What does your console set up look like?
I know we have a home theater thread, and your consoles might be stored in it, but take a pic of just your consoles and let's see how everything is set up...

Re: What does your console set up look like?
Don't want to hijack the thread, so I'll put things in spoilers. I put all these in the HT thread a few years back but it's always fun to share because I did about 95% of this myself (well, with the help of friends). We did everything but mudding/taping and the carpet. So I'm pretty proud of it as I don't consider myself a very handy person. It was a completely unfinished basement (nothing but foundation and concrete walls).
The same theater wall in the light. Custom designed wall to hide the I-beam supporting the house. Built in shelving on the front and sides. Both sides of the theater open up to a walk behind to display movies & collectables. Also has double subs, one on each side. The theater screen is just a few inches shy of 11' wide, with a BenQ 4k projector. The center cubby between the speakers houses the receiver behind a tinted acrylic panel. There's a matching panel on the backside of the wall for access to the back of the receiver. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...22219c6e9e.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...52c1e2e496.jpg The other side of the room, with a gaming corner with other non-hooked up consoles: Spoiler:
Behind the projector screen wall. Movie collection, collectables, and custom printed textless foam board posters and frames: Spoiler:
One of the side cubbies, has all the wireless controller chargers hooked up for the various systems: Spoiler:

Goddamn, I miss having a basement.

Re: What does your console set up look like?
That is fantastic, Michael Corvin. :up: Of course, now I wonder who the heck even wants to post their own setup after seeing something so cool. Certainly not me.:lol:

Re: What does your console set up look like?
It's cool if you have the time and money (and basement) to do all that, or have people over often. I could never do that, I can't imagine how much it all cost even if you did it yourself. But it does look nice.

Re: What does your console set up look like?
Nice setup, Michael Corvin. Good call on outsourcing finishing the drywall and I like the lighting elements. For mine, I outsourced running new electrical and the carpet for the ground level, but got overconfident on the drywall and it shows that it was done by an amateur.
Anyway, mine's not in the tidiest condition, as i ended up adding the 3-level rack on the left for my kids to store stuff and the back row basically gets used for storage 95% of the year, but here are some pics. When we bought our house 14 years ago, it had a 1-car attached garage and detached 2-car garage. I made a deal with my wife that she could be in charge of decor for the rest of the house if I could do this to the attached garage. Took about 8 months of work. I originally had traditional theater seats in the front row as well, but upgraded during covid, as it became my de facto office when working from home and I needed somewhere more comfortable to sit. Currently has a Series X, PS5 and Switch 2. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...5ab48bcf1a.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...d9302903a6.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...dd5080c3dd.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...0e16049560.jpg |

Love the stadium seating max. Rockin' the UCS Falcon too. Very nice. The Jedha City build is damn cool. I've pondered that one a few times. The Criterion Closet is also hella cool.
Mudding/taping is a helluva skill. I tried it in my garage a few years prior and it shows that someone unskilled did it. You watch a YT video and it looks like the easiest fucking thing, but props to the finishers out there. Lot's of skill there to make it look so easy. So I knew when I started the basement I didn't want to even attempt it. I did the electrical. My dad is a retired electrician so he showed me the ropes so I could do most of it myself. He ended up doing all the breaker work.

Spoiler:
Oh, I also forgot, bonus gaming related extra: I ran an HDMI cord to the family room TV on the floor directly above. So I can game on that tv even though my consoles are downstairs. I just keep a controller for each system in the family room. It's not flawless but, comes in handy from time to time. |
