Your gaming setup

[Vespa Alex]

Superb. 

[Nathan Wind]

Yeah yeah it's great and everything, but how the fuck do you sleep at night with the consoles not sat straight on the shelves?

 

That crystal Xbox is making me feel physically ill, it's so wonky. I've got the shakes.

 

Edit, Oh emm gee, I've just noticed the coaster.

Nice setup but the slimline PS2's are making me nervous. If you could tidy the cables up between the TV's it would be a really nice setup. Everything else is really neat.

[Parappa]

Pretty sure that's the same Sony CRT that I have.  Seems to be pretty good for PS1 stuff

The screen is a 96 inch hard projector screen. The room is just over 9 feet across (fort he projector throw) and 13 feet long. The wiring doesn't bare thinking about...

Had to pack it all away before bed though.

There's a multi plug with lots of plugs plugged in which is half plugged into a long strip plug.

Hah! You don't have to delete it! :/ 

Was just joking while also pointing out that I'd certainly rearrange power adapters a little more efficiently. 

[MatOfTheDead]

the 14" is a Sony Trinitron KV-14m1u which is upstairs and has saturn and ps2 hooked up and the 27" which is downstairs is a sony kv-x2582U which is for PS1 DC PS2 and Original Xbox

[Kevvy Metal]

I've been building my retro set up for the last wee while and just got myself a gscart powered switcher, so have added that! It has duel Scart outputs, with one going to my Framemeister > 42" HDTV and the other output is going to go to my old 21" Toshiba CRT that I bought in like 2002. 

I'd love to get a Sony PVM, but they're pricey and if any crop up on eBay, will be pick up only and I'm too far away for that. One interesting thing is that some guys on the US based shmups forums have actually purchased and modded my Toshiba CRT for RGB with great results! They seems to regard that one quite highly so that's good! Obvs, being a UK TV it already has RGB Scart.

there was a pvm for sale near me last october i mean literally 15 mins away but the guy never got back to me when i asked if i could go checked it out so i ended up grabbing the 14" off sphock and i picked up the 27" from a british heart foundation shop in town

[Kevvy Metal]

Here's a photo of my new set up. I'm loving having an RGB CRT for retro gaming again. Even though the XRGB Framemeister adds only around 1.5 frames of lag, you can certainly see it. The gscart switcher is superb and great for it's dual output feature.

Pretty sure it's a Toshiba 20AF41C. 

I bought it around 2002/2003 and would have purchased it on recommendation from posters on either this board or on ntsc-uk. It was my main gaming CRT till I bought an HDTV around 2007. It's good, as good as a decent Sony Trinitron. 

 

Some US nerds have been buying the US version and attempting to RGB mod it. Obvs, being the UK version, it has SCART RGB and accepts 60 Hz no bother.
