I have a seperate smaller entertainment center in my game room with a TV and on the shelves I have: shelf one a Sega CDX and PSone and NES, on shelf two a Dreamcast and Saturn, on shelf three a 3DO and CD-i, and on the bottom shelf the GameCube and N64. When I want to use a game system on the big tv and with the surround sound I move it to the living room. I'm also out of space and I already put the SNES up in a cabinet. There is no room in the living room for any game systems, so I only use them there for a short time.

If I add a PS2 or a big ole Xbox I will have to move some stuff to the cabinet of lost game systems. One of the reasons I hate big game systems.

6 consoles???? And everyone keeps telling me I'm crazy cause I have the 3 newest ones. Alright, I think I have a solution for your problem, it's called therapy.

I second this question. I'm looking for a decent audio/video rack that doesn't cost 200 bucks. I want to stick the PS2, Gamecube and Dreamcast in there and maybe the N64. Please somebody HELP!

It depends on what you're looking for.

We're using Metro racks in most of the entertainment systems in the house. It's a little pricey but since you buy it in parts you make it do just about anything you want.

We're using a bunch of the 18 inch shelves in our system downstairs, but we've got 2 big 48 inch racks upstairs.

They sell the shelves in 18 or 48 inch sections and the poles in lengths from about 4 ft to 6 or more.

Like I say we like cuz it's customizable, but it can get expensive real quick.

I'm using a four-shelf rack that I bought from Circuit City for $150. It houses my receiver, DVD player, PS2, XBox, and Dreamcast. I can post a picture of the unit in action if needed.
