What is the best rack, etc., for storage of multiple consoles?
Right now, I have an Atari 2600, Turbografx 16, Genesis, Dreamcast, NES, Super NES, N64, PS, PS2 (slimline,) and a Gamecube. I will probably get a X-Box soon, and maybe a Saturn.
I was wondering what kind of storage people use for multiple systems. I don't have a lot of space, although I might be able to make some room. The cheaper the better, as I don't have a lot of cash available.
Personally, I would like to see something that would have shelves that weren't much higher than the console, and you could pull the individual shelf out when you were playing that system (for toploaders, etc.) If I could mount a surge suppressor and system switchbox, that would be even better.

I have an NES, TG-16, Genesis/32X/SegaCD, SNES, Saturn, PSX, N64, Dreamcast, PS2, Xbox, GameCube, DVD player, VCR and switchbox on a rack- I couldn't find anything that had the room for all of that and wasn't ten feet tall, so I built one myself, 40" tall, 36"wide, 12" deep. Costs less than $40 and a few hours one afternoon. I still need to add a little flair and put wire ducts on the back, it is a wiring nightmare...
