Down below the TV. Yeah, I don't like the N64 on top of the PS2, but nowhere else to put it.

>>4186381
Bonus: beatle bro

>>4186383

Does a pet beetle really need that much space or are you just fattening him up as a welcoming feast for your ultimate aquarium pet?

>>4186403
idk about bugs but im kinda into fresh water aquariums and most people keep their lil guys in too small of a space. Like gold fish really need like 15-20 gallons.
to me the beetle looks like he could use a bit bigger tank

Old pic l because I didn't feel like cleaning up again for a new one. I just moved in 6 weeks ago and finally got this set up last week when I brought the TV stand home from Goodwill. Setup looks the same right now, not pictured is the Xbox, Dreamcast and SNES underneath.

I have a Genesis, Saturn and NES that I also want to get hooked up but I haven't worked out the details yet; I'll probably move the GCN and DC to the sides of my monitor, put one of the consoles on top, and might end up stacking one on top of the Hueg as well (the thing I hate about that is that the case of the Xbox isn't flat so whatever is on it is gonna be wobbly).

>>4186427
And forgot pic.
I'll try and take a better one that shows the whole thing when I have it finished.

working on it

it's not much, but it's mine

>>4186668
>6290

>>4186665
What case do you have for your PC?

>>4186681
Corsair Air 240

>>4186379
plushes?

>>4187248
Yeah. Venusaur is that comic con exclusive, otherwise they are just standard plush. Well, Blastoise and Venusaur were expensive, like $40 each.

>>4186403
The aquarium isn't that big, maybe 16 inches long, 10 inches wide.
I had a smaller one, but he just seemed to sit there and sleep all day. When I got the bigger aquarium, there was more room for random yard debris, and he seemed to like it a lot more.

He actually moves stuff around and explores quite a bit now.

Not much but that's all I got for now

>>4186403
>>4186408

Forgot to mention, it's called a Blue Feigning Death beetle.
Pic is not mine, just random google shit.

The dryer it is, the more blue they get. If it's humid, they look closer to black.

>>4187515
Not bad. Always wanted a SFC, always forget about it for some reason (Already own a SNES and emulate a lot of other stuff)

>>4186665
>>4186681
I like that case, seems like it has more room than your standard smaller form factor case. Seems like a lot of cases like that are not wide/deep enough.

How was it during the build?

>>4186434
Has potential. Do you have room for separate shelving for your games? If not, are you going to try some wall shelving?
What plans do you have for your battlestation in general?

>>4186668
Personally, that shit would stress me out. Too much shit crammed into one place.

>>4186429
What model tv is that?
>minimal, clean setup
>DBZ box set
>pokemon tcg tin
>classy looking CRT

Are you me?

>>4187532
I like the case but I don't enjoy working with it. The dual chamber design is honestly great but it's just a pain to work with. Aside from working on it the one thing I dislike about this case is that the top/side panel with the window can and will rattle if your fans spin up fast enough. I'm probably going to buy a case using Scandinavian minimalist design next.

This is mine.
I'm moving soon and will have more space to display my stuff and hook them up to my PVM 2530 that I have waiting for me.

Could be cleaner but it would be hard to fix at this point without restarting.

>>4187547
It's a PVM-20L2MD, I initially preferred the black and gray casings of the non-medical models but I didn't have any other options. Looking again, although it gets dusty easily, I love the aesthetic.
I wish I had a place for the Dragon Boxes but my shelves are Atlantic Summits, and they're not quite wide enough to house all 7 in a row.

>>4188945

Restart because it looks awful.

>>4188558
>in my opinion I think it looks great how it is and displaying more stuff would just be add clutter and distractions. anyway here's mine, I've given up on trying to have all my systems ready to go at nice so I've been just enjoying a few consoles at a time.

>>4190815
my bad didn't mean to greentext

This is my messy basement. I keep the dreamcast in the living room along with the laserdisc player and not-retro trash. Other consoles not working or in storage right now.

>>4186429
man that complete dragon box must have costed you a fortune

I try to keep it as clean as possible, since it's in my living space.
I still haven't plugged everything yet. The hifi furniture is a nice way to store the DVD and LD players, as well as the amp and DAC. And I love smoked glass.

>>4186379
I'd post but all you're going to see is an N64, a PS2, a PC with a couple of gamepads hooked up to it, and all my weed pipes

>>4186403
Now that's a setup! Shit, now I want a projector like that....

>ducting
Gardener? Ma nigga?

>>4191356
looks amazing friend

>>4191547
It's an unfinished basement which floods from time to time.

Ask your new buddy about his porch setup.

>>4191547
Nah it's just for the heat upstairs. I'd put up a ceiling but the people who originally excavated the cellar were some 19th century midgets. Bottom of the joists are 6 foot flat. If I were growing I'd just do it in the greenhouse. Nobody around here would give a fuck about a couple female clones.

>>4191620
It hasn't flooded since I corrected the gutters and had the drain ground out. I swear to God, try to tell an interesting story about an incident and people like you turn it into a defining characteristic.

Speaking of the porch, I just ordered 12 Happ buttons to get the Bally Sente MAME conversion underway. Ask me in a year about how that's progressing if you want something else to jot down for later shitting in your file on me.

>>4191632
Lol.

You really have nothing better to do than hanging around waiting for (You)s?

>>4191656
You can "hang around" while doing other stuff. We got modern technology and shit now.

Here's a shot out the window

Nice.

Where is this? Looks like Bavaria, where I grew up.

>>4191961
Vermont, USA

>>4191984
Only a couple of miles off, then. Pic related is what it looks like in eastern Bavaria. Also featuring: Cows.

What's the infrastructure there like?

>>4192003
Looks just like here.

There aren't many main roads, and those are clogged so going distances is tedious. Most of the area is small towns, with one metropolitan area that would be as big as a suburb outside a city like NYC. That's were most of the commercial and (what little of) industrial there is. Then the rest of Vermont is mostly small towns catering to rich people (like Stowe). Pic is what an avg town looks like

>>4191673
You clearly don't have an important job then.

If my boss caught me shitposting while I was supposed to be SABRe inspecting aero engine parts I'd be pretty much canned on the spot.

>>4186668
I sincerely hope you unblock the XB1's vents before using it.

>>4192102
Sounds cozy, but highly inconvenient.

>>4192114
I'm glad that makes you feel important, Anon. Everybody needs something.

>>4192114
Don't bother arguing with him, he's an eternally narcissist tripfag who notoriously wastes his days away shitposting on /vr/, feeding off the attention those reacting to him display.

Every time you reply, his ego becomes more powerful and he becomes a little more obnoxious.

You said you don'y give a fuck how shitty it is, huh

>>4192364
That'll do pig.

That'll do.

>>4192364
That'll do, pig.

That'll do.

>>4190873
I like it, still seems pretty well organized

>>4193152
Did you literally print out memes on paper and scotch tape them to your walls?

I really hope you live in Peru or something.

>>4192325
I'd sooner feel important by actually performing an objectively important function in society than adopting a persistent identity on an anonymous image board dedicated to childrens' pastimes and announcing myself as it's "saviour"...

>>4192347
Up to a point. They all crack in the end though :)

>>4193170

>>4193150

>>4193152
Nice CTM. Do you have a SCART adaptor cable for it?

Also, what's with the rack of 4" monochrome PVMs? I can't see they'd be much use other than as a shelf to stack other stuff on.

>>4193210
>typical Mortal Kombat player

>>4193216
>>4193216
I got the 4 monitor rack for a quid from some bloke who was clearing out ex BBC assets.
I was gonna run 4 virtual machines and split to footage acroos the 4. Still need to.

Monitors run VGA
Telly has RGB SCART
Getting a new telly soon with VGA and a PAL plus picture tube.

>>4193221
Yeah but what about the Amstrad.

Getting an FD1E then. Been toying with the idea myself but no room for the time being lol.

>>4193192
What makes you think my pseudonymous identity on a single low-post board on a 100+ ranked website is a significant source of confidence for me? I've just gotten a lot from 4chan over the years and on this one particular board I actually have a lot to give back so I do. You'll never "crack" me because I am completely assured of my legitimacy here. You'll never make me feel unappreciated because I help people every day and if you bust your ass to prove me wrong on something then good for you and good for the board too since you'll be posting on topic but this thing you're doing now? You're wasting your time.

>>4193152
Now this is interesting. Is that a tube amp? Have you considered a Dreamcast?

>>4193152
>total of 3 lava lamps
>huge Gordian knot of cables
>printed out memes

amazing

Cozy

Now with the recently acquired trinitron, found it sitting in the streets a few weeks ago.
A bit small but it fits into my setup just fine.

>>4192364
Assuming you also have a fridge and a mattress thats not so bad. Neaten up your cables a bit though dude !

>>4193152
Should have x5470s in there

>>4193274
>picture
I see what you did there and it's typically smug and self-congratulatory as I've come to expect from you.

Doesn't see much use without 3 other people.

>>4193557
Looks comfy af. I want something similar but poorfag atm and now it almost doesnt seem worth it getting into retro so late, what with ecelebs ruining everything. Any advice for a poor student wanting to start a modest retro collection? Ive obviously emulated a lot in the past and im doing alright with retro pc games, but I want a more authentic experience cuz I just love that stuff

>>4186379
cute plushies and nice TV

>>4188558

Thanks. Grew it myself.

>>4191624
How fuckin hot is that basement

>>4193780
Not very. Note the additional electric radiator sitting there. It stays pretty cool down there even in the summer and probably much more so since I just installed a brand new fuck hueg 25k btu AC yesterday.

>>4186379
It's usually the same guys posting a different picture of their old battlestation so I thought about uploading one from myself. Mobile pics get turned the wrong way because of EXIF data strip or something, right? Is there a better way to make a picture and upload it here?

Here's part of mine. I can't figure a way to have my Atari and Amiga set up comfortably without getting a proper desk set up. I'll post a better picture later if anyone cares.

>>4193871
How about throwing out one of your two N64s?

>>4191241
They're the American releases, I got them as they came out and went on sale at RightStuf. I think I paid about $25 for boxes 2-5, $40 for 1 and $30 for 6/7.

>>4193904
Well obviously he should do that anyway but...

Not sure how a keyboard-based system is going to work with a fucking glass door in front of it.

>>4193904
Ones PAL, the white one is NTSC.

>>4186403
That's a pretty rad setup but how is your spider situation down there?

>>4193862
Only certain phones cause the images to flip, iPhones are the main ones. You could always take the photo with your phone, and then rotate it on your computer and post from there.

>>4193926
So throw out the PAL garbage.

>>4193673
You can find retro stuff in the streets, this is the fourth CRT I found, the first im keeping though.
Also I found a xbox huge in the street, not retro.
Get the message to your friends and family, someone will have something.
check out flea markets and second hand electronics stores, finaly, just save up money and get a console of amazon.

>>4193945
Yea ok then and what am I supposed to play my 200 or so PAL carts on?

>>4193945
>>4193904
>Notices two N64s
>"lul dude throw it away"
>Doesn't notice the two 3DOs

>>4193990
The idea is you throw them away too dummy

>>4194006
Two 3DOs are a more powerful warning from history though.

>>4194006
Stealth mode. I've actually got 7 megadrives shoved down the back too.

>>4193990
>he collected for PAL format
I'm sorry.

>>4186429
Finally got my consoles squared away, I'd have liked to have gotten my PS1 plugged in but it's redundant with the PS2. Unfortunately only the SNES, GCN and Dreamcast are thin enough to put next to the PVM or in the middle on the first shelf, so I had to do more stacking than I hoped but Saturn and NES are like the same size and the Genesis slots into the Xbox's moulding very nicely.

>>4194114
>Sega not sitting on top of another Sega with another Sega on top of that Sega

what did he mean by this?

Finally scored a Panasonic BT-H390Y for a steal.

Can't wait.

>>4194135
Segas are all top loaders though, stacking them is stupid.

I amazed how little some of the anons here give a fuck a fuck about a comfy setup.
I assume most people here spend the majority of their free time at their battlestations, yet I see a lot of dirty and uncomfortable setups.

baka

>>4193928
Well there are two types of spiders that were indigenous to the basement. One is this extremely spindly almost transparent kind that live in the rafters and weave very fine cobwebs. Once in a while one will drop straight down in an attempt to wait to be blown somewhere and start a web and if you're unlucky they might do it right on you while you sit there which is only scary right in front of your face. If they actually land on you you can barely even feel them and would probably just think one of your body hairs was tickling you, scratch it and demolish the spider without ever being aware of him.

The other variety is the problem. A. Hogni, huge fucking black hairy wolf spiders that roamed the floor and would also run up the walls. Some of them had leg spans the size of a girls hand. Happily ever since I brought my cat they seem to have gone from hunters to hunted or maybe it's the flea spray but I haven't seen one of those monsters since /vr/ has been a thing just an occasional smaller brown one that comes upstairs out of the ducts the first time I run the furnace for the year. Unfortunately the most common place to find those guys is on a bed for some reason

>>4194227

>>4191624
what kind tv is that? (the one mounted)

>>4194392
It's an old ass Ilo branded for Walmart plasma PDP42101EA1 also sold as a Viore. Made by some unknown Korean factory. I bought it at Goodwill in 2011 for $10. Its tuner doesn't work, its HDMI doesn't work and it has some kind of hilariously low native resolution of like 800x600 but it scales down 720p or even 1080p to it and the VGA input and component both work fine and the latency is really low so it's good for gaming, very intense colors and as long as I don't ask too much out of it it chugs right along. Good for retro computer gaming too once I pulled the right pin out of the VGA cable and it stopped identifying itself as incompatible with its own native resolution.

>>4186403
Jesus Christ anon, clean this room, fix the ceiling and fix the walls.

>>4195361
I fixed the walls before I moved in they were crumbling cinder block. I had rebar set, built forms and poured a new foundation. Also there's no ceiling to fix.

>>4194315
Yikes I just looked up the hogni, damn things are terrifying. If they are technically a variant of wolf spider, am I correct in assuming they are nonvenomous to humans?
We don't have many spiders but one we do is the brown recluse. I just set a up a barrage of sticky traps and have already caught 8 of the little devils in the past few weeks. I'll post my station when it gets set up. Just got a Sony pvm but I'm waiting for a few cords to arrive.

So you like being an unwashed, dirty, sow in your mother's basement?

>>4193230
What's the Sony on the far right?

I had a friend who was into collecting CRTs before me who had a similar model. It looked fantastic but his collection's size must have annoyed his parents, who threw out his entire stock when he went off to Uni.

My setup is kind of in a transition at the moment. My desk setup is fine, but the Trinitron setup needs some work. I need to go get a real full size shelf and a new entertainment center/TV stand. Desk monitor is Amiga 1080 with RGB. Trinitron KV24FS120 on the stand, all the consoles are now hooked up via switchers. PS2, SNES, Genesis/Saturn, and Wii through YPbPr. NES, Famicom, N64, and Dreamcast through composite and S-Video, accordingly.

>>4195568
Yeah, they were absolutely the most horrifying spider I'd ever seen. My Mom told me stories about waking up to find giant black wolf spiders on her bed (this is the house she grew up in I took after my grandma died) but I assumed she was exaggerating typical outdoor brown striped wolf spiders. I don't know if I'd have been as upset about a freaking tarantula or Australian mouse spider since both of those are slower. Wolf spiders can run like the wind. Part of me regrets never capturing any of the very large examples before the cats and I eradicated them but if you fail to get them after their initial spider-freeze they dash at a speed equivalent to a fast walk and they're extremely nimble and good hiders. All spiders are venomous but to my understanding their bite is about honeybee tier and unlike tarantulas, mouse spiders, brown recluses, black widows, funnel webs etc their first defense instinct is running away. As hunter type bugs I respect them and don't kill them when I see them outside. In fact, I just encountered a 1.5 incher running in front of the entrance to the local thrift store just Tuesday where I could have easily stepped on him but I didn't. I can't have them terrorizing the occupants of my house though - especially/despite being the biggest, blackest ones I ever saw.

>>4194315
There's one kind here, not sure of the name, but its body is the size of a fingernail, and it moves very fast. It also bites during my sleep. A couple times I've woken up while its running up my leg and killed them (how I know what they look like).

>>4196287
Sounds like the tree spiders I have that sometimes become car spiders if you park in the wrong place with your windows open.

>>4195775
It's a KX-27PS1 aka Profeel. I paid the extreme sum of £5 to save it. Would have been taken to the dump otherwise even though it works perfectly.

I also have the 20" in storage. It needs repairs to the power supply but is in otherwise fantastic condition and was liberated from the guy who bought it new in '81.

>>4196401
That TV set feels so 80s. Would love to get that if I didn't already have a full set of consumer TV, VCR and DVD player.

How shitty choice. You live with monitors + yellow lamb. You're eyes getting wrecked day by day
