is that a new geo on the top white shelf?
its huge! I forgot how big that thing is, and how come its controllers got a red button?

Can you show me how you manage the elecric wires for this thing, and the AV switch. I always wanted to know how many wires out there in a setup like this.

I have 2 consoles on a tv and things get complicated

yeah, that's the neo geo! it's not really TOO big, just about as long as a 360. :] the controllers have red buttons because they're neo-geo CD joysticks, which i actually prefer over the normal AES-model sticks. call me crazy, i guess!

the wires around the back of the cabinet are somewhat frightening, and are daisy chained across 5 (!) A/V switches on top of the cabinet. these will be replaced with a couple 8-input A/V switches not too long from now.

here are some unflattering pictures of the wiring regardless (pretend you didn't see these!):

i don't tie the wires up in the back because i don't want to strain them too much, and since i'll soon be re-wiring for new switches, no point in getting things permanent yet.

That room looks very comfy. It reminds me a lot of my room at my parents house back when I just got into college.

totally! bedframes are such a hassle to move when you have to, i don't see the point! a mattress and a floor is just as comfy... and a lot cheaper! thanks!

It looks like an old switchboard with all those selectors? It is hard to use? :)

Do you have any recommendations for av switch, I have a problem too with component and composite wires here.

Plus is it or is it NOT dangerous to have so many electric plugs all together like this?
