The entertainment racks you have your consoles on are really nice! I have one quite similar - but only one. It leaves me in the unfortunate predicament of decided which consoles to have out at any given time. I hope to remedy the problem by hooking a few up to a future monitor or TV in my computer area. I figure a monitor would be nice to have for my Dreamcast and NTSC/J 360.

You also seem to suffer from a problem most people with many consoles have - wires. All those wires, and they can never seem to be neatly arranged.

Nonetheless, awesome collection. 8)

I've given up on trying to keep everything hooked up. Even when I did have everything hooked up, I'd still have to pull them off the shelf and find a place to put them so the controllers would reach.

So now I just have 2 switchboxes in my TV stand, one for RF, the other for AV, S-Video. When I want to "kick it old shool", I just take the system out of my closet and hook it up to the boxes. Takes half a minute. Only downside is that the systems aren't on display.

Yeah, I still wish I could get a few more consoles in the game room but the lack of space on the entertainment racks makes it difficult. I am also limited to the number of inputs on my tv. I already have three switchboxes hooked up to my tv. Two of the switchboxes are for AV inputs and one is RF. I also have my computer hooked up to the monitor.

It's for that exact reason that I always buy extension cables whenever I get a "new" console or controller. They usually aren't too hard to find (took me a while to realize you can use the Genesis ones with the 3DO) and they really have helped in keeping the collection all out on display.

I was happy to discover the genesis controller cords worked for my Master System and Atari 2600. Didn't know about the 3DO.
