Here is where I am at. Live in an apartment so space is tight and needed everything to be able to move into the closet. I’ve got SNES, N64, Wii mini, Sega Genesis, PS2, a vcr, receiver and stereo speakers, Extron switcher, and playing them all on a Sony PVM14L5. The rack is from Amazon and most are hooked up via RGB.

    Nice! It reminds me of teachers bringing in the TV for a class and having the usual fight with channels and inputs for the next 3-5 minutes.

    Do you wheel it back to its parking spot when unused?

        Not as bad as you would think actually. I collected all the gaming hardware over time. Cables and tv and such. Last piece was the shelving. Took about a day to get everything set up and another day of tweaking and cable management.

          Interesting. Just by looking at the picture I thought it was much more than just two days. Thanks for sharing!

    nice, i have one of those carts too and put some hanging canvas organizers on the back to put controllers and stuff in. however, i wouldn’t be able to see a thing happening on that monitor without being a couple feet away (like at a desk)- how close do you sit to it??

      I usually do a few different things. Including sitting on the floor with the kids and the tv about 3 or 4 feet away or pull it up next to the couch and play. Eventually I’ll get a bigger one as well but for now it suits my needs and those 800 scan lines look gorgeous lol.

    Very nice! I’m seeing a SNES, N64, VCR, Genesis?, and a vertically stood PS2? Am I missing anything?

    This setup is nice. It’s also interesting that I’ve never heard of Wii mini but I was a PlayStation kid :)

      It flew under my radar for a long time as well. I got it for a steal.

    If the cart doesn’t have a name already, go with Mario or Crash Team. Nice setup.

    It looks like a setup that you wave your hands like you’re casting a spell a lot before making a decision

      It can be really tough to decide not gonna lie. Just depends on my mood and feeling of time I want to play in

      It works in a tight space and has a retro feel to it even. Feels like I’m back in high school
