    Ok, here's mine.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    42" LCD TV. Nothing special there.

    Top right and down.
    Sega Megadrive with a 32x and Everdrive MD.
    Sega Saturn. Chipped and Region selector.
    Sega Dreamcast with USB-GDRom and 2TB HD. Currently in the solder room so not in its place.
    Commodore CD32. Standard. Waiting for RGB+HD mod for it to be released.
    Playstation 1, chipped.
    Playstation 2 with 400GB internal HD and a 4TB NAS (the white thing) for OPL.
    Neo Geo AES with MagicKey and a 161in1 cart.

    Under TV:
    Left: PC with HyperSpin/Rockerlauncher for the emulation love. An X-Arcade Tank stick connected (not in the shot). Also got an AimTrack connected for those shooting games, although I am not too fond of it. I need a new cool chassis for this computer.
    Right: Intellivision, Composite modded. Always loaded with "AD&D, Tresure of Tarmin", which I love =)

    Middle Left: Commodore Amiga 1200 with 68030, 64MB ram and Indivision AGA MKII connected with HDMI, network and 32GB CF card filled with all WHDLoad games.
    RIght: Commodore 64 with 1541 Ultimate II.

    Bottom left to right:
    Playstation 3. Original at the moment. Waiting for my E3 Flasher to arrive.
    Ninteno WII, softmodded with 2TB HD.
    Xbox 360 with XK3Y and 9TB HDs connected to it. Yes, I'm a hoarder.
    Xbox. 500GB internal HD, chipped.
    Nintendo 64 with Everdrive 64. French model, RBG Modded.
    Super Nintendo with SD2SNES
    (Empty slot)
    NES with Everdrive N8, RGB modded.

    The PC, Commodore Amiga, XBOX360 are connected to the small automatic HDMI switch that you can see under the TV, standing upright.

    Everything else is connected with Scart (Pure RGB on all except for the CD32 and Intellivision which uses composite) to the 3 automatic Scart switchers stacked on top of each other to the right of the TV.

    The TV is auto sensing as well, so I just turn on whatever console I want and the automatic switching does the rest.

    I put wheels on the cabinet itself so I can easily pull out the whole thing to reach the cabling at the back. Trying to keep it tidy but you know how it gets after a while...

    All the audio goes into the TV and then out to a very old Cambridge speaker setup that I've had for ages. Its yellowed to hell so I figured it would be a nice addition to the retro corner. Plus is has awesome sound. The volume for the whole thing is in the top left corner to the left of the TV.

    I've thought about lighting and similar, but not got that far yet. Not sure I want it.

    It is a full metal base, keys are not metal. The software for it lets it down pretty badly, but overall a very nice keyboard. It's very customisable with it's backlighting which I like quite a bit.

    The lighting is very good, it really makes a difference to the set-up.

    Its really a great setup, Well done, mate !
    Are you running your consoles through an upscaler like XRGB or it's all direct connections from console to tv?

    Thanks =)

    Except for the 3 going through HDMI, its all direct scart to the TV. I feel so sorry for the counties that never got scart...

    9tb for 360? I need to double check my set, I'm around 6tb and thought I was only missing a few titles. My ps3 set is 9tb and only missing a few titles as well.

    My mistake. its 6.95TB. Miscalculated some =) Only annoying thing is that XK3Y can not handle this many games it seems. Refuses to index the HD. I've yet to find the sweetspot but I guess its around 500 games.

    Lately I've been revamping my current setup, I've changed cables for systems to the best possible outputs (like component), added extensions to leads, and overall neatened everything up. Lately I wanted to hide my switches from view once you sit in a chair. Since the unit boxes have LED strip lighting, the switch boxes were in plain sight, along with all the messy composite cables attached to them.

    [​IMG]

    I got some velcro hooks, which have self adhesive sides. One side is stuck to the switches, and the other side on the unit. A lot neater.
