What city are you in? Your place looks lovely. I need to take some shots of my loungeroom, I just never get around to it :/

I live in Minneapolis. It's a unique home that has a grass roof. It's not a big house, but it's tucked back in the woods and I love it.

Could you tell me where you got that cupboard for your turntable?
I'm getting my dad's old one and I want to give it a nice place in my college room.
I believe it's this IKEA Besta cabinet:

However mine has a black glass plate on top (http://www.ikea.com/nl/nl/catalog/products/20196529/#/50196537). I also put on some legs that I got at IKEA.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Depends on what it is. Some things, like the Billy bookcases, are actually quite solid. Pretty much everyone likes them. Most stuff is kinda crap, though.
Adding to this, there's some IKEA products that don't hold so well if they are moved around. I was always told that the rule was to expect their furniture to survive one or two moves and that's about it. My parents have an old (massive) bookcase from them that's got to be 20+ years old already...it's still holding up, but if they even tried to move it out of the room it's in, it looks like it would just collapse, lol.
Well, its true that some of the Ikea stuff won't survive more than 1-2 moves. Yet, to be honest most furniture I see these days won't last more either.
So many of these setups are just stunning. However, I'm wondering, for the people with kids and dogs, what kind of tv stand do you use? The one I've been using is wide open, which leads to a lot of dust/dog hair.
I'd like to set one that could support the following: standard size receiver, 55" plasma, xb360, ps3, WiiU, and possibly a PS4 at some point. It'd also be nice if it had doors over certain things so the kid wouldn't mess with it.
Thanks!

in my opinion wall mount is the only way to go with kids and animals around
That's fine for the tv, but how about with a receiver and all? (I have our 32" tv and PS3 in the bedroom wall mounted).
not to mouch you can do about the receiver or consoles. I just reached my cats not to even walk near my tv and my kid to don´t touch anything there. But of course she still occasionally drifts towards the ps3. But honestly - what harm could she do?
Love seeing everyones setups. Think I posted mine a while back but here is a slight update.
Excuse the mess of wires. Haven't really felt like cleaning them up as I'm the only one that has to see them. Put this together on a college kids budget working 30 or so hours a week. Just added the Harman-Kardon Receiver, replacing a Samsung I had for like 2 years. Next few weeks will be fun however, have an HD-DVR coming from DirecTV and my Xbox One the week after that. Other then that still rocking an HD-DVD player, figured no reason to get rid of the movies I already had on the format.

My modern gaming setup downstairs is shit, so lets ignore that. Instead here's my retro corner that I set up upstairs today after getting a decent CRT for free last night:
All I need now is to set up my spare 2.1 speaker system for badass sound and my massive Secret of Mana poster to put on the wall and it's complete!
Also need a Saturn to go into the bottom left corner of that unit. NES and SNES are catered for by the Wii which looks amazing in RGB and a SNES controller to GC adapter.

That's Maya on the screen but it works great for games.

Just finished building it.
That's a really nice looking case, and an excellent size too. I bought a Cosmos II because I thought I'd need all the extra space, now it just sticks out like a black monolith. If I can fit two GPUs in there, then I'll definitely get something more that size next time.
The bitfenix prodigy is really super sexy. Looking to that one for my next case upgrade as well.

PS4 setups anbody? Cmon...
That's what I was expecting when I saw this on the first page.
There is no such thing as "girls", there are individuals and individual tastes vary.
OP's pad is very nice. It may not look as comfy as the others to some, but I bet sitting in there at night with the view and low lights on while gaming is a very cool experience and just as comfy and warm as any of the places on display in this thread.
I don't have good lighting at night and I haven't figured out exactly where I want it, but here you go...

Dat cat accessory.
PS4 looks nice in the real and next too other stuff. Doesn't stick out, but makes a nice statement. Kudos. Decided if you want to keep it shown or not?

I've bought several pieces from them and have not been disappointed.
You should head to an ikea. All that nice tech deserves proper furniture!
LMAO. I rent right now and moving is such a hassle, I decided I'm not buying real furniture till I get a house. This lack of BC is killing me and it's like I have consoles everywhere now (I also have a wii but it's packed up).
When I had 3 bedrooms at my old place, one was a "gaming" room. Can't do that right now :\
PS: The living room tv stand is from ikea
