I don't have pics, but I have a 42 inch LCD connected to a Wii, PS3 and 360 and my PC which is connected to a 22 inch.

No pics here, but a PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 connected to a 42" Sony BRAVIA.

It's pretty. =]

Let's just say I'm not an orderly person.

NES, PS3, Dreamcast, 360, Xbox classic (for those few awesome Xbox games without backwards compatibility), Wii, PSP, DS, DS lite, DSi. There's a gamecube currently serving as a makeshift synthesizer rack somewhere, and another NES i use with MIDINes for musicz (you can see its butchered remains in the top right there). I also have a workstation with a pretty good graphics card i use for PC games.

Worst part of my setup is the AV bit. TV is garbage (i have to turn it off and on again about 20 times before it will give me a picture), and i have no real sound setup. Priority when i move to my new place is a proper 5.1 setup and one of those snazzy Samsung 100hz motion interpolating TVs.

No pics, but I'm on a 32" LCD connected to a PS3 (via HDMI) and PS2 (via Component). I have the capability to run Surround, but do not have it hooked up at this time.

Not hooked up to the TV are a PSP 2000 and a Nintendo GBA SP.

I wish I would have kept all my old systems, never seemed like I would miss them, until they are gone.

It becomes sort of a spatial issue though. When people see the pile of consoles and cable spaghetti under my TV they typically go "That's a great idea! If you want a fire!".

I think my favorite system, sad to say, is my PC, simply because it can handle any kind of game better than any of my consoles, old and new. There's something to be said for authenticity, but emulation is really, really good these days. I have somewhat of an obsession with the NES sound being authentic (i demand every little flaw from that soundchip), but beyond that the only real reason i keep the other consoles around is they are they only way to play certain games. I wish there were more reasons, but no. Looking forward to a uni-console future.

Looks like an electrical fire waiting to happen.

It is amazing how quickly the Wii is no longer a gaming machine but exercise equipment.

I have my 50" Sony Bravia 1080p LCD projection (bought off clearance), with my PS3 and X360 using the 2 HDMI inputs. I also have a kick ass Yamaha receiver with Infinity speakers.

That's so true. Haven't seen any good Wii game for some months. And no, that 3745th remake of an old Mario game, which was recently released doesn't count. I hope that this year we will see some improvement. Fingers crossed for new Zelda and Mario Galaxy, but also for new StarFox (man can dream).

They were all external and removable (except the black light paint-but it is clear) So no warranty voided or anything, Thanks for the compliment though
