That's not how you spell cringe

Is that a limited edition Gamecube or just some decal sticker?

>>7065202
Cringe on the fagemon skin on the Gamecube, but otherwise, very soulful.

>>7065202
nice rare tv

>>7065723
Oh man, I didn't notice that it was an NEC TV. Nice, but that anon need to hook a Coregrafx or PC Engine up to it, stat.

>>7065779
You need to sell some of that shit.

>>7065798
Yeah, probably. There's a lot more than just that.

>>7065860
Looks comfy except for the cables on the ground.
It need bean bags and more blankets.

>>7066043
Agreed. That space has a ton of potential, just needs to be cleaned up and organized.

>>7066086
Area rug, some tapestries and you've got me.
Cute cat too.

>>7066086
Looks quite comfortable, cute cat too but he looks overweight. Get him some exercise please.

>>7065779
Radiator keeps your drink warm, nice

>>7066097
>>7066105
You soys and your cats.

I started xenogears recently

>>7066086
I wish I had the storage space/fortitude to keep such few stuff around for such a clean aesthetic

>>7065772
>>7065779
Havent seen you in ages

>>7065202
Reminds me of the setup I had in high school, minus the Wii.

>>7066169
I know right? Sixth gen now, crazy

>>7066057
There's more stuff stored down there now and a lot more cables. Spending all my game time at pic related with the boys.

Will probably be starting construction of my final resting place in the next couple years

>>7066105
the pic is actually pretty old. shes much slimmer now

>>7065779
Why do you need so many of the same console ? Are you future proofing ?

>>7066689
Nice.

>>7065772
>it rubs the lotion on its skin

Moving into my new place tomorrow, and was looking through fb marketplace hoping to find a deal for a good tv stand for my vintage media setup and found this jem nearby for only $35.

I think I found a new home for my PVM 2530 guys, just hope that the attached APM speakers will squeeze in.

>>7065779
damn thats cozy

>>7066714
I just buy cheap shit when I see it.

>>7066889
Post results please

>>7066940
And for mods too it seems.

>>7066974
Most of the mods are vintage but I'll probably start installing drive emulators in the near future.

>>7066889
So it is this thing.
Once i saw the price of pvms. I just decided to buy a 9inch one
Even if its not what i wanted.

>>7066986
Buy a consumer Trinitron with YPbPr component in and use a $50 scart transcoder

>>7066986
Dude that’s literally mine LMFAO

>>7066994
Is that a DVL-919? I have one too since 1999. Had to grease the drive in it one, works ok.
Nice setup too, anon.

*once
Now that I'm here again, regardless of how nice they look, I think PVMs are a meme. Yes I do believe that my 1980 13" Sampo is just as good.

>>7067009
The laserdisc? Yeah it’s okay, plays movies fine when it works, but it’s really finicky about how the disc is placed in the tray, else wise it won’t read them and pop the tray out again. The dvd part doesn’t work but that’s what the Denon is for. I got it for free from a friend of my father’s, and I swear on my life that when I popped the tray open the first time, there was a dvd of Midget Porn still in there!

>>7066991
How would the scart transcoder make the picture quality better ?

>>7066889
Okay so the width of the tv area on the inside is about 28”, and the 2530 is about 27” with the speakers folded inward. While it’ll fit, it will effect the sound of the speakers since they’d be directly facing the wood. I could detach them and place them elsewhere in the unit, but eeehhh... I’m anal about shit like that.

Any suggestions guys?

>>7067145
I'm presuming what's holding you back from using a consumer CRT over a 9 inch PVM is the former's lack of RGB in the US.

>>7065779
>watching cartoons
That’s creepy as shit

>>7066086
Sofa looks low tier

>>7066134
Nothing wrong with cats you fucking homo

>>7067339
You would rather I watch maybe reality TV? I basically watch only cartoons when I do watch TV alone so take it up with >>>/co/. It's getting to the point my 7 year old asks me why I only like cartoons since he doesn't seem to want to watch scifi/fantasy movies and he's too young for crime movies.

>>7067339
Nigga why are you hating on the fucking Loony Toons?

>>7067459
>implying loony tunes isn't kino
off yourself

>>7067468
wrong anon, my bad

>>7067339
It's fucking OG Bugs Bunny. The intended audience was adults. Any literal boomer will tell you they showed them before any movie in a theater.

Donald Trump will rightfully win his presidency.

>>7067619
I feel weird
but its a good kind of weird

>>7067619
>Donald Trump will win
Completely off topic, but based regardless. He knew this fraud was coming and is collecting the evidence to expose all of it and retake the WH.

Also beautiful PC setup anon, I’ve been kinda wanting to build a Win98 machine for a bit now.

Could be better, but I got the wire shelf for $5 at a yard sale so I can't complain.

>>7067725
>>7067619
>retard original hardware autsits with shit taste in aesthetics
>muh drumpf will still win!
Yeah, there's some sad cringe.

>>7065202
Well lads, what system should I hook up to this little bad boy first?

>>7067305
Can they be mounted on the outside of the unit? Or... maybe you.coukd cut circles out around the cones in the wood. Maybe this isn't the unit you need after all =(

>>7067770

depends on what's available. id go for nintendo or playstation but in the end thats up to you.

>>7067913
Hey Deagan are those Proud Family figures above Sonic?

>>7067770
Saturn

>>7067619
Cope harder. Although I have to say love the desk and the Macintosh. Always wanted to have a Win 98 PC build but can't justify the space it would use.

>>7065779
I'm kicking around the idea of getting that Zelda Game and Watch, but they're fucking expensive. Either that or one of the first series like Octopus.

>>7067994
just emulate

>>7067619
>>7067725
cope but nice setups

>>7067619
confirmed

>>7067770
Looks like a perfect place for an N64

>>7065202
looked it up huh

>>7067994
I was going to suggest the mini classics reissue from 1998 but I see it's also become shockingly expensive. Just get a mini classic version of like Cement Factory unless you know for a fact you'll play an LCD game. The Zelda is neat but there's no damn way it's worth $500. I got it for $2 at a yard sale and it even still had the plastic film on it.

>>7068029
Discrete displays look very different. Piezos sound different. It's not worth what people pay since these prices these days have to be more about "clout" than authenticity - but authenticity IS worth SOMETHING, Anon.

>>7067641
Join the weird club.
>>7067725
Thank you fellow good taste patriot anon. Your triple wood grain setup is yule-log levels of comfy and Zenith is the brand of choice for aesthetic chads.
>>7067747
>original hardware boomer with impeccable taste
I know you're just jelly chief, and my blimpf did win.
>>7067927
I've never heard of coping with victory before. Vintage set-ups are a lot of fun and take you back to being a kid again if you grew up in the beige times. My Performa 6300cd here is in mint working order, but I actually have the monitor hooked up to my windows gaming laptop so I can use it as an all-in-one media hub but I use it as my main PC (it takes FOUR adapters to actually get this to properly display an image from an HDMI source, fuck DB-15). If you are thinking about getting into retro-computing, now is the time before it gets too expensive. The previous owner was a literal baby-boomer man's man type and the only game pre installed was god damn Devil's Island Fantasy Course. Golf fags are something.
>>7068058
Thank you commie <3

>Your triple wood grain setup is yule-log levels of comfy and Zenith is the brand of choice for aesthetic chads.
Oh stop it you flatter me! Yes Zenith Space Command as aesthetic as fuck.
That tv and consoles are all boxed up, but I just moved into my new place today, and the first thing I did was hook up my PVM 2530 to make sure it survived the trip safely. I’m happy to report that

IT

IS

ALIVE!!!

>>7067725
>this level of cope
imagine believing that a rapist rich dementia patient that wears adult diapers is about to execute some 4d chess plan in the last months of his presidency

>>7069014
>a rapist rich dementia patient that wears adult diapers

I’m sorry but I think you’ve got VSGEOTUS mixed up with Sleepy Joe Hidden Biden

>>7067619
I think this is the only setup in these threads that I actually saved to my computer. Good job, this looks beautiful.

>>7069075

>>7066986
you and i use the same 8 way A/V splitter

20" CRT - desk or stand setup? Which would you say is comfier?

Now we can discuss ps2, I can state ive played through both Max Payne games this week and had a blast.

>>7069396
max payne on the fucking ps2?

>>7069282
Arcade cabinet :D

>>7069406
I did that too. PC is the way to go.

>>7069443
What about XBox?

>>7066086
Very nice! Love the coffee table.

I found a small (9 inches maybe) Panasonic PVM-style monitor at a recycling joint, and the guy is asking 30. It seems to only have composite. If I jew him down to 20, would it be worth it? Hell, is it even worth it in general?

>>7065202
Phwoar i got the same tv
Like how you can play tetris on it lol

>>7070534
9” is really really small unless you’re planning on putting it on your nightstand or something like that. I’d pass.

>>7070534
I wouldn't use a CRT smaller than 13". Those small 7-9" sets are cute for all of 5min and then you never want to use them again. Only practical use would maybe be like a college dorm where space is really limited and you need to compromise, but even then I'd still really try to make a 13" work.
20" is the real sweet spot imo.

>>7069927
>That B&O set
I really wish we got those in the states, that thing looks slick.

Sorry 'bout the mess

>>7067736
Is the NeoSD any good ? Leaning towards buying one

>>7067736
How good is the NeoSD? I may buy one

>>7067619
Do you live in a vaporwave office building?

>>7069396
Every time I'm surprised the CRT didn't fall through all this Ikea cardboard.
Also I would have chosen another led color.
Very clean otherwise nice job

Nice dadbod too.

>>7071013
>those retro gamer mags
you're a pretty based guy, UK based? Because I commend you for even attempting to play our shitty old 50 Hz consoles, I'm assuming some of those are modded

>>7070985
Not sure about the regular NeoSD, but the Pro version has Neo Geo CD support so you can play the few exclusives on an Aes.

>>7070009
anon i want to buy you a new chair
gimme ur venmo

>>7071013
Lmao at this fat balding manlet in the tv reflection

>>7071489
I fucking love that chair. It reclines just enough and with just the right amount of resistance. The wood in the seat started to split so I reinforced it with 1/8 in. thick aluminum plate.
There's a couch with an ottoman out of frame. I pull the ottoman up if I want something else to sit on but I rarely ever do.

>>7066976

>>7067045
Different DVL-919 anon here, trying popping the top off and greasing everything.

>>7067619
Aesthethic af

>>7067736
Ruined by the flashcarts
Except for the neo geo because fuck those prices

>>7071515
The other DVL-919 anon here again and this^
Use silicon grease, but if you don't have that Vaseline works too. My player started going "ca-CHUNK" inside because there's a metal piece that goes past a plastic piece and its grease had dried out.

>>7071504
>The wood in the seat started to split so I reinforced it with 1/8 in. thick aluminum plate.
RIP your gooch. Get a comfy padded gamer chair, for the love of God.

>>7065202
I wish i had the space for a crt but i currently dont so i play all my consoles on a flatscreen

Defenitly planning on getting one in the long run tho

>>7071527
My gooch is fine. I'm not fat and I've been using the chair for over 10 years with no discomfort. The aluminum is underneath the seat, keeping the wood from flexing.
Comfy padded gaming chair is unnecessary as I have a comfy gaming chair.

>>7071542
Kek

Thats one way to do it

>>7071003
I had a smaller (22 inch) crt on it for about a year and nothing went wrong but yeah, it freaks me out too so I made sure the tv is over the vertical bit on the side, just in case. There are some L brackets on the back too, but they prob amount to nothing.

>>7071542

>>7071542

>>7071045
Actually I'm a frenchfag. Master System, Megadrive, saturn and SNES are modded and able to play jp and PAL60 so far.

Always appreciate a beige PC in BST threads. Nice collection

i unironically almost bought one of these & now that they're priced out of reach (not monetarily, but the amount im willing to pay for what it actually is) still glad i chose other systems over it.
odyssey 2 is miles ahead and a fraction of the price


if this is somehow a legitimate setup i'd advise putting the dolls in a dustproof case anywhere else & unplugging the system until its needed
also probably store it in the box & move the box out of sunlight into a cool/dry place

Was ready for the scrapheap when it found its way to me. Rebuilt from the circuit board through to cosmetics. Luckily found a contact in Japan that had some genuine new old stock, trap door, CD drive assembly, lasers ect. It's mint now, one of my all time favourites

>>7073631
It's a pvm 2950q. Got it years ago before they became popular with retro gaming. Lived most of it life at a local TV station, didn't get used much and they pretty much gave it away.

>>7073585
Its legit. The dolls and the other deco crap are nothing of worth so there is no need to store them properly. The Odyssey is not plugged in, only the controllers. As this is my cellar room there will never be a ray of sunlight - only some dust that should be easy to remove. Actually i don't own any accessoires other than the controllers, i only bought the console itsself back in 2002.

>>7073510
>>7073783
The cart that is inserted is the default pong cart. You can play it without any overlay. All the accessories are pretty useless in my eyes! But maybe i will complete my collection some day and buy all this stuff before it is more worth than gold.

For a more complex retro gaming exprience i use my RaspberryPi with Dosbian.

>>7073764
Cheers mate, that one was the most extreme back from the dead system I've repaired.Always been a big advocate of guys in our community to learn basic electronics. Most old systems are fairly bulletproof and it only takes one 20cent capacitor,loose cartridge slot, dirty toggle switch or dodgy laser pickup to stop them from working (always exceptions I know). Even if you can't fix it the first time, each attempt builds your knowledge and skills base.

Not retro, but God, I need to get the Xbox Series X and PS5

>>7074089
Why would you spend so much money on no games machines?

>>7072110
Yo how do you mess with geometry? I have a ME6000 that looks fabulous except for the geometry and I can't find any way to mess with it.

What’s a good online resource to learn this sort of skill? I’ve always been interested, but never really knew where to start. Again I just moved into a new place and have way more space to start experimenting with this sort of thing.

Not digging the triple crt setup, truth be told. I guess you can watch Christy Canyon tapes on one.

Nice Twin fami dude. Where'd you get those sexy PVMs?

>>7065202
>NEC TV
>no PCE/TG16
Missed opportunity there. The consoles could also be a little better-organized.

>>7065779
Why do you have so many extra consoles just lying around?

>>7066086
What's the rationale for having the Saturn at a desk setup instead of with the big tube right next to it?

>>7066167
>emulating
Yuck. At least use a PSP Go if you're going to go that route so that way you can play on a tube.

>>7066326
How are you able to see anything on your Trinitrons? especially that little 9" on the far left?

>>7066994
You should take the DVD player and VCR off your LD player and get some sort of well-ventilated shelf for it. That's an easy way to cause the housing to warp.

>>7067305
Try and track down horizontal stands for your X5As like in >>7075847 and put them either on top of the monitor or on the top shelf.

>>7067619
Looks aesthetic AF, though I'd throw a Dreamcast in as well.

>>7067736
Don't you find the 800 TVL a little too sharp for pre-Dreamcast games? I know some anons are pretty anal about tubes with that level of screen sharpness messing up visual effects like sprite blending.

>>7067770
A modded Wii to complete the 'functional povertystation' aesthetic.

>>7069396
Why isn't your Wega centered on your stand? And I hope you reinforced those cube shelves.

>>7069927
Your B&O should be higher up, but I like this setup quite a bit.

>>7070009
What does the PVM on the right do that the one on the left doesn't? Just feels like one or the other is superfluous.

>>7070060
Your dangling consumer tube is making me nervous, but I otherwise like it.

>>7070952
Why not just hook up the N64 to the TV with OutRun playing on it? It's more viewing area and positioned better.

>>7071013
What's the point of the Daewoo and Philips both being together? Multiplayer? Though you might want to consider putting the Vectrex in between the two since it looks like a pain to play with right now.

>>7073367
Ditch the VCR combo unit for a TATE monitor.

>>7067339
True, serial killers do this while eating a bowl of cereal right before taking a cold shower at 3.a.m.

>>7075878
>Not digging the triple crt setup, truth be told. I guess you can watch Christy Canyon tapes on one.
To each their own, though it's meant for hosting multiplayer /vr/ sessions since the bigger XBR Pro models out there are too big and heavy for the wooden stand.

>>7075892
>Where'd you get those sexy PVMs?
The 2530 was part of a lot of 3 from a traveling roadshow that was selling their PVMs off locally. The 2030s I picked up from a series of trades and in-person purchases.

I spent an average of $300 on each tube in that picture, which is damn near impossible to do nowadays.

>>7075898
>What does the PVM on the right do that the one on the left doesn't? Just feels like one or the other is superfluous.

The bvm on the righ does 480p while the other doesn't. But it is overkill. The main reason i have two crts is to play ps2 games on two separate consoles connected via ilink. Gran turismo, time splitters, guncon games, can be played multiplayer without splitscreen. Each player gets their own screen. A neat trick

>>7075908
>$300 is considered a good deal for one of these nowadays
Well fuck me I guess. Rip to the idea of getting my own.

Don't listen to him. I've spent less than $100 total and have at least 10 production monitors, 7 of them being 20" and the lowest tvl among them being 560. Where are you located?

>>7075940
>Well fuck me I guess. Rip to the idea of getting my own.
If you want a similar look without the wallet rape of a PVM-2X30 or driving yourself crazy trying to score a lucky barn find, consider tracking down an RGB-capable Profeel or XBR. A Sony KV-25XBR for example literally uses the same tube as a PVM-2530 and does everything that it does minus S-Video and Digital RGB support with a different RGB connector.

>>7075946
California, unfortunately, so I assume most good finds have been scooped up already.

>>7075865
It's the RS 6000, Cherry Business Line keyboard.

>>7075898
>Why not just hook up the N64 to the TV with OutRun playing on it? It's more viewing area and positioned better.
That was my initial plan but the Samsung TV has this weird issue with composite video. RGB through scart looks great but when I tried my composite only N64, all the colours looked washed out, misaligned and sometimes flicker. At first I thought it was just shitty cables but the signal looks fine through my daewoo or even my LG HDTV. Hopefully when I finally get around to RGB modding the console, this will be a none issue but until then, I'll keep it hooked up to the daewoo.

are wide screen 16:9 trinis good? seems like 4:3 games would look like shit

>>7076332
>are wide screen 16:9 trinis good? seems like 4:3 games would look like shit
Not for /vr/, but if you're a CRT fan, they're great for early HD content such as PS3 and 360 games.

They tend to be extremely heavy and bulky though, so think carefully about how badly you want one.

>>7074812
For console specific youtube was great, unfortunately a lot of the older stuff seems to have disappeared although there are still a few good channels out there / voltare is a favorite. Mmmonkey and Assebler games are a good reference for ideas,schematics and troubleshooting, but a.g has been shutdown for a while . Luckily someone has scrapped the website and archived most of it.
When I was learning I'd go out on hard rubbish collection night and gather up old cd players / dvd/ tv's ect so I could take out the circuit boards and practice soldering and component removal to build up skill. Just get a cheap soldering iron,braid, flux starters and a pair of side cutters and practice. A cheap multi-meter will suffice for starters, just learn how to read
dc current and measure continuity.Over time it will become easier, just keep at it and work towards the harder stuff, start small to begin with.

jesus christ clean your fuckin rooms

>>7076332
If you go the rgb/line doubler/vga in route for 240p (I use an xrgb3), they look fantastic.I prefer that method over my pvm or ossc-plasma to be honest.All comes down to cost.

>>7076265
I'm here in SoCal, you'd be surprised. I've passed up on some good finds just because I'm not a hoarder and already own 2 top tier sets(20L5 and FW900) and would rather leave them for someone else. The real trick for finding good deals is digging through obscure auction sites and bidding on liquidations/pallets. If you're looking on ebay/fb market/craigslist you're only gonna find resellers and not digging deep enough.
Normal people don't magically have these in their closets letting them go for free at yard sales/craigslist so don't look there.
You need to find a business that's getting rid of them.

Here's one I just blindly found in TN after 5 sec of searching.

>>7075898
>What's the point of the Daewoo and Philips both being together? Multiplayer? Though you might want to consider putting the Vectrex in between the two since it looks like a pain to play with right now.
I got both CRT for free 1 year apart starting with the Daewoo.
Never bothered getting rid of the Daewoo then.
Also I dunno why but I can't get the Dreamcast to properly display on the philips.
Oh and yes I plan to buy another ps2 and link cable for glorious time crisis multiplayer

>>7076265
The opposite is true. There are still warehouses filled with them here in southern California.

Keep that N64 off the carpet! They get toasty and keeping them on a solid flat surface allows them to vent properly.

I hope you got a good deal on that D20, since nowadays it's usually significantly more economical to get a SD set and a VGA set separately to cover the same resolution spread those multiformat monitors cover.

I'll look forward to seeing how your final setup with your BVM looks like.
