My (rather small) gaming setup.

Obviously, there are pictures ahead.

My gaming setup isn't spectacular, but after cleaning and re-arranging my room for the first time in months, I think it has turned out nicely.



I warned you it was small.

On the left is my incredibly comfy bed, where I do most of my gaming, whether it be with the consoles or with my handhelds. In front of that is a computer monitor with speakers, which I bought about a year ago for 60 dollars. I use it as a cheap HDTV of sorts; while I don't actually have a computer connected to it, I use a VGA box (pictured between the wii and pedal) to get the signal on the screen, and use the pedal to "convert" the rca signal to a standard headphone signal. It's a weird way of doing things, but I'm happy with how well it works.

Here's a closeup of the different consoles/handhelds I have in my room:

(Half minute hero <3)

Here's the right side of my room:

(My old washburn guitar is in the hard shell case on the left side, my ovation balladeer next to it, and cases next to that. A clever way of concealing cords, no?)

Here's the middle of my room:

(My amp, a Crate VFX 5212, and my guitar, a Schecter gryphon. I love my amp. It took me so freaking long to save up for it. ;_;)

In case you haven't noticed, all of my games are kept out of direct sight. I've also skimmed down on the space they take up in my drawers ( I'll usually keep them in the drawers under the consoles), putting them in CD cases with partial cover art printed on them. This is good, as I don't have needless clutter in my room, but I have portable games scattered literally EVERYWHERE. I'm also starting to yearn for a large game collection. I've found out it isn't exactly satisfying keeping them the way I am.

Anyway, here are the games I can readily find in my room, I put them on the floor and took a picture:

(Hopefully, you can figure out what games are what.)

Now here's the other room where I game, I will warn you though, it is a basement, and isn't exactly kept well:

I keep the 360 down here for my brother, it's really the only modern console he has any interest in playing. The computer I'm using (pictured in the left corner) was a mid-range computer eight years ago, so it isn't exactly fast.

Here are the 360 games we have (It's a decent collection, I think):


And here are the "oddball" games I have, that I haven't put in my room for one reason or another:

(the orange game box in the corner is the orange box. geddit? ...:()

And here's one more picture:
My dog!


When I get my portable games together, I'll try to post it here.

I do have other consoles, it's just that half of them are currently sitting in my brothers room. (Like a GBA, a Dreamcast, an Xbox, a Gamecube, a Ps1, etc.)

Hopefully this wasn't too bloated. :p

Very classy set up (and the guitars really add a certain ambiance to the room - very nice!)

(oh, and your dog has an adorable smile and seems to approve!) :)

Thanks. It's the one picture where I was able to get her to sit still.
@Wry Guy
I know. I'm starting to regret my "space saving" decision.

When I find a rack for my games that doesn't take up half my room (or the basement. for that matter), I'm putting all of the games back in their original cases. I still have all of the original casings in a box somewhere in the basement.

I'm the same as you with space as my PS3 and Xbox is down stairs on the Living room. All i did is put the discs in a DVD binder and the boxes away upstairs.

I did the spindle thing for a while, actually. I just got sick of paging through each disc individually.
@kauza
Thanks. You have good taste in music, I might add.

Oh, and if anyone is wondering, the "lumines II" disc in the 360 collection is actually Qubed, the compilation Q entertainment put out a while back.

Where's the TV?

I use the monitor as a TV, of sorts.
The vga box (between wii and pedal, and between the speaker and computer in the second pic.) converts the component signal into a vga signal.

Truth.

So much better looking, and easier to clean.

That is a sexy looking acoustic guitar you have there! Also those floors look nice! And the game setup isn't bad either.
