I got one free at the 2007 NY Toy Fair, took it apart once and never got it back together again. :lol
 
Picked up a new (old) coffee table off craigslist last night. I'd been looking for something to go with the rest of the living room better, and this one looked badass and was only $35. It had been painted with some "faux wood" stuff, so I spent the day stripping it back down to the original formica top and polishing it some, here is the end result.

The formica veneer under the paint was still in awesome condition for a table from 1958 (dated on the bottom), but it doesn't match our other stuff too well so i'm probaly going to redo the veneer in the future. I still have to make new leg caps for it too since the originals are missing.

Could not resist this sale, especially after trying out the demo tonight. Hurray for good games with cheap prices!

My latest pick-up -

HTPC (it's the thing that is just a little bigger than the wii remote on top of it)-

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/Robobandit/htpc.jpg[IMG]

moved my big computer back into my room to sit at my desk, still wanted a machine to watch hd movies and tv shows on in the living room.. bought an nvidia ion motherboard (single core atom @ 1.6ghz) and built it into the smallest case I could find.

Here's my other pick-up for the month - a professional calibration for my Kuro (courtesy of D-Nice @ AVS)

Can you post what hardware you built that media box from? I'm looking to build one sometime soon so it would be nice to get some sort of idea.

Edit: Apparently there is a whole thread on this.

The Lack is nice, but sadly cannot hold my TV as it is past the weight limit on it by about 60 pounds. I am still happy with my purchase though, and it even has cabinets which are GREAT for putting hist in like games and cables. Still man, nice setup!

How big is a TV that's 60 pounds over the weight limit of that TV stand???

Finally took the plunge. This along with $2000+ in car repairs means I'm not going to make any other big purchases for a while.

Goes well with my 60gb PS3 (Purchased in Oct. 2008. Upgraded to 500gb.)

Pic please? :)
Well, I am still building the gaming hub, but here are 2 shitty shots from before it was degaussed.

Even still, the picture is jut gorgeous. It too me YEARS to find a set to fit my needs, which were no game lag, the best blacks, good geometry, and THE ABILITY TO FUCKING PLAY DUCKHUNT. This is a Sony KD-34XBR970 34, and it is the kind of thing that if ever wonky, I would pay to have fixed instead of replacing it. Everything from NES, to Wii, to my 360 looks amazing.

Best fucking HD set I could have asked for.

AND I GOT IT FOR ONLY 200 FUCKING DOLLARS WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY!
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Sweet deal. I wish I still had a CRT like that. The blacks were soooooo amazing on the one I had before.
I traded it out for a bigger LCD though :/
Where did you get it from?

Some guy who needed it gone NOW. Basically a stroke of nothing but sheer luck.
As for screen size, it is just what I need, big but not TOO big. There is STILL a market for CRTs dammit, take note manufacturers!

But hey, at least it helps balance it out huh?

Holy shit, ten Wiis?
Wow.... I take it back. haha
I still want your TV though :p
It does sound pretty perfect. The CRT that I had before was 27". My LCD is a 32" Sanyo, and I want one that's a little bigger. 34" sounds perfect to me. Great size. Not too big, not too small. Guess I gotta keep looking for deals...

Check your local Craigslist for CRT HDTVs. You never know!

Just hope there's nobody to scam me if I do find one...
Well it is not like they will take the money and then run back off with the set. Thing's too damn heavy!

Well, I had no room in the Escort, so I had to use my Mom's buick for transport. Me, my friend, my pops, and the seller and his dad quickly shoved it in. Then me and my pops took it out solo. It is still on the garage floor for now, but when the room's done, I am getting a dolly and carefully rolling it in and afterwards degauss it yet again if necessary due to the move.

It could barely hit in the back seat. I still don't know how we pulled it off...

I need a truck. :D

Oh, may I add that it was raining that day too? Covered the thing in oil drum liners so it would not get wet. Made it harder to get a grip on.

Damn, haha. Sounds like the only good luck you had was with that TV! Even delivering it sounds like a pain. haha
Nice avatar btw.

Sony STR-DG820 Amp for my PS3 & 360 from eBay. Last pickup for a while, this thing has more sockets on the back than my pc! Great replacement for my old amp which was some ancient surround sound kit by JVC. The only problem is its too big for my entertainment center at the moment so it lives on top, just under the projector screen :lol

Console/PC games. Banjo was $9 at Target. I picked two up and traded the second one (along with two other things I had) at Gamestop and got Fight Night straight-up. Target also had Prince of Persia for $15. I wanted the PC version though so I went and exchanged it at Wal*Mart. They didn't have PoP for PC so I went with Prototype.

A bunch of DS games picked up on the cheap recently. Most were from the Gamestop buy 2/get 1 used game sale.
