After of week back from Animazement, I finally had a few hours to hook up all the upstairs consoles. I removed the dual-deck VCR since I have not touched it in over 5 years and it just took up room (so no requests for LD dubs!).

Top row, left-to-right: CDX, Duo, Saturn, DC, receiver, DTV convertor box
Lower row, left-to-right: LD, 2600(on top), media PC, 3x switch boxes, GC, 2x PS2s, 360.

The AV on the Duo and CDX create some aesthetic compromise. Still a rats nest in the back even after two hours of hooking up.

man I've seen those pics so many times

[Tatsujin]

that's because they're always the same

[blueraven]

It is a constant thing; like dark matter in the universe or a twinkie that never molds.

[turbokon]

And it's still awesome each time:)

Great pictures everyone! I love seeing other collections and gaming setups.

I don't think this link to my collection album on another website is against site rules but appologies if it is (it's a fantastic website but there's very little NEC love there). I can't be bothered to set up a Imageshack account.

One cool thing of note is that the wonderful Adventure Island/ Wonder Boy explainer thread here at pcenginefx showed me I could substitue Wonder Boy in Monster World on the Genesis for Dynastic Hero. I wonder if this knowledge will impact the price of WBiMW in the long term - I found my copy on ebay for about $20 only seconds after reading that thread.

It's clear that Turbografx gamers are moving into their thirties and getting their shit together. It's also clear that Tats has too much stuff. 

Here are a few shots of what I have out and about.

Speakers: 32x, SGX
Top: TG16 w/TurboBooster Plus (output is +12dB louder and a lot more bass than my re-capped Duo), 3DO FZ-10
Middle: N64, SMS2, SNES, DVD player
Bottom: XBOX (for D+D Heroes and 40GB hard drive emulator ONLY!), Turbo Duo, NES, VCR


check out those NES RPGs!


And the Dungeons & Dragons shelf.


fuck boxes

I have these two paintings, which were used in the packaging of Mysterious Song-

Into their 30's eh?  Does 38 count? 

I really like your setup vestcunt.  That D&D shelf increases your sex appeal by +1.

lol, I don't brag about my lil' hitobito tsuu

it just happened that it fell into my lap, with a dozen games in top

[PikachuWarrior]

VestCunt, I have that same RCA tv. Had anyway. I think it had s-video as the highest video input. Weighed a ton. When I switched to an hdtv, I sold it for $100 to someone else in 2009.

[turbokon]

Looking nice guys. I'm going to build a 12 cube custom shelves to hold all my concoles. Hopefully 12 is enough Got my materials and ready to start. Hopefully I'll get it done by this weekend. Can't wait to show it to you guys!!

A TurboGrafx or Duo will only squeeze into a twelve-inch cube if you have a Turbobooster or mod to put the AV out on the back of the unit; otherwise it sticks out and you need more room on the side. 

[SMF]

Dam looks like I gotta get busy finishing up my gameroom. Hard to do when you have no free time what so ever. But never fear I hope to have it completed sometime this summer.

Here is what I meant 12 cubes shelve. First furniture I ever attempted. Just need to paint. Debating whether or not I should put a backing.

[Jugbug]

Nice work on the shelves.  I need something like that one of these days... a pile of systems lacks that organized look.

[Samurai Ghost]

Nice looking shelves!! I wanna make some like that for myself one day eventually.
Putting a backing on them with holes or slots for the cables would look a lot cleaner but would be a bit harder when you are setting up the systems. Then again, once you get everything set up you'll probably never touch it so I say get a back on those! Then you won't have to stare at a mess of cables every time you play games.

[cabbage]

Very nice shelves, turbokon. You must be very handy (or maybe just very motivated)
Do share pics once you've got it all filled with stuff!

[roflmao]

Looks great!  I like the open back.  Maybe you could attach some sort of tubing along the back to wrangle all the cords.

DON'T PAINT!! Stain and varnish! Awesome job man! looks great

[Bernie]

I agree with Nando.  Paint bad....Stain good...

[city41]

Here is my game collection, minus the smidge of modern games I have elsewhere:



The most interesting part is probably the complete Euro NGPC set.

[turbokon]

Nice, did she came with the car ?

[SMF]

Nice, did she came with the car ?

I'm the complete opposite, Get that dam woman off the car lol

My whole gaming collection, it's not too big but I've watched it grow

Oh itsa gonna grow.  Joining here has those kind of side effects.  lol

Agree with Nando and Bernie 
Or you can do a combination which i did for my movie/game shelf...Paint for the main 4 boards (top, bottom, left, right) and stain the inner racks.
Word of advice though, try to get all your brush strokes in the same direction, this will give it a nice wood grain look  , unfortunately could be tricky unless u can remove those inner racks for easier access. I'll see if i can dig up some pics...

[FiftyQuid]

The shelving looks awesome!  I would go with a backing.  Seeing all the cables hanging down will drive you nuts.  Especially if you have painted white walls.  Not to mention you'll have a crapload of power bars at the bottom so you'll be able to see all the massive AC adapters.  I have serious OCD when it comes to cabling, so me I would put a backing on (with holes drilled for cabling) and I'd still end up tie-wrapping all the cabling to keep it neat.  If I had 12 consoles I'd probably add some P-Touch labelling too just in case I had to unplug something specific in the future.

@SuperPlay - Are those IKEA shelving/cabinets?  They are pretty sweet looking.

Some excellent collections being posted here.  I'm more envious with every post.

Nice work turbokon :@) love the shelving unit that you have made.

FiftyQuid:  I picked up the cabinets from Argos here in the UK (Around £45 each).  Unfortunately I do not think that they stock them any more :-(  On a side note I have lined the inside of the doors with brown paper as these face a window and I wanted to reduce spine fading due to Sun-fade.

[turbokon]

Thanks guys. I'm painting it black to match the rest of my office decor. I made it adjustable. I'm going to try it without a backing and see how it will look. Seeing you guys pictures of your setup is my motivation:)

[Bernie]

I may contribute to this thread.    Gotta organize it first.

[SMF]

I plan on posting pics of my gaming room once i figure out how to set everything up.

[CPTRAVE]

Amazing set up from everyone, I feel I need to start collecting. Time for my wife to get a job but every where she applies its  from places. I need to start looking at garage sales.

So ya, here's the 2 tone paint job (stain + dark brown) i did for my movie/game shelf. There's also this nice spinner rack i bought at Zellers or The Bay for DVD sized games...dunno why the hell Sega chose the size they did for their Saturn cases  and yes...that's StreetFighter: The Movie for Saturn  My PCE stuff is kinda scattered in 3 different rooms of the house...so ya will have to take a shot when i get it together.

Lol, does your wivey need to finance your future collections or what?

[CPTRAVE]

Yeah, she is the smart one in the house.

[Tatsujin]

ROLF!!

[turbokon]

I'm glad I make the money or else I wouldn't be able to afford this hobby because my wife still doesnt know what she want to go school for.

[NightWolve]

Show off! ;)
