My little piece of retro

CathalDublin

Finally got all my consoles into the house and in a nice Ikea cabinet under the TV, now all I have to do is mod them all and wire them up:D



Might ditch the gamecube for a dreamcast though
I've a few CRT TV's but just no room in an apartment for them

Poor Gamecube bt sure if you have a Wii there's not much point

That's a really nice clean setup. One to keep a girlfriend/wife happy

that was the plan
When its closed she just sees the sky plus box and the htpc(XBMC):pac:
The joypads and game collection are in a cupboard next to it, will get a photo when they're all in

Very nice setup. Lovely.

Is that a Marantz or an Onkyo CD unit? Or neither...

Hey Eoin
Its from the IKEA Besta range, I cant see it on their website but its on display upstairs in Ikea, just to note the door spring openers dont come with the cabinet.

It makes such a difference when they are all connected ready for action...

CathalDublin

Just trying to get little storage boxes to hold the controllers so they are not in a tangled mess somewhere

Cheers for the info

Perfect timing the gf is away over the weekend i might do a stealth assembly and pop in all the consoles.

I dont have any of the sega gear as i was more a Nintendo guy also my snes is nackered but it will look well in the cabinet.

Ill keep an eye out for any storage boxes or the likes for the controller. The hardest part will be trying to hide this beast.
