Finally got my gaming set up wired!

[ninjabearhug]

Woohoo!!! It's taken me about a month to buy everything and get it all up there and wired but I'm finally ready to play some games again, just waiting on a PSU for my NES to arrive and a USB hub for my recording equipment and then I'm good to go! All consoles are wired to both TV's and a Dazzle capturing device, I finally have the set up I've always wanted! Spent ages wiring it up too so that it's super tidy, I've always hated the spaghetti mess behind my previous set ups. I stapled twist ties to the back of the units to keep all the cables in place and out of sight. I needed two 10 socket surge protected towers too for all the PSU/chargers ;D. There's just one more finishing touch I need to add, but I'll have to wait until after christmas for that as I'm getting it as a present . Anyway here's a pic or two:

Nice set up, looks like you put some time and effort into keeping it neat and tidy too.

That's a very nice and neat set up you have put together. It could do with a bigger CRT TV, but I suppose that doesn't matter so much when your sitting close enough.

Can you resist buying loads of Nintendo games now you have all their (best) consoles set up and ready to play?

Looks amazing Stew, that´s the perfect place for every evening after work ;D

Very nice

Nice setup! I love that you managed to get the megadrive/megacd/32X creature into one of those cubes. The OCD in me says that the megadrive/megacd/32X needs to switch spots with the Saturn though... lol

I thought that too, have them in chronological order like the Nintendo consoles

Can you imagine the effort involved in actually swapping them around now though, lol

Drooling unabashedly. Amazing setup my man!

[ddevilfingers]

Great work man! It looks fantastic.

No way would I have the patience to get all the cords organised like that.

[Private Joker]

A job well done! That Expedit is perfect for a set up of that many consoles. Have fun now and I expect an SMS Quest every week now

Congrats , It's beautiful

[frankfjs]

I love it but where's the RGB!?

[Retrobob]

Lovely stuff mate, well done. I did something similar a while back, the Queen herself could inspect the back of my TV area with John Virgo's gloves and she'd be impressed.

I got the tips of using velcro from a Scottish chap on You Tube, can't remember the name now.

That set-up looks awesome mate! I really would love to do the same style thing one day for myself.

I love playing all the retro games, but it is a bit of a challenge when you have to constantly swap machines around.

Sorry to ask, What input switchers did you use?
