Wow man I LOVE the setup. I would totally copy it if I could lol. Only thing I would try to do is find a way to keep dust off of systems. Probably would be too costly and impracticable to do it in a manner that looks decent though.

[GamingTheSystems]

@GamerMatwevias For whatever reason, dust isn't much of an issue in that room, but if it became a concern I could put a curtain over the front of the entire setup to keep the dust out. The hooks on the curtain would be easy to attach to the chrome shelf. The easiest thing to do would be to get a dice duster with a long handle.

@GamingTheSystems Meant to say "nice duster"

[LudwigNyman]

Reminds me of something i overheard recently:" Are you married? Not anymore." This really is kind of epic. The Light gun issue: Isn't that exclusive to non-gloss screens? But i generally agree, it's still hard to beat a good crt, but it wouldn't cost much effort thought to hook up a nice big rear-projector in addition to the current one good quality ones really are kind of nice.

[GamingTheSystems]

@LudwigNyman About the light gun issue, the light guns depend on the low refresh rate of older CRT TVs to work (60 Hz in America). LCD and plasma refresh faster and in a different way, so light guns don't work on them at all. Some high end, late release CRTs also have problems because of a higher than 60 Hz refresh rate. While I haven't heard much about screen glossiness, it is probably a separate issue.

Hoooly shiiiit...... how many consoles have you got? Nice collection, just need a bigger and better tv :P

[GamingTheSystems]

@XxKYFERxX Thanks for the compliment.  It's 25 consoles. As for the TV, it's 36" and I wouldn't want it to be any bigger than that. As for a "better" TV, I might get one that doesn't have the language screen that I show in the video, but no LCD or plasma if that's what you're referring to.

@GamerMatwevias Im in the same boat as you man, I cant find anything like those ready shelves. I went on their website but it says that they dont sell directly to consumers.

[Soundwave925]

wow awesome set up man, im gonna have to pick up some of those shelves. would you mind telling me how tall each shelf is? thanks

[Majora99]

I like the idea of the trays for the controller cables, been looking form something like that.

[KevinArcade]

@GamingTheSystems Sony Trinitron is the best :)

[GamerMatwevias]

I'm trying to find some kinda of item that could substitute for the redi-shelves you use to tuck the controller wires since I cant seem to find the redi-shelves anywhere. If you or anyone who is reading these comments thinks of anything that would be greatly appreciated!! Been checking around alot.
