How's the HTPC working out for you? I am thinking of getting one of those or a WD Live box.Marty Chinn said:

I don't own a camera so phone pictures are going to have to do. Just moved into this place a week ago so I have it setup pretty much how I want right now.
Main Setup
Cabinet with Modded Xbox 1, Fightstick, and controllers. Also has my ghetto GT5 wheel stand I built for $3 :lol
Seating area.
My 360 generation love. Music games! Ion Drum, Mic Stand, 3 guitars (Strat 2, World Tour, and Beatles Hofner Bass). Also brand new RB3 keyboard
My systems below TV. Boring I know. Surround system, 360, PS3, and Wii.
My DVD and game collection. All 3 boxes are completely filled. Haven't fingured out where I am going to build shelves yet.

Works great! Handles 1080p videos without a problem and has been super stable. You can do so much more with it compared to a WD Live box too.

Thanks spats... It doesn't show up well in pics, but its black lit. The carpet and high score board (which you can't see in the pic) glow in person. I also added one more machine since pic was taken. That row on the far wall was squeezed together and its on the end.

Pretty much my same set up from last year with some slight modifications to my room such as my command center with all my remotes. I'm already running out of room for cases so I have to buy a DVD tower soon.

thanks, though as it stands, Tabris has a cooler looking setup... but I'll be back in 2011 dammit!! waiting to buy a new apartment in London, get renovation done and get everything absolutely perfect.
my new setup should have 7.1 Genelec speakers installed and fully hidden cables. I'm currently trying to figure out whether to replace my 52X2000 with a projector or a new 60" LED/LCD/Plasma. I kind of like the idea of a TV not dominating the space, but am concerned about daylight gaming.

Show a before picture though. That way people can be even more wow'd. Plus your before picture will show me what you did to improve when you post new ones later in the year.

Make sure you don't have many wires and can hide as much wiring as possible otherwise it'll look bad.

Hey Tabris, where did you get your PC desk in the OP? And how much did it cost? I'm looking for a new desk. Yours looks neat.

I just got my new shelf and with a good cleaning, things are really looking good now.
PC Place - I pretty much only play WoW there.
I really need to create more beads sprites. So good looking in there.

My entry this year - The DigitalNipples Man Cave
I tried to do pictures, but can't figure out how to resize them right for NeoGaf.
EDIT: Made a small 360 degree version -
I plan on repainting the man cave this year and will probably try to get rid of all the unnecessary clutter, but hey, the cave was a finalist in the "I Love You, Man" man cave contest... that's a award winning game room you're looking at!

Here is my contribution, photos were taken right after we moved had not calibrated displays, finished building shelves in media closet and installing in wall speakers and curtains in family room. Entire home is routed to the media closet, god bless monopirce. Epson 8500, 135 1.1 gain screen and 7.1 surround in the media room; There is one more game room set up like the media room but with flat screen for XBOX co-op and MMOs with the misses.

Builder was nice enough to let me go in and run all my chase pipes, right now the down stairs media closet allows for xbox, ps3 and wireless peripherals for pc to work in the family room and down stairs media room. I have usb over cat5 run to the upstairs media closet and have the wireless receiver for that pc in that media closet so didnt need a repeater there is a xbox and ps3 in that closet as well. All of the flat screens and most of my devices are Samsung so the signals get sent via hdmi from the tvs back to the equipment on the first floor.

I just moved to a new house this year so this is my new room.
40' Samsung LED TV
Broken PS3 (YLOD) Planning to get a slim next year
DirecTV Receiver
Yamaha Receiver
PS3 eye mounted on top of T.V.
My first built computer. Overcame a lot of problems during the process, but I'm glad I stuck it out

Nice setup PaperBoy, your projector's image would improve if you painted the room a dark matt colour.

Why thank you! I tend to not post more than once a year though, I like to give it some time, otherwise there's too little difference every time. I'm thinking of switching some things around someday, so maybe this year my room will look somewhat different. As of now it's pretty much the same as last time, only more games and a lot of Mario toys strewn around.Ermac said:
Some classy et-ups already in here btw. I'm kinda jealous actually, mine is kind of lacking in the subtlety area.

I recently moved into my own house and finished building my dream game room. 
I'll take some pics when I get home from work tonight!

Mine's mostly the same as last year, only I moved so the surroundings have changed.
Panasonic TH42PZ80 42" plasma TV
Onkyo TX-SR507 receiver
Tannoy SFX 5.1 speakers
Topfield TF5800PVR Freeview DVR
Oppo BDP-80 Blu-ray player
Xbox 360 Elite (UK)
PS3 60GB (US)
And this is all my media. Blu-ray followed by DVD in the left-hand sections, and games on the right. And a pile of old magazines, because I get all nostalgic when I read them.

Your place looks amazing. A dedicated room for the projector?

just think Madman, if you ever got a Kinect, you'd have a Kinect and a toy chameleon.

Yep, that's my dead PS3 next to my shelf, awaiting whatever fate has in store for it.
Also, looking for some advice. As you can see:
THERE IS A HUGE FUCKING SPACE OF NOTHING above my couch. I've tried rearranging pictures and stuff over it but it always ends up tacky. Any good recommendations as far as that's concerned? I don't have any giant family portraits and even if I did I wouldn't hang 'em up. There's always shit like mantles or huge pieces of famous artwork but I'm looking for something a bit more modern.

picture is grainy because i had to lighten it. i like to keep it pretty dark in my living room.
Panasonic TC-P50VT20
Pioneer VSX-520-K
2 fronts are awesome speakers I've had since high school with amazing bass response (no identifying info on them anywhere)
Center/Rear Left and Right are leftovers from a cheap Sony home theater package
currently have a ps3/360/wii/xbox 1 hooked up to it. i stream a lot of movies and tv shows from my PC on the other side of the room. most of them look surprisingly good.

You can always get a very large picture of a city scape. I personally always wanted to go to Paris, so when I saw this I thought it would be perfect as it was big and chic.
EDIT - You can get this picture from Ikea for only like 100ish.

There's a Hobby Lobby store right across the road from my place, they have all kinds of shit like that but kind of expensive obviously. That looks really good though.
