a3quit4s | 4,388 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) Made some updates to your game room? Rearranged everything again? Bought or built new shelves for the 17th time? Share away! Edited August 19, 2021 by a3quit4s 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,388 Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 Whelp I knew when I started that the tv I use for retro gaming would have to be mounted to the wall eventually to make room for more shelves. That time came last night. I’m very happy with the outcome and even happier that a sub $30 wall mount from Amazon did the trick. I’ve ordered another triple width prepac shelve to put in the ugly tv consoles place. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 5,142 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 This should be fun as stuff pops up. Kind of tempted, but don't like to show off the stuff either, feels like inviting trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc.Stalk | 82 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I had a tiki themed game room for the last 4 years, Me and my wife just moved, I made half the new basement into a theatre room, the other half is going to be a game room. I’m currently getting it built now, it’s going to take some time(probably 2 months) based on my carpenters schedule but I’ll definitely post about it when it’s done! It’s going to be so sweet! I’m very excited! This will be my third game room in the last 6 Years. My old room was pretty cool and felt like a good get together room but I’m excited to have something not so loud and in your face as a tiki theme lol. The bar was cool though! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These displays make me question going for boxed stuff as I never felt it presented well to do carts, but here we are with a good looking method.

BitsAndGlory | 15 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Here's a link to my Instagram of my game room after I cleaned it a few weeks ago:https://www.instagram.com/p/CRu2QujLHPx/ I'll attach a sample graphic, but you can see the rest in the post. I also post basically non stop retro gaming stuff there, so feel free to follow if that's your thing! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,388 Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) Ok so since I mounted the TV I’ve got space for another triple width so I ordered it up, I’m in the midst of re-organizing but here we are. Edit: on the main wall with all the boxes I plan to move out the double width and the two on the end and replace with a quad width and the use the double width in the other section in the basement to get rid of my shitty N64 shelves and have the N64 loose set displayed properly Edited August 26, 2021 by a3quit4s 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of bookcases are those? I like the spacing between the rows. Did you add extra shelves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,388 Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 @ICrappedMyPants - these are all shelves from Prepac - I get them on Amazon. The shelves are all customizable so you can arrange them how you like. https://www.amazon.com/Prepac-Double-Width-Storage-Cabinet/dp/B001KW0BBU/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=prepac+media+storage&qid=1629978960&sprefix=prepac+media&sr=8-3 This is the double width link, but they also have triple width and quad width. For reference the shelves can fit 24 loose NES across and on the triple width it holds 24 shelves of NES loose or 576 loose carts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to have two less shelves than your picture, but the one with the extra shelves seems to be a different model. They were on sale for $162, about $60-$70 cheaper than I could find anywhere else. I also signed up for their email newsletter and got another 10% off. I will probably cannibalize one to get the 24 shelves for one case and use the other one for GCN/PS2/Xbox era and later so that I have an extra shelf. https://www.hayneedle.com/product/triplewidthwallstorage.cfm Edited August 29, 2021 by ICrappedMyPants 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got them on Amazon no issue, but as you pointed out they are more money. I can’t find the quad width anywhere. I think on Prepacs website I saw they were going to provide more product soon.

drxandy | 3,285 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) I have been tryin to clean up my room a bit so here's where I'm at: My picture setup! Foam boards ontop the crt makes for some ok shots I think. To the right: To the left: More left: Hiding boxes with posters. I love this stand for new stuff. Lots of mess not shown, still lots of organizing to do! Edited August 31, 2021 by drxandy 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like those shelves, but I never understand why some companies make the base stick out a few inches to each side since it makes it impossible to butt up two shelves next to each other. Although, as I look at pictures online, I think I could modify them in a way to cut off that excess and when you butt them up next to each other, you wouldn't see the cut. I just don't like the empty space in between the shelves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaMan52 | 2,586 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) I ran out of room on my shelves and have piles of merchandise and accessories sitting beside some of them, so I don't feel comfortable showing a lot of pictures until I do some more organizing and buy more shelves. But for now, here is a picture of my GameCube collection: That's not all of it. Anyone who's looked in Nes Freak's obscure Nintendo items and goldenpp72's show off your sets topics knows I have more GameCube items than this, such as a Pearl White European GameCube, LCD Screens, and a Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw Controller, among other things.

MegaMan52 | 2,586 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Not much of an update, but I did a little organizing in my "GameCube area." I moved my Metroid Prime Cell Art (barely noticeable in my previous picture) where my Finding Nemo ticket was, and moved the ticket just above (off-screen, though the frame can just barely be seen). Now the entire Cell Art can be seen. After that, I put my Pearl White GameCube with my other GameCube's. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
