Post your Gaming Setups

I'm 2 years into a PhD at the moment, and I stay there all year round. My room's located in a very secure area for graduate students so there's no chance of any of it getting stolen. I wouldn't keep so much stuff if I was an undergraduate.

Bush TV from Aldi bought for the princely sum of ?150 after seeing it advertised in the paper. Can't say im entirely happy with it as the quality is **** but i have a tv to play games on and it even transmits television channels!

Immaculate Panasonic Q modded, Crystal Ltd Ed Xbox (unchipped), recently bought back N64 and the load of games iv bought in the far left. Donkey Konga drums also shown (cant wait for Donkey Konga 2 out in a few weeks!)

Xbox games also shown on the floor in the bottom left. They are the only 4 games i play on Live. Heh. I'm trying to be good and sell the rest i dont need.

So I've made some rather large changes to my setup:

New TV and the addition of a Supergun with built-in screen.

[SuperBrother]

Nice setup there Naiera, quick question if you don't mind.

I see your new Sony sits nicely on the famous Ikea TV bench, is it the 28" or 32"?
I have that TV in 32" but from my rough measurements in store I didn't think it would fit.

[Naiera]

It's 32". The back of the TV sticks out over the bench, though.

Here's three pictures of my PAL setup in my bedroom. Not particulary 56kbps friendly (images between 200k and 450k).

Might see if I can grab some shots of my main setup downstairs.

Got quite a bit planned for the bedroom setup yet, I've still got to make up the adaptor I need for my projector to do RGB and component [for progressive scan:-)]. Currently the only cables running to the projector are the power cable and the VGA cable from the PC. Every console (apart from the Mastersystem mk2) is run thriugh the AV reciever with the composite output from the reciever piped into the PC on the bottom shelf (the white cube under the dreamcast). As you can imagine, it doesn't give the greatest display possible from the consoles (jeese I'm only using composite to start with) but combined with DScaler on the PC, it is pretty sharp :-)

Am definately going to have to invest in some cable tidies though, there are far too many horrible black cables visable behind and next to the PC :-(

My green modded xbox, sony 1070 amp and a pair of cheap speakers and an out of shot 21" Sony tv.

The space in the middle is normally either taken up by HK N64 or my modded Saturn, but they've been boxed up for the moment.

Pic 2 - http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~gavinr/2.jpg

Sky+, Panasonic DVD Player (RA82 for DVD Ram playback), Panasonic DVD Recorder, Pansonic Q, Joytech AV Centre and one of those de facto Argos RGB Switchers (for changing DVD Recorders input signal).

I need more inputs

Unmodded crystal xbox, PAL PS2, US Dreamcast and small network hub.

Pic 4 - http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~gavinr/5.jpg

LG Home Cinema Kit (works very well in a small enough room) and Sony 28" widescreen... a nice of shot from Test Drive Le Mans which I've started playing again.

how do you find your tv?


and what ps2 scart cable do you find best

[ezg]

Yeah it looks exactly the same

It has done me proud over the last two and a half years, as per every Sony TV I've had no problems with anything I've plugged into it.

On the PS2 I'm using one of my old PS1 cables, it gives me a nice picture and I've not had any problems yet.

[Astra]

heres mine, nothing special & done on a very limited budget

http://uploader.co.uk/images/myconsoles.jpg

only very small selection of games show because i have no proper games storage at the mo so there all stacked in my wardrobe along with 2 n.e.s's a snes another megadrive 2, another saturn and a stack of pads etc

so when i sort some proper sotrage out ill update

I love that little set up. Sony make ace little TVs don't they? That's probably one of my favourite set ups I've seen for a while. Nice and neat and tidy, and all in one place. Good job.

is that to me? if so cheers

yer the tv's alright its only a 21" tho but ive only got a box room so cant have a huge tele. shame its damaged where someone dropped a door on it when the room was about to be decorated (right speaker cover)

[Ginger Tosser]

Excellent choice of TV!

I was looking a that tv/hifi rack in ikea and i think you've answered a question for me.

Good setup aswell

[007]

I'm still really loving that setup. I've looked at it like 5 times now.

I hope when I go to Uni i'll have a setup like that. How much roughly is one of those Tvs? They look like they produce a great picture.

My setup's a bloody mess at the moment, loads of tangled up cables all over the floor and dust everywhere. I'm going to need a soapy wet cloth after I've spent 2 days untangling everything. I might take a pic tonight for the crack.

I'm sticking with my PSOne + screen + FFVII for the 5th time thru at the mo' because I can't be arsed with the mess. I desperatley need to find my Neo RGB cable so that I can play Real Bout but I simply can't be arsed.

I need to get back to VJ as well at some point. Fcuk knows where my Wavebird receiver is.
