My Gaming Setup: It's About Damn Time
GoS-CPT-Stewart | 3:35 PM on 01.03.2009 19 comments


Well, I've been planning on making one of these "My Setup" posts for a long while now, problem was neither me nor my brother (slash roommate) had a digital camera... Until now! Hooray for Christmas! So, here it is!



This is my desk. As you can see I've got a pretty big desktop setup goin' on (2x 24" Monitors each running at 1920x1200). You can see the Dreamcast along with the 360 sporting a Dark Sector faceplate (including HD-DVD player) and PS3 right above the monitors, and the HD cable box and external Hard Drive above that.



On the left I've got my workstation laptop (Compaq 8710w) where I do all my coding and school work. Above that you can see my 360/Wii/PS2/PS3 collections on above the laptop, with the PC games on the shelf above that.





Along with my PC I also play my 360/PS3/Dreamcast on the right monitor (so I can still do PC stuff on the left) and occasionally I'll watch TV on the left monitor while playing a console game on the right. But now let's move onto the exciting stuff...

My Retro collection!

I've got a sweet little setup right here. I've had this TV for years and it's still going strong. All the old games look great on it!



Now the systems!
Top row: NES, PS1, PS2
Bottom row: Atari 7800, N64
Outside: SNES, Gamecube





And the games starting with SNES/NES:
I know you can't see it, but at the back of the drawer there I've got Link to the Past on SNES and the original Zelda for the NES (I really love that gold cartridge)


Then the N64:


The PS1 (Which I got for christmas along with the Gamecube. Also, I love the big boxes):
What's the deal with Ebay auctions and a lot of shitty sports games... I don't need 4 football games with my Playstation.


The good old Dreamcast:


And of course the Atari:





Well I hope you all like it! I'm pretty proud of it myself. I feel all warm and fuzzy when I'm sitting near all that stuff... although that may just be the buzzing of the consoles and the heat they give off. I may want to look into that.

@JediYoshi
I have no idea :P
I haven't watched any of my HD-DVDs since the NXE came out. I assume it still works fine though...

@Diverse
They're Westinghouse L2410NM monitors but I don't believe they make them anymore. Plus the input lag is reported to be around 60ms (4-ish frames). People say it's bad for gaming but i honestly can't notice like some of my friends can.

@Funktastic
All I've got is a DS right now. Once I get all the home consoles I want, then I'll move on to Handhelds.
