What sort of units are you after? Argos have some shallow, as in 4"/10cm deep stuff ranging from cheap to stupidly expensive. I got some room dividers from Asda Direct which are just the width of a dvd/bluray case in last years clearance sale that work perfectly and just tacked on some spray painted some fibreboard on one side.

From there official merchstore
I shall take at look at their website thanks. I don't want anything massively expensive, just something that isn't too deep.

Add an Alienware X51 to the HT set-up and a Kinect to my 360. Now all I need a black Wii U to go in the bottom center to complete the awesomeness!
I was thinking about getting an inexpensive air filter ($50) on amazon. I don't know how effective it will be in the short term but I have to believe that after having it for a month or so and vacuuming several times to stir the pot, it would do a great job of clearing out a majority of the dust.
I'm okay with a little bit but when black electronics (static really makes it worse) or controllers start greying up from dust, it drives me crazy.

http://imgur.com gives you an option to choose medium or small sized images.
I moved into a new place, this is my current setup.
I'm not a big Star Wars fan but that blinged Stormtrooper is awesome.
That controller is really incredible. Could be tacky, but instead it's something even I would be proud to have in my house!

We had moved into our first home last year, and I've been slowly working on the basement since last May (It was not finished). The space is now useable so I guess I can show you guys what's up.

What is the color of the Besta where you store all your games ? Is it wood-brown ?

I'm American, and I've lived in 14 houses/apartments in my life. 12 of them have had wall to wall carpet in all but the kitchen and bathrooms.
Yes it happens a lot, but it's also very common to NOT have all that carpet.
Great stuff, Mattlikewhoa.

Thanks man, moving that thing is a nightmare, but it looks pretty cool with the gaming bling.

Nice !!!
How do you decide for which content you use the Plasma vs. the Projector?
Is that a marantz receiver?
Black-Brown is what it's called on the IKEA site.
Ok thanks ! They look really good on your pictures, and really bad on the website.
Will take a closer look next time I'm at an IKEA Store.

Remarkable setup.
How is the wire work behind the TV Stand. Is everything plugged in to power bars? What kind of switch are you using to change components?
Only complaint is that you need a bigger TV!

Me and my wife are looking at getting a new house this year and all this is doing is making the ideas for my game room explode.
I'm going to need like 4 rooms to use all the ideas I've gotten from this thread
These look awesome

What is that unit in the corner? It's so tiny and awesome (if it is an actual arcade machine)
Well, the wire work is fairly messy but I have everything organized to the best of my ability with velcro cable ties, all of the systems are plugged into 2 surge protectors.
The TV has the following inputs:
1 - Composite/Component - have a Joytech switch box hooked up via composite, this switch box has 7 different inputs and are all for my retro systems (NES, SNES, N64, CD-X, Saturn, Master System, Duo)
2 - Component - Xbox 360
3 - Component - Japanese PS2
4 - Component - Wii
5 - HDMI - PS3
6 - HDMI - WiiU
PC - Dreamcast via Blaze VGA Box
Definitely do need a bigger TV though! Hopefully by the end of the year, really eying a Panny 60". But money is a bit tight at the moment.
They are BESTA (product 801.021.32) - they are 72" tall, and there are 3 of them attached to each other.
The game systems are held in 2 of these shelves (product 201.021.54).
And of course I bought all the doors, door snaps, and the legs (for the TV stand).
There's a bit of a problem with ventilation for PS3/360 so I leave the doors open when I play. I just wanted things with doors on them because it makes dusting soooooo much easier.

@ Mattlikewhoa - what's the deal with those decals? They are amazing! Where did you get them?

Oh, besta. Ya those are nice in the grey, I don't think the BILLY stuff comes in grey. Good thinking stacking them. I'm so used to besta being lower as tv stands and not so much as bookshelves. Nice designing work.

Not much has changed with my setup. Everything is still in a tiny room in the basement.
All console gaming and music listening happens here.
Samsung 42 inch LCD TV. Old but still fine for gaming.
XBox 360
PS3
Hauppauge HDPVR Gaming Edition for the times I want to record my matches.
Street Fighter 4 Round 2 TE. Got 4 of them...2 for XBox, 2 for PS3.
The rest of the stuff is my audio gear.
This is the newest addition which isn't pictured above.
Hori LCD Monitor 3 HDMI version for the PS3. I have no idea why I bought this but it's cool to have.
Immediately to the right of the console setup is my gaming PC. I used to have it as a racing setup but have converted it to a fighting game setup. The pedals are still on the floor if I want to hookup the wheel and stick.
Here's a pic of the fighting game setup on the PC.
Sony Duo 11 Windows 8 ultrabook/tablet, MacBook Air 13 inch for surfacing the web and headphone listening, MacBook Air 11 inch for downloads.
Not pictured are the handhelds which are behind the Air. There's a Sony PSVita and a Nintendo 3DS XL.
Headphone setup.
Sennheiser HD800 headphones
Headroom Amp/DAC
Headroom powersupply
Finally, to the left of the console system are the hard drives. In the picture are 26 drives. There are 2 others below the MacBook Air. Currently have 54.5 TB of space. I really need to do something to make this a cleaner setup. The drives are getting out of control.
Just got this new addition today. Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 Premium VLX for XBox. Always wanted one but could never find a seller until recently. Thing is a beast.

It's a custom made arcade machine, a little smaller than what you might be used to.It rocks a 23 inch LCD monitor which is kewl, just need more space to actually play the thing.

Wow man, what are you using those drives for?

Did you make it yourself or buy it from somewhere? That thing is right up my alley, small and unobtrusive, and 2 player!
I want plans.
Some of these setups are amazing. Mine is pretty basic.
I love this. Might have to steal the idea.

I just did a pretty massive clean-up of my room. I think I'm ready to actually show it off. It's not great, but it's no longer completely shameful.
Soniq 50 (?) inch LCD
That white bar is a wireless Wii Sensor Bar. Below that you have a 360, a Wii U and an Atari Flashback unit on the ground. I can't see it staying there for long.
My controllers, handhelds, chargers and a few other accesories for the consoles I have out. I packed the PS1, PS2 and Wii away. Without seeing use, they were just taking up space. To the right, out of the picture, is my laptop. It's on its way out, so I'm replacing it in March.
My games collection. Left side drawers are all 360 games, bottom right is for DS and PSP, middle right is for Wii U, PS3, 3DS and Vita. Top right is for Wii and PC. The PS3 itself is a family unit, so it sits out in the main room, along with a lot of the games. I might get one of my own one day, but I doubt it.
I do so love my rhythm games. A few of the guitars are broken, however, so I should probably throw them out.

As promised I took some pictures today. We went to our first flat in late August last year after living in my GF's parents house alongside them for a few years. We wanted to get something special and we guess we got it 
It's a really great flat on the sixth and seventh floor. Neighborhood is quite nice as well.
Can't compete with chitta and tabris though it's quite nice
We do need some paintings aka pictures on some of the walls though. The Mastersword one is ace. I'd take this too
