In this thread you may post pics of your gaming area, be it PC, console or any combination of the two. You are welcome to post pics that you have posted in the ‘Show us your workstations!’ thread.

jackwanders Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 It's still a work in progress, but here's my 'man cave'. When my girlfriend bought her house, it was a kitchenette. We tore everything out, laid down some hardwood floor, put up new drywall, and turned it into a mini theater room. It's not in any photos, but right now there's a run-down futon which we hope to replace with a nice loveseat, possibly w/ recliners. There's about 500 or so DVDs on the shelves and a dozen or so Blu-rays. I'm in dire need of a new storage solution as the rack only holds 400. Can't see it in the photo, but there's a stack of box-sets on the floor next to the rack. Coffee table doubles as a 'desk', and a couple bins underneath hold all the console controllers. Not a huge collection of console games, so they fit in the TV stand. Receiver's nothing special, and the knob broke off when I moved a few months ago. PS3's on top of the 360, kinda hard to see. The PC's the newest addition, and there really isn't a nice spot for it, so it's just kinda hangin' out. But since the FiOS router's in here, the PC and the consoles are all wired connections, so that's nice. Here's the PC. Nothing special, just your basic hidden cable setup. And OMG, is that stock cooling on the CPU? The horror! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerowen Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I'll get a picture of my setup when I track down batteries for a camera. I feel like such a non-nerd now though looking at some of those enormous televisions. I've got a 32" which by the standards that I grew up with was just unrealistic and unnecessary. Not to mention it was the absolute largest one that would fit in the back of the car I had at the time. When I moved here I had my car, a couple of uniforms for work, this television, a sleeping bag and a Led Zeppelin bar stool. It pretty well staid that way until the wife moved up here and demanded that we have "furniture", lol. Now I look at it and I'm like, "Eeeehhh, the PS3 would PROBABLY look better on a 50inch". P.S. Denied, you just gained a lot of cool points for still having an actual NES/SNES/N64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakey Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Nice set up Denied. Wish I had my TV wall mounted, but just unsure about the ease of access to it and I'm fickle with placement and may want to move it..... Denied, we have the same big screen. Do you find that it makes FPS games a little distracting... Seems like with such a big screen, I have to actually move a little or make my eyes focus on a section of the screen, instead of as with a smaller one, having all of it almost in focus and centered.... Big screens rule, and I love mine, I'm just noticing that little draw back on FPS games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurkishBonanza Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hey there folks. Here is a pic from my Setup... I am using a 40 inch Samsung 8 series 3d TV. Right under it in the black place, i got the Harman Kardon amplifier, and next to it I got my PS3. Also on the floor I have the bass. I need to make sure that cable dissapears though. In the right corner you can see one of the speakers of the Harman Kardon 5+1 sound system. This is my living room and anything else is actually my wife's taste and design. I will try to attach a picture from the night time as I have hidden LED light blue to white lightes coming from above, Also I got the hidden regular spotlights. I will take a picture of them too. I find the led really good for watching movies and gaming. Also the cables going to the 5+1 back speakers are not wireless but I used hidden cables coming under the wood of the floor. Behind the TV, I used quartz stones that are actually giving me lots of relaxed moments. To make sure that the stones were coming out and make a statement, I decided to go with a different wall color (almost grayish but more bizon like), however the rest of the living room walls are white.

TurkishBonanza Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Thanks trolley. Got married 2 months ago 25th of December. We bought the house and started decorating it from 1st of September to 10th of December. Took a lot of time and money but it was worth it at the end. Gaming here relaxes me to be honest Its just when we have kids, white will be really tough to maintain clean. Also working with an interior designer from scratch helps a lot to be honest.

Also I forgot to tell that all my ps3 games (50+) are stored on the upper small white cabinets. They do not have any kind of handles but they open when you push them. The uppers ones open towards the ceiling and the lower ones open towards the floor. The bottom white cabinets are for storage of 3d glasses, charges, move, dualshock3s etc....
