Not the most advanced setup in the world: I have my consoles set-up in the conservatory so I don't have to disturb the other half whilst she's watching TV!
Here's the only 'before' shot I can find; the SNES is just out of shot in the bottom right of the picture (under the wooden top):

And this is it now:

And I also backlit the console sections so I can have them illuminated if I'm playing into the night, but also make's a nice feature when we have friends over etc.

The pads/carts I keep in a drawer out of site to minimise clutter. The TV is a Sony 32", the unit and lighting are from Ikea, the Scarts are on a Scart switch so no fiddling with wires. I also got some white hardboard from a local timber merchants so I could back the Ikea unit and keep the wires hidden.
Nowt ott, just nice and simple for me! I like simple, I made my Mac desk from scratch too. Show's my OCD and right angle tendencies off
