That's really, really nice. Can't wait to have my own place(and a good job) to do something like this.

How are those Klipsch speakers that ur XBR is hooked up to? I've been giving them some thought recently but I haven't heard any impressions from anybody

Not a joke.

Worst set-up so far?

You should really, really paint that thing. It's not hard to do. Take the busted door off too...

...I dont know, I'm just trying to be helpful. :(
 
Seeing these setups (especially the giant ****ing televisions) makes me realize two things:

1. Now I know why you're pissed about the Wii's graphics, and why you probably notice little shit like "grass textures" and "great lighting."

2. I am woefully behind. I got a 32" flatscreen SDTV. Maybe I will get something that looks as nice as some of these some day.


I am thoroughly impressed with a lot of this, rich kids or not. I see great style, and I like it!

I found it on the side of the road :(

The busted door is so the cat (in picture 2) can get in. Although, it was busted when I found it.

No offence, but.. This is the first time I have laughed out loud at a GAF post for a while. :lol

It makes me happy to make people happy.

Sullichin said:
WTF? there's like bags of cocaine in that dresser :lol

Cat blanket. Though, as you can see, he sleeps on the couch anyway.

Also, I found the couches on the side of the road.

Here's a tip for anyone looking to get into games journalism: it's not very high paying.

What kinda job do you have man?
Work out the most popular restaurant where I live. It's in a pretty rich neighborhood too and pretty much everyone hits up this restaurant(Bone Fish Macs). MAD TIPS.
 
Oh well, just tell people it's antiqued then!

I finally redid my living room this year, family life, bills, a new car, etc, these things are not as cheap as I humbly request they should be.

It's not killer fancy, but I refuse to spend *that* much money on AV equipment. I got a 360, a new fairly nice stand, an HD set, and still my good ol' 5.1 setup.

I wish I could show mine, but I lost my cable for my camera and cant upload of of the shots to my PC. =/ In addition to this, I tried to order one off of monoprice thereafter, and once again, got the wrong one.

Yeah, I fail.

Don't mock.

I'm about to move out west and do not look forward to the expenses I'll have to endure. I may not buy a game all year! Though I do have Gamefly to keep me company...

In other words: if you just want to sit on your ass and play games (like me), adult responsibilities are lame.

BTW - I don't have a digital camera right now, but I'll draw a beautiful MS Paint representation of my new setup in the coming weeks. I know everyone is tickled pink with, um, the anticipation feather.

Actually they are JBL Northridge speakers. JBL has recently replaced them with a new line of speakers. ('Studio' series I think). I am admittedly not an audiophile but I got the entire 5.1 setup with a 12" sub and 3-way center for around 700 online and they are more than good enough for me.
 
Now I'm sort of confused. How do you define a gaming setup as good? By the size of the TV or the ammount/quality of videogames/consoles?

What makes you happy and suits your needs. I just like seeing how everyone has their stuff setup.

Well it is called a setup. The entire package is part of it.

Well, that about wraps this thread up. And that's a basement?

God knows you were cheesin' your ass off when you were uploading this pics to GAF:lol
 
Everyone's setups are great in different ways. I personally like to see all the setups with huge collections of old-school stuff, even though it's not really my style (I personally put away anything as soon as it can be emulated, hence the soon-to-be-built HTPC case under my TV).

I especially liked one setup in the 2006 thread with an old Neo-Geo MVS cabinet. RESPEK.
 
Tanukid & I have a modest little setup for the time being. We'll probably upgrade to HD later this year, but for now, since we don't have any next-gen platforms, we're content with what we have.

Game_setup.JPG

Not all of our consoles, but it's what our setup looks like at the moment. Handhelds just there because we grab those when the mood strikes. Otherwise it's mostly the consoles that are there.

Game_drawer.JPG

Where we primarily keep our collection. Not including our Dreamcast, NES, N64, GC, PS2 and handheld (except NGPC) libraries.

But seeing the nice HD setups here, gives people like me something to shoot for I think. Keep 'em coming! :D

I definitely enjoy seeing people's ridiculous collections in general (*cough* DCharlie) as well as setups that are Chittagonged up.

Where did you get the furniture? I like that style, it's very clean

thanks, got it at Target

edit: Woops, for some reason I thought you said couch. Yeah, I got the couch at Target but the rest I got at this local place here called European Style, but they closed down in the middle of last year.
 
scissorfight: Nice Elite :)

My plan was to have my setup all ready and done by the new year... but... thats not gonna happen with my DVD Player being put on backorder and my purchase of a new receiver and headphones put on hold.

I also need to make a trip to IKEA (need something cheap) to pick out a new stand... something functional... but quasi-stylish. I love the stands in the Sony Style store... but I'm not looking to spend more than $250... I've got a serious problem when the stand costs more than the components... you know?
 
Ok, my PC setup
room2.jpg


Yeah crappy curtain and the unfinished wall around the power point. At the moment though I can't bothered, and I don't really look at it anyway. :D

Lounge
room.jpg


Complete with 2 lightsabers on the bookshelf. Why not :) That round thing on the left hanging off the wall is an ornamental shield btw.
 
Not much has changed on my setup, mainly because I have no idea where to put the PS3 :(

For the moment it's simply on the floor on the left of the audio receiver.

my shelf, missing about 4 xbox games that's it.


I also have a drawer and shelf with controllers and stuff, but no need for a picture, just a bunch of various ps2 controllers, Beatmania, Taiko, Donkey Bongos, Guncons, dancepads, etc...
hahah, Who's The Boss dvd set, YOU WIN, SIR.

Its not a bad set-up you just go a bad layout. First. Get a new cabinet. Decorate the room more and try to get a more brighter couch. My set up coming soon...using VGA webcam.

EDIT:Ok..im not bothering with posting my set-up...Digital camera USB cord is lost..and VGA sucks..
