Feel a little inadequate posting my little collection that I just started a couple of months ago but here goes anyway. Not shown but on the way or in the front room hooked to big TV are my : Jaguar, Wii, WiiU, PS3, PS4, XBOX One , Gamecube and my original Xbox with 500gb worth of emulated games. I just got the led lights to put under the shelves. Putting them in this next weekend.
This is my current PC setup. I got the monitor (ASUS PB278Q) for Christmas. It's a QHD (2560 x 1440) 27" IPS LCD. I love this thing. It's definitely the biggest computer monitor I've ever owned, and it looks really good. Having the extra screen space is really nice, and the added resolution looks really good in games. I use this setup for gaming as well as general computing stuff. You can see my MacBook Pro on the desk. The desktop has been largely unchanged since 2013, except for a few small upgrades. The current specs are: Core i7-3770K 3.5GHz Ivy Bridge Gigabyte Z77-D3H motherboard 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 GTX 780 3GB 120GB SanDisk SSD 240GB SanDisk SSD 1TB Samsung HDD It's starting to get a little old, but this is still a very powerful machine. It can run most games at 1440p pretty well, though it has a little difficulty with GTAV at that resolution.
Thanks. The top part of the desk is made of glass. The keyboard is an Apple wired keyboard. One of the reasons I like this desk is because it has a sort of angled design (which you can't really see in this photo) which reminds me of the Net City.
Long time lurker, this is my extreme budget tempoary setup, please excuse the shoddy wood work, I didnt bother doing stuff precisely cause It will be redone anyhow when I own a place. Probably a bit picture heavy but really happy with how it turned out Systems: Wii U, Wii (GC, Nes, Snes) with a 1tb drive, NTSC N64 with everdrive and its also connected to my PC for PS1/2 emulation and steam games, also have a steam controller.Also have a bias light for late night gaming. Most things are emulated as its hard to get NTSC stuff in australia, when I get a gaming room going I will put my pal collection and systems on a shelf probably I have it setup so player 1 and 2 controllers are all wired in for N64 and wii U, player 1 controllers have extension leads so you dont have to sit too close to the tv. Rest of the controllers are in a cardboard box for when you have more people around Japanese controllers I got for cheap from someone who bulk imports them. GC controller goes to the Wii U for smash. Second GC controller for gamecube games and Nes/Snes controllers. I am getting some super famicom controllers soon, the retroactive controller is terrible, the d pad doesnt work properly and its a design fault meaining in top down games you cant walk straight. Player 2 controllers and teleporting xbox controller It runs on a UPS I got for free, hooked up to two car batteries. When the powers out the gaming continues, last for ages haha
My set up isn't much, and I'm still in the process of adding more to it. But as it is, I think it's just about perfect for my needs. All the systems except the PS2, Famicom, and Dreamcast are either RGB modded and/or have a flash cart/mod chip. And if anyone's wondering the PVM in the first picture is a 8044Q and the second one is a 1344Q.
Phase 2 of my closet remodel for games and Joysticks. still have some shelving to go and have LED's in just have to finish hooking them up to power source, Consoles and other peripherals are in main part of same room along with my "special to me" or "more valuable" games I have on display. Wish I had a bigger room or basement but..what ya gonna do? work with what you have..lol. For the Joystick displays I used stackable shoe racks..I like that these were angled and matched everything else. You can kind of see I have controllers from floor to ceiling on each side of closet as well. I know this isn't anywhere near most of you but..i'm pretty proud of it so far, Thought i'd share anyway.
That looks pretty cool Ashevent. Very clean and i must say, great idea to reuse shoe racks for the arcade controllers.
Loved the tour! That is one cool setup you have there Yakumo! And that custom RGB box is pure bliss! I also love how you have your consoles stacked up next to the TV rack, looks pretty neat!
Cheers. The set up is a little different now. The Wondermega is on top of the emulation PC. The Super Famicom is were the PC Engine was and the PC Engine plus CD unit is where the Super Famicom was. The amp is now on the Base speaker. So in total there are 10 consoles, 1 PC, 1 BluRay Player and 1 DVD player (used for region 2 discs) all connected to the same TV and 5.1 amp ready to go. Now messy switch box button combinations to remember either. Just switch on the machine, that's it I'm very happy with the current set up. Everything is connected via RGB or better apart from the Wondermega which is using S-Video. No shitty composite in this house! Even my son's Wii uses D-terminal (component).
This is what my collection currently looks right now. Huge pickup yesterday. I gained about 20 genesis games. A couple of rare ones in mint condition. Real boxes to secret of evermore and dracula x.
