Entrance to game room

The suspense is killing me!!

EDIT: Made before next post. Very nice set-up, too. I want something like this, a lot.

 

[StanTheCaddy]

thanks man, main reason for building a house was to have a dedicated theater room. every house we looked at on the market didnt fit the bill

[StanTheCaddy]

nice wall color

 

[StanTheCaddy]

Close to finishing a media storage rack, just need to get some backing and paint it black.

threw my nes collection on there to see how many games it would hold. should hold the entire north american collection in boxes if i ever get around to finishing it

 

[dmann]

^^ Wow thats an impressive home theater room. How big is that screen?

[mr_nexus]

This is very temporary.

 

[Mojovonio]

Stan, how big is your basement?

I'll be wanting to build a raised level for a HT setup as well when I get a house.

 

[MaizeRage25]

This is very temporary.

The 360 does not look happy.

 

[StanTheCaddy]

~25X15, its a little wider in the back due to the stairs coming down in the front half of the room

@Stan, that isn't the entire Usa collection, and i know that

I will show you a peek of my gaming corner 6 months ago, when i had 780 Usa nes games in box, notice that the nes games aren't very visable, and that my zelda etc collection the center of attention is.

One day i will finish the room, i have collected in the last months so many stuff that i have to build 5 new closeths

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

Whoa. That's hardcore.

Holy hand grenade, that's insanity.

 

[rollingstart]

wow, Duo014 has an awesome setup.


also, semi random question, but was is a good cheap component switch box type thing?

 

[MThanded]

Holy crap. You are packing.

 

[Duo014]

wow, Duo014 has an awesome setup.

I have a big collection but my setup is rather small and uchm just compact..
I will take a webcampicture of it now if you would like

 

[BobFromPikeCreek]

I feel so poor right now.

 

[womfalcs3]

This is very temporary.

I have my HDTV/systems setup in the closet too. :lol

My clothes are hanging over the TV, but I have enough room for heat transfer.

[test_account]

He didnt say it was the entire US NES library, only that the shelfs would fit all
Nice collection btw, do you have more pictures of the Mega Man stuff?

 

[Doodis]

Wow and why.

 

[Gary Whitta]

#1615 for the win, this out-virgins the 40-year-old virgin!

She learned me what system shock 2 is and so on..



gaming setup

 

[elseanio]

some awesome set ups in this thread!

still decorating, (needs painting etc) but i've set everything up for now. sorry for bad camera phone pics!

66" silver screen with a panasonic 720p/1080i projector. 26" bravia on the tv unit in the corner

screen

tv and console etc

coffee table with glass top. i put some pictures under the glass

 

[StanTheCaddy]

damn man thats impressive. scary, but impressive. im debating on selling them because completing the collection will be insalnely hard now. im not really willing to spend $250+ on an NES game (ok ...id do it, but my wife wont let me). i have literally scoured the entire midwest for boxed nintendo games and i think ive hit every flea market and garage sale to no avail. i cant buy ebay lots anymore cause i have 70% of the games in the lot, so buying single games is expensive and not worth it. carts are easy to find, but complete games in good shape are nigh impossible

wait your sound system has 2 subwoofers?

yes each tower has a 12 inch powered woofer in it. two 12 inch subs effectivly

 

[Kadey]

Ace Combat what?

And if we were to turn this into a collection thread, yarp yarp.

I know what you mean, I think i will sell my collection one day too, actually last week i said i would stop... Then later on the day a store in my country called me that i've won a full size lara croft -_-

i'm currently redecorating my main gaming area and was wandering what was the best color to have behind my tv on the wall so it doesn't detract from the image on the screen
?

 

[StanTheCaddy]

darker colors would give you more contrast. also you can get floor "flood" lamps and dim them so there is a soft light coming from behind your tv, eases the strain on your eyes while watching

I'm thinking a dark choclate suede, I'm looking to get a phillips aurea when they come out, my friend has an ambilight and they look great so hopefully it should go well with the suede.

 

[Kadey]

No I don't but I must do it for my team. Speaking of which, September is going to be a pretty huge month. And oh yeah, Nintendo hasn't officially announced it but a Famicom based Wii and DS are coming. You heard it from me first.

 

[Kadey]

White is always the best to go. You could make it so it looks marble-ish.

 

[StanTheCaddy]

white is definatly not the best to go in any room with a tv. reflection of the paint in a dark environment kills the contrast. go with a matte finish paint dark chocolate would look good, depending on your furniture of course.

just having my ceiling white degrades the picture in my theater, im just worried about resale on a house with an all black ceiling. granted id include the theater when i sold it

Wow... What is your average yearly total for money spent on games or game related items?

 

[Femmeworth]

[Kadey]

I see what you're saying. But if he plans on making it all neon-ish, no color is better or lack of and wouldn't matter actually. For example.

 

[GamePnoy74]

I want a new entertainment center...thing is, the one I want is like $700, which I can't afford to spend on right now =P

My current setup in my living room is kind of a mess (or, more like a ghetto rig).

 

[tehbear]

lol you are clearly missing monitors for when you look upwards / backwards on your plane...

 

[Duo014]

sadly, to much, that's why i have made a limit these days, only 250$ a month now

now that i'm almost 19 i think it's time for the real life you know

Damn, how do you have so much money?

A true pilot never looks up or back. Thats why we get killed all the time in movies.





Hint: My actual personal setup is in the last page.

 

[sado]

Not the best setup in the world but the best I have at the moment -

http://www.aggravatedgamers.com/setup.JPG

AK and glock added for dramatic effect (not really, ak just got cleaned and is airing out)

My camera blows.
