Bedroom(Tower of Power 1): slim ps2, ps3, xbox, sega genesis 2, dreamcast, super nintendo(with super gameboy), nintendo 64, and NES. Did have the atari 2600 in there but I moved it to the computer room. Have two 2600s closeted right now so one might get tossed back in there if I ever get another power adapter.

PC Room(Tower of Power 2): Gamecube(with gameboy player), Xbox, Silver slim ps2, and Atari 2600.

Living Room: Xbox 360, slim PS3, Wii, and my old fat PS2.

Closeted: Atari 2600 Woody and Jr. , PS1, and PSOne.

I have alot of a/v and RF switch boxes to say the least. I keep the power cords hooked up on multiple power strips which I switch out depending on which systems I am using.

Really need to update my game room page :P. Been meaning to forever.

Someday I hope to have a large enough game room to keep... I dunno.... at least a fourth of this stuff hooked up at all times.

Excuses. I live in a small Manhattan studio, and I have hooked up PS2, Xbox, NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii, Ouya, Master System, Genesis/SegaCD/32X, Saturn, Dreamcast, and 7800. The PC Engine, whenever it gets will, will also be hooked up, and as soon as I mount my TV, so will the NGCD and a record player. All on the same TV Stand, in—again—a small Manhattan studio.


All of my stuff is in a tiny bedroom.

I would move stuff to the living room and more common areas... but we frequently have visitors here. And to be frank, I don't want them touching my stuff.

I only have 3 HDMI inputs and 1 Component/Composite input which should be used for Dreamcast/cable box/64/360/DVD player/Wii/VHS player , and I have pulling the wires out and back in everytime I switch


I use system selectors with A/V cords. You can get them VERY cheap at Big Lots. And I use power strips. I also have a nice shelf that was probably designed for nick-nacks, but I have each little cubby-hole filled with a different console, and the T.V. on top.

I have EVERYTHING I own below down in my signature hooked up to one T.V. at all times (not counting the handhelds, of course), except for my Wii which is out in the living room because it's the Netflix box.

I'd like to see behind your TV stand, Burning.

Yeah, it's a web of wires. But it works and it's a whole lot easier than unhooking and hooking up multiple systems, since I still play all mine.

D'oh, I forgot that you have to be a member to see the forums.

Can I come live in your apartment?

I thought this was a repo post at first and couldn't stop laughing.

That said, tell them to avoid Russia at all costs.


Well, I had a good laugh even if nobody else did apparently. :lol:
