The boxes will be replaced with a desk eventually that I can do modding work and video filming with.

Just been in the process of buying other stuff first..

Lol I didn't think it would stay that way

[speedlolita]

Nope. Just rearranged some stuff to make more space.

My updated setup. Definitely a bit slap-dash at the moment, the consoles are hanging off of the table! I could push the consoles back, but I want to allow as much space at the back as possible.



I try to keep a relatively minimal setup. PS4 for current gen, PS3 for previous gen, and a softmodded Wii (plus USB hard drive) for emulation and retro (as well as region free Wii and GameCube, of course).

Below the TV is a gaming laptop connected via HDMI - this is getting a bit long in the tooth now, and is unlikely to be replaced in the near future (hence the PS4 purchase). You can also see a Vita and 3DS in their cases.

The TV is similarly dated - Sharp 32" LCD HDTV with 1366x768 native resolution (supports up to 1080p input however, and the speakers are the best I've ever heard on a TV). On the right hand side is a little HDMI switch.

One day, I will invest in a nice unit to put all the consoles in, upgrade the TV, maybe replace the Wii with a softmodded WiiU, and make the whole thing much prettier. For now, this does the job lovely.

That is definitely a Japanese place, I swear every foreigner ends up buying one of those tables at one point.

I have that table because it was given to me for free! I'd quite like to upgrade to a proper TV unit some day, with all the consoles nicely under the telly instead of hanging off the front.

Yeah I had a trip to Ikea this weekend and bought a nice TV cabinet as my 11month lad was touching everything, will post pics soon. Everything is nice and hidden now.

I've been proper geeking it up! I've got a 4 in 2 out HDMI Matrix switcher with the ability to watch different things on each of the 2 outputs. I've got Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Wii U going in and on output 1 it goes to my main TV on the cabinet, and on output 2 I've introduced a wireless HDMI sender going to the upstairs TV so I can play all the connected consoles upstairs too. Wireless controllers are a godsend.

Is there not lag complications with the wireless sender?

[MarioMark]

I expected some input lag but I've not noticed any so far.

I did have one occasion where the Xbox One controller dropped out signal but 360 was solid which surprised me.

[stevie vip 99]

Which wireless HDMI sender do you use? That sounds like a bit of kit I could get on board with

[MarioMark]

The wireless sender was a freebie I got from my work as the remote control infra red return had some issues so we've stop selling them for now, but I won't be using the IR anyway.

As for the HDMI matrix they're readily available on ebay

[Cheeseman Battitude]

There are some great setups in here
