Thanks for the info. It's disappointing that it's discontinued. It's the best one I've seen in my opinion. Guess I'll keep searching.

Nice kegeratorHomebrew or commercial beer on tap?
Agreed. Beer on tap is the best.

Can't find the Cabinets/Stand on the IKEA site. I assume it's IKEA?

I like it. Setups like this are so much more cozy and inviting than a lot of setups I see in this thread, they have more character (no offense to those, they're just not for me is all).

Homebrew! Been brewing my own for quite a while. It's empty now, as I have been rebuilding my brewery with a heat controller and electric control panel!

A New PC and desk setup - nice little corner in the apartment dedicated for gaming
in peace
in peace
Some very nice setups here.
Been wanting to share mine but never got around to it, so here goes!
Couch and coffee table.
Computer corner. MBP (Work), Mac mini Quad i7 (Home/music), PC core 2 quad with GTX580 (Gaming). All hooked up to the KRK 2.1 set up and/or the onkyo 5.1 system through the patch bay and/or Mackie mixing desk.
PS4, PS3, Wii-U, Vita, GBA Micro, controllers et-al.
Sony VPL-HW55ES projector (needs fixing next year) running from an onkyo 5.1 receiver to a 92" motorised floor standing screen. When it's down the rather nice cast iron fire place can be seen.
Guitar and blu-ray corner (sneaky 360 controller hiding in there).
Picks for Rocksmith.
The electrics in my flat have been a bit dodgy since I moved in, so everything is hooked up to power conditioned uninterrupted power supplies. All those black and white panels on the walls are bass traps or acoustic panels which really help with the room acoustics.
I sometimes miss the makeshift Mame cabinet thing I built a few years ago, but I was faced with the choice of keeping that and the awful 2 seater couch or getting the much nicer couch that is in the photos. Comfort won out.

Yo bro whats the make and model on that sectional? Looks nice and I really don't like the Johnson furniture sectional i got last year
What model LG is that?
I think it was a DFS ripple, UK based company, no Idea if they have a presence in the US. It only just made it up the three very tight flights of stairs even though it's in three pieces.
floor standing electric screen? Make/Model? Never heard of that but it sounds like a great idea to save pissing about in your ceiling space.
It's a Sapphire screen. I believe they are made in the same factories as a lot of the other "Budget" screens if my prior visits to the AV forums are anything to go by. It's pretty heavy and not the most attractive thing, but my ceiling was too high for a regular ceiling screen, I would have had to build a shelf over the fireplace which I'm hesitant to do in a rented flat. It's pretty good though, I've been very happy with it this last year.
It's very similar to this video of one.
There are some companies that will do them in bespoke furniture.

iirc they were a little out of my budget. There was another company I found that did ones a lot nicer than the link above, but I cannot remember who they were, very pricey though.

LG 42LN5300 42" 1080p 60Hz LED
I bought it over the summer for dirt cheap at Walmart. It's been great for what I use it for. Only two HDMI inputs and only optical audio out, but I only have my PS4 and my Fire TV Stick plugged in.

info on this desk please?

Sorry Steal, i picked the desk up 6 years ago at a furniture studio - its not mainstream or produced in numbers
it was originally a dining table - but they were closing down, and i managed to get it for a very cheap 1k
Been happy with it all this time, i wanted something that looks professional for a desk

It's a nice looking desk, so is the keyboard and the PC!
This is so awesome.
I have that same tv. Do you mind sharing your settings for gaming with me?

Ignore the stuffed animals and books on the desk. The little one wanted to cuddle up for a bit
I have a 3 year old. I get it It really ties the room together.
I see what you did there. I approve.
Gaming set ups and Mondo posters just go hand in hand so nicely.

Put my little 125 square-foot arcade room in order. More of a check and organization since everything is going into storage for a couple years.

seen a few people with candy cabs, with myself at one time owning an atomiswave candy, but a vewlix?? damn, that's awesome.

I was thinking about getting a chair like yours, but I'm worried it won't be comfortable for long periods of sitting. How do you like it?

Most comfortable chair ive ever used, i dont like to feel like im sitting / leaning against pillows - its very good support
it also leans back, and can be locked upright if needed
Not sure how much they differ from place to place, quality may be a big factor
Oh, cool, I honestly wasn't expecting to hear that. I'll have to get one now. Which model do you have and/or where did you get it? I've seen lots of variations out there. Thanks!

Always go and sit in them first - and get a feel for the chair, never buy a chair on recommendations - everyone is different
i bought my chair from an Australian Furniture store (coco republic), its real leather / and the quality is outstanding, thus going strong after 6+ years
I paid 900.00 for it back then, your probably not in Australia though

I really like this setup. I agree not the fanciest but it works and has alot of character.
I just ordered this chair, I love orange and I needed a new chair. I will let you know if its any good.
Its being shipped from German so it could be from there.

First, I wanted to say all you guys have such beautiful setups. It's really inspiring and pushed me to keep working on mine. It's been a real process of changing things around several times. I am finally ready to show what it looks like so far. I hope you guys like it!

So many of these setups are AMAZING. Kudos to everyone who has put such effort into having a nice, relaxing, chill gaming environment. I aspire to have that again some day.
This is my current "transitioning into living in the Bay Area" chill coding/gaming corner. I share a room, so essentially this is my part of the room, with my bed next to my desk and a drawer across. PS4 is behind the TV, and Ni No Kuni special edition PS3 + WiiU are under the desk on top of a drawer thing.
And my most prized gaming possession, not seen in the picture:

How do some of you sit so far away from your TV's? I have to be basically right in front of my TV to game.
I've always wondered the same thing. Even when I have my contacts in, I need to be leaned like right into the tv. I can only lounge during RPGs, if I try at any other genre I do so bad. It's odd.

Those beers need to get chilled, man.
Don't think I've posted my whole setup this year so here it is. Sorry about a few bad pictures, only using an iPhone in poor lighting. Room is in a basement and I don't really like the overhead lights so it stays rather dark down here.
Here is my main setup
46" Samsung 120hz 3DTV
Harman-Kardon AVR-1710 driving my surround sound, speakers were all picked up a thrift stores or open-box. In fact most of this setup is either that or open-box from Best-Buy, some really good deals to be had. I have Boston HD8 and HD7's for the Front and Side Speakers along with a matching center speaker from Boston, the rears are a set of Polks I got cheap and the subwoofer is an older Harman-Kardon piece.
Sony BDP-S5100
Sony PS4
Microsoft Xbox One
Microsoft Xbox 360
The Gamecube isn't hooked up at the moment, kinda just leave it there as it looks weird with a hole there.
Here's a glance at my games as well.
I'm also a bit of a movie buff if this picture doesn't portray that, I do have pics of all the movies but I won't bore you all. You can see my sub in the picture as well, quite large but was essentially free as I got it at a yard sale for $10 with a matching receiver that I flipped for $150.
Finally, my retro corner, I have shown this in various states before but I recently got the Olympus OEV203 which is a rebranded 20" Sony PVM. I also am using an old Phillips 785 Receiver to drive stereo sound for the games. All the consoles are hooked up via RGB or component so I can get a picture like this.

Gaming PC corner, bit of a mess but I live here, not trying to make it look artificially clean for pictures.
