To celebrate the completion of my console collection (maybe) I decided to make this video. All the systems work and are in pretty good shape.

I started collecting seriously in 2006 after watching JamesNintendoNerd on YouTube. At the time, all I had was my PS2 slim.

It took me four years to get to this point. I don't make a lot of money, so I had to be patient and look for deals at garage sales, thrift stores, flea markets and classified ads. My general rule was not to spend more than $20 on any one system. I had to bend that rule on occasion for rare systems like the Heavy Sixer, NES Top Loader, and the CDX, otherwise, I think I followed it pretty well.

I purchased my shelving at Lowe's or Home Depot...I can't remember which. Basically, all I had to do was fasten a metal track at the top and attach three support beams. Pretty easy.

EDIT: I've been getting a lot of questions like, "Why don't you have a (insert system here) or a (insert system here)?" Forgive me, I should have explained this in the video.

By and large I only own systems that I came into contact with at some point during my childhood. Some I owned before but a lot of them I just played at a friends house or at Toys R Us. There are other great systems not on these shelves, but since I don't have any personal attachment to them, they are no in my collection. In a sense, I am collecting my memories, not just systems. Thanks for watching!

  • no 360 no p3 no psx

  • i agree with frozenintears.. really weak collection.. no 3dos no jag, jag cd, no turbo grafx16/cd no neo-geo i could go on and on

  • umm...where is turboGrafx 16? probably the greatest console ever made. Where is TurboDuo? where is Neo Geo? 3DO? DUORX?

    really dissapointed in your weak selection. You don't have many great consoles.
