. I have 2 PC's that i want on top of the table, 2 monitors and an all in one printer.. and room for my wacom tablet.
And i am going to mix a beanie bag next my office chair (colored black and white):
http://milega.buy2.co.il/o/8a44f272-1750-4ae8-b533-1d89a3ed6931
BTW - where did you got the leather cover for the table, the one you put you'r keyboard on ?
Any more tips for me?
Can you please write down the dimensions of you'r furniture? It will help A LOT.
Thanks again for everything!
