Where did you get that pac-man lol. I want one

In a coffee selling shop in Germany called tchibo

 

[baphomet]

I'm just gonna post some of my gaming shit since aside from my PS5 and PC most of it gets brought out when I want to play it. It's just a miniscule fraction of my stuff though.

Not sure if they're in order but my PC with a 5900x and 3090, Sega 16 E-Swat PCB I converted into a multi, modded DMG, GBA Consolizer, and a Darksoft CPS-2 multi.

^ Bonus: Customized chair blaster comfortable to play my games




More games of my collection, here;

 

[MasterDerico]

Now im working on other two shelves for Nes, MegaDrive, Master System, Dreamcast and 3DO!

Currently hooked on my tv: Snes, N64, Saturn, Ps1, Ps2, Ps3, Ps4, Wii, Xbox 360, Xbox one.

For Snes, Saturn, N64, Ps1 im using AV to Hdmi (looks great on my 60" oled, and playing in "game mode" has ZERO input lag! Wii, Ps2 im using Component to Hdmi, also great image quality and ZERO input lag! The others are all hdmi so...

Tv has 3 hdmi and 2 usb, so i did something cool to change the consoles easily! My 32 flat crt is great to play old consoles, but its now retired, too expansive...

Im also put my notebook on the side of the tv to play some steam games and my doujin collection on the tv!

Im happy, but sad at the same time because of my CRT retirement... :'(

The 1930s lamp and tackle box really tie the room together.

 

[Dorago]

Got gaming stuff all over my wire jungle of a room

I love how looking at contemporary Canadian consumer goods puts me into a state of disassociation and makes me start questioning the nature of reality.

 

[It's all in the wrist]

I realized long ago that I would never be satisfied with my collection, and that I'd always be throwing money at it, so I sold EVERYTHING. I had games from every era complete in box, every console, memorabilia, etc. I ended up selling it long ago (I wish I would have waited until the shit came back in vogue during the pandemic), and now just buy consoles, a really nice entertainment system, and sell games when I beat them. It's much more economical and doesn't set off all of my bad habits. I never could narrow my collection down.

That said, this thread is glorious. I hope y'all get to share your setups with people IRL. My nieces and nephews would flip if they saw all of this. You can't emulate the feeling of grabbing a game from the shelf and playing it on the original console with the original controller.

Here’s the new gaming room ! It’s not quite where I want it to be but it’s getting there. It might be missing a rug and a small plant what do you think ?

From this point of view (taken from a very comfortable sofa) you can admire my LG C9 which is hooked to my PS5 and PC :

(Can’t wait)

So here we are !

I moved in a month ago and still have a bit of work to do around the house but it's almost done. Here's the gaming room:

I haven't bothered with cable management too much yet cause I'm hanging the TV to the wall next week when I'm receiving a new soundbar (LG SP11RA)

So hardware wise, there is:

LG 55C9 for PS5 and PC
Some older gen consoles tucked away in the TV stand (PS4 Pro, PS3, PS Vita, Xbox ONE X, 2DS). The switch is downstair in the living room.

PC Specs are as follow:

RTX 3080
i7 10700KF
16Gb RAM

and a 3440*1440@100hz 21/9 screen

I'm very happy with the space and it's a pleasant place to be even for non-gaming activities.

Ma-Yuan your setup is insane. a man of taste as well. that dreamcast setup is so tight.

Living room setup

 

[Hohenheim]

lovely, I really like the Omen series of rigs HP puts out. I picked up a 2080ti config a couple years ago and have been really impressed with the component selection. Good stuff.

They look good, but the thermal properties of the (my) case (have one with watercooling) are full on ass...

 

[DiscoDave]

Love the lighting on some of these set ups. 100% gunna do this when I have a spare bedroom when I can kick the kids out the second they are old enough.

I have the one with the cryo chamber. That might sound like a gimmick, but it works very well! I have aboslutely no cooling problems, and the rig never gets anywhere close to very hot. Very, very satisfied.

[Faust]

That is still a great set up.

Damn I feel you. Whenever I add to the collection I feel like that's it, that's the final piece. A little while later I'm thinking about the next collectors piece.

 

[Faust]

I am in the process of selling around half my collection. What helped me was “did I love this game? Will I play it in the next 2 years?” If the answer is no, I sell it.

Mind you most of that money has gone directly into funding an equally terrible money sink if a hobby - warhammer - but at least I save some room

 

[BusierDonkey]

It finally happened. My friend moved out of the basement. I have twice the space for my shit now.

Any suggestions for overflowing ps4 games?
As you can see, overflow on top shelf and it lands in the bottom cabinet of shame.
The shelf is ikea KALLAX. Controllers are kept in the drawer under the pc on the right here.
2 years ago I've moved top shelf higher to make room for games and ps5. So I think this is fine.
I see few possible ways:
1)
-Move old 360 and it's game down there to the cabinet of shame.
-Put ps5 and wedding ring hand there but it will be a bit low... I like that it's on the desk level now
-move ps5 shelf left after ps5 higher to make another games shelf under the top one/
2)
-Put small half board next to the ps5 in place of hand. ps5/4 games could occupy 2 levels there
-Then hand and crap moves somewhere else.
-Xbox stays
3)
-xbox and games out.
-Overflow games just there.... bottom, hard to see... shame....
-too much leftover space left. Not enough to put a divider and another level of games though
Do I need a whole new cabinet ?
I kinda don't like this desk anymore... looks heavy and cheap... maybe because it was is So new desk suggestions(possible ikea since it's close) are welcome

Spoiler: controllers drawer

What is your budget and roughly how much work do you want to do?

 

[rofif]

What is your budget and roughly how much work do you want to do?

Don't think I want to go spending spree since it's all looking pretty good. Would probably need to replace desk and the two shelving units.
Woudn't want to spend more than 2-300 for a desk though
edit: re-arranging would be ok

 

[Warnen]

My current set up, everything in my room learned hard way $$$ shit and kids don’t mix. Hope to reclaim the house in a few years…

Wtf how does the 360 look so small compared to the PS5? That thing was a beast.
