This is totally excluding most classic stuff - I have hundreds of atari, genesis, master system, NES, etc carts and related promo/plush/etc goods boxed up and/or at another location. I usually like to keep only the stuff that has a decent chance of getting played right by the tv, to avoid too much clutter. Also, the neo-geo cabinet and Spider-Man cabinet are mainly used for playing Jamma PCBs. I also have more music game controllers (Samba, Shakka to Tambourine, Drummania, etc) but those were too big to fit into the pics easily.

not an idiot
This is from a cheapo Kodak throwaway digital camera, but here's my current setup...
Where I'm posting this from, it's all top of the line (3.2 P4, 1 gig OCZ ram, Rator SATA HDD, IBM 20" flatscreen Trinitron etc)...
You can't see it, but this has a playstation hooked up to the little TV beside the bed, so I can play some oldie but goodies while getting ready to go to sleep. There's also a GameCube with a WaveBird Wireless controller hooked up to a 35" RCA TV on the right there. On top of it is a Sony DVD player.
My main room gaming setup. Xbox there, the games are in one of those cases, but I have quite a few. The set is a Sony Direct View HDTV 36" (36hs510) with a Yamaha Digital receiver and Eosone speakers with a JBL 500 watt powered sub...
EDIT: Edited out the other pics of my family and me for Fusebox, who was offended by them (below). Apologies.

Sorry for the extreme bad quality of the pics, these were taken with my PDA, and it doesn't have any flash.

Most were bought "on the cheap," too - thanks Wario64!
Seriously, don't go thinking I'm rich or anything - most of those games were budget purchases, and almost all of the arcade games were found very cheap (usually broken) and then fixed up and restored.
Well, even though I'm jealous about some of these collections, I'm happy about one thing. With few exceptions, all those rooms are so messy and cluttered and, well, packed with stuff. Doesn't look all that inviting to sit in a mess and play games to me, I can now appreciate my gaming room (=living room) even more.
And bobbyconover, I wish I had that Kururin poster. It rocks, I'm jealous.

You've got some rad promo stuff there, BeOnEdge. My favorite is definitely the Outrun poster - did you get that in Japan? I've only seen huge/awesome arcade posters like that over there, and they usually cost a mint. Amazingly I was able to get my Incredible Crisis poster (note that it's for the arcade version - published by Tecmo of all people) for something like 100 yen. I guess it's not considered too collectible over there!
Do you really keep them both in a safe? I have both of mine just wedged in the middle of big stacks of games. I guess I should probably think about setting them aside.

friend used to work at EA. his boss needed to get rid of it and i ended up with it. i was kidding about the safe.
the stuff i have usually turns up on ebay every now and then and i'm always tempted to get doubles. hahahahaha.

I think I spotted a bong in this pick. Does anyone else see it?

It's true. I made a bong out of a bottle of "Febreze."

shpankey, nice to finally put a face to the name =) You're a rich man.

Uh, if we're looking at the same thing, I think that's the stand for the rear speaker. The other one is on a stand, while this one looks like its situatied on the couch for one reason or another.

Naw, I'm only a couple years older than you. I hate to shatter the illusion, but I'm living in a 2-car garage that has been converted into a makeshift apartment. I'm kinda embarrassed to admit that the arcade games (with the exceptions of Joust, Neo Geo and a half-working Pac-Man cocktail) are very tightly packed into what was formerly my bedroom - the bed had t be dismantled and removed to make room for more games - back at my mom's house. The other old games are housed in what used to be my bedroom at my dad's house. I'm basically riding it as long as I can until they finally snap and make me get my ridiculous amounts of stuff out of their houses, at which time I'll be screwed unless I cough up the dough to rent some kind of storage unit.

For some bizarre reason, only that one top piece of the casing turns horribly yellow over time. Mine is the exact same way, as are many others that I've seen. It sucks.

Ehh, well it's a convenient piece of furniture.
I'm a collector who values quality over quantity and I'm obsessive about the condition of my games, so 90% of my stuff is tucked away in towel-padded drawers. But oh well, here's an extra shelf.

The copy of Panzar Saga is sealed. And that's a picture of me riding a camel.
BeOnEdge: You have the normal blue version of What's Shenmue, nice. I have the ORANGE version. BWAHAHAHAHA

I thought it was gold paint..
And there are some simply incredible game collections. But like someone mentioned, there are a lot of very cluttered messy rooms..
The Take Out Bandit said:Wow, now I don't feel so bad about all of the shit I've got laying about.
Here's an excerpt from my Saturn collection. Fighting games:
Thanks guys, you've really put things into perspective for me. ^_^
I just need to clean up all the kibble laying about, and I'll have a nice looking pad.
i can only respect this collection !
two thumbs up
Yeah, mine did the same thing, though it's not as bad as the one posted. It's just sort of got a brownish tint to the top piece.bobbyconover said:For some bizarre reason, only that one top piece of the casing turns horribly yellow over time.

Hehe, actually its just one PS2. I was bored so me and my brother decided to have some fun.
Digital Camera + camera tripod + 1x PS2 + 1x GC + Photoshop = fun.
The game collection (although hard to see) is genuine, not much to show off compared to the other posted here though.
