I'll probably keep only 1 console hooked in at once, and store the rest in dust free enviroment (in a box).
But if you need help hooking several consoles at once I can help.
Just list what consoles you have and what inputs your TVs have, and I'll tell what to use.

I actually have them all hooked up right now, but things will have to change a little when I finally do come up with something. I'm more have an issue with the room layout and how I want to display everything. However, maybe you've got some ideas that can improve how I have everything hooked up.
All of the old school systems will be hooked up though S-Video except the NES and possibly the Genesis. All the newer stuff will be either component of HDMI. I have everything go in through a receiver and then into the T.V. Can't decide if the GameCube, PS2 and X-Box will go on the CRT or the LCD. Do you have any suggestions for HDMI, Component, and S-Video/Component switches?
Arseen:
Gamecube, PS2 and Xbox can be connected with component cables you know. I'd hook the PS2 only to CRT when playing pistol games which don't work on flatscreen TVs.
For any console that can do RGB I'd use RGB scart cable and Scart->HDMI converter.

Difference over RGB is non-noticeable so from my EU point of view can was good enough, but for US dudes and dudesesses there might be advance, so correction accepted without penalties for stepping on toes of the one and only Oversight. ;D

Haha oh no I'm agreeing with you - I was saying that component (or RGB) is necessary for the Gamecube, PS2 and Xbox, because using composite for those three would be a crime. ;D
