Just moved together with my girlfriend into a new flat and as you can see, her favorite color is white.
So I had to wrap my dark apple Jamos with white high gloss film, which turned out pretty good.
Cable management is not present yet and my other consoles are still in boxes.

Where can I find a similar stand? I just bought a 60" Sony and I need something like that. I really don't want to mount it. I also have a gaming PC that's going to stay in the living room and need something to put it on. I don't think a floating shelf would hold it so this would be perfect.

edit: Nevermind guys. Found some at Ikea

I've just updated and changed my system but now I'm afraid to post photos because I have a Denon receiver too.

I just got some Monitor Audio BX2s for the fronts and they replaced a pair of Wharfedale 9.1. They sound fantastic so far; bigger and bolder, but more controlled.

 

[iALX]

Post it , they are jealous of Denons good looks hahahah

 

[Justin Thomas]

So I made my account just to post in this thread. Sorry about the image quality, it was taken with an iPhone. I know the lighting is crap, its a basement.


So here is my chesterfield and "desk"

And my view from the "desk"

My music table

And finally my bar. Which of course is only stocked with the essentials, whiskey and red bull.

 

[Tabris]

Holy shit at that Denon post. I like my Denon receiver too but I think we got the gist after a couple pictures of it

 

[VanWinkle]

Hahahaha that Denon post was hilarious. I kept thinking I had to reach the end of this post at some point and it just kept going and going.

Literally his whole post could have been shortened to this:

 

[iALX]

and with those two pics you wouldn't see the Denon receiver how it's meant to be seen

will post more pics later

I loved looking through this thread the past week. It's given me so many great ideas. I decided to do my front room as dedicated gaming room and just picked out the furniture for it.

Now I am trying to decide between a 42" and 46" tv

 

[Badlucktroll]

If anyone wants a 4k TV, they are starting to come out cheaper than regular 1080p TVs. Check out this Sceptre (Which is made by Sony).

Cleaned up my space a bit over Easter, here's my current set-up

WiiU and work PC to the right there, Gaming PC snuggled underneath

Signed picture of Derren Brown watches over me

Handhelds and WiiU games sit behind me for convenience

Not as glamorous as some setups in here, but I get by.

 

[SOME-MIST]

that's pretty much what I spend my time on other than the computer a little bit. I also have a sony pvm 14" in the living room and an nec xm29 stored in the closet, but not really pic-worthy.

 

[mstevens]

In the market for a really nice computer / desk chair. Willing to spend around $700 (even up to $900ish if it's really worth it). Looking at Herman miller.


Any input or advice?

Wait until the next Herman Miller semi-annual sale (Summer) and get an Embody.

Lots of good info here. I settled on the Steelcase Gesture.

I love my chair (you can see it in OP). Herman Miller Aeron Chair. You want to make sure to get the mid model at least with the lumbar support pad, and adjustable arms.

It'll cost you between $700 and $1000

EDIT: Nothing

Set up a dedicated DDR/StepMania corner separate from the main gaming setup.

Really nice work. I have wanted to make a desk like that myself.

My Custom Built 2-Person Office / Computer / Music Room

Start with the plans
Decided to paint the cabinets white. Here they are inserted into the office.

Nice shot of the wood finish.

This is impressive craftsmanship. It's very cool that you were able to use your grandfather's lumber to such good effect. It's a nice legacy for him.

I moved in with my girlfriend and I'm a 80's type of aesthetic dude so my lair reflects that. I'm more into older games these days. Nothing against new games I just don't play online have other priorities/hobbies. I ain't ballin like some of the setups in here and my camera is shitty so sorry for that. I get most of the stuff from estate sales, thrift shops, meeting old dudes off craigslist in parking lots, ebay, and friends.

The primary gaming setup is just an old 5.1 Technics (sorry not a Denon) receiver, Panasonic plasma, PSTriple, my PC, those big Kenwood speakers I got cheap from a craigslist dude in a Home Depot parking lot, the boombox is the center channel and is a beast in its own right, then there is two smaller yamaha speakers behind the couch. Speaking of couch I really need a new one but I'm still settling in. Planning on buying a PS4 but wanted to wait until I was done with Yakuza 4 and 5.

The oldschool setup is your typical PVM with the audio going out to an awesome Sony FH-5 compact stereo system. MAME is running off an old ass Goodwill Thinkpad I got for $15 bucks! It's hidden in the drawer, a Centrino with an old discrete AMD card in there so can get 15khz out of it easy. I also hook up my PS2, Saturn, SNES, and Sega CDX to the PVM. I keep all my games and stuff shoved into a closet.

The shelving for the shrine is from IKEA and same with the accent lighting. Cord management isn't my forte so I'll probably just keep adding stuff to the room until nobody cares about the cords cause there will be too much shit to look at. I collect and try to fix old boomboxes so I have a lot more around the house but wanted to get some of my nicer ones for display.

My couch is a piece of shit don't look at it.

Thanks for viewing.

Yo, I love you Boom Boxes and I have that same Phil Collins album framed in my living room with Michael Jackson, The Clash, The Beetles, LL Cool J and the Chipmunks Christmas LP (sentimental value).

Very nice set up. I need to make some time to post mine at some point.

what size tv is that and how many feet is it from the tv to your couch? Trying to get some ideas on tv size.

 

[sir_kevith]

The TV is actually slightly too small at 47 inches and came from my old place where it was perfect. I'd say I sit about 7-8 feet away depending on if my couch is sliding around. Ideally I'd get 55 inch and move the couch back just a bit.

Thanks man, I approve of all that vinyl in your house. My dad even bought us that Chipmunks LP back then so I understand the sentiment completely.

If you like boomboxes I recommend the JVC RC-M70 as probably the best all around box that I've used (I own about 25). It's the one acting as the center channel and the one painted in Miami Vice style. It's really loud and punchy and pretty common for an 80s box so it's an easy recommendation.

Awful quality photographs. Sorry about that.

Not much has changed from my entry last year but for the addition of a receiver and speaker set (Pioneer HTP-073) and a PS4. But the best addition for sure is some prints I got of Michael Whelan's art - one from eBay, as it is out of print, but the rest directly from his own site.

Don't ask me what the hell is up with the cardboard in front of the fireplace. One of the lads put that up for some reason.

Hideous purple couch put there by the landlord to replace the broken one unfortunately still present and accounted for.

Desktop with my awesome DXRacer D Series chair. Expensive but so worth it.

This is hanging on the wall next to my desk.

My Amiga and C64 setup Mayhem in Monsterland (C64) is playing on the screen.

Set up a dedicated DDR/StepMania corner separate from the main gaming setup.

As a looong time player of DDR/ITG/Stepmania, I really dig this. Would love to have room for a setup at home, to have the money to import a metal pad would be ace too.

Cheers! Really happy with it. I sent he and his wife (who handles the printing) an email after I got the first print telling them how much I loved it and how I've been a fan of his art for years, that I rented The Art of Michael Whelan over and over from the library for years, how his art got me onto my favourite author and so on. They replied saying my email cheered them up, so they waived shipping fees on my then latest order. Really nice people

That's the book I have which I thankfully found after my post. My brother found it in a box in the basement a few weeks ago and never told me until yesterday when he seen my post about it.
