If your both architects, I would think the answer to that question should be pretty easy...

Yes, i know :P. we have the game room already design (tv wall with consoles, lights, etc.  but still we don't have the shelving part, because we are thinking on putting the shelving (or what we design) in another room.

In my opinion, making your own is the only way to go. The Billys are nice enough, but your stuck with predetermined dimensions.

Horrible pics, but 90% of you guys have seen my setup a million times anyway :P









I saw the same comment elsewhere, but looking at them online there was a significant amount of wasted vertical space in the pictures I saw.

I didn't know about the additional shelving you could get for it; awesome :)


Here's what my setup looks like with the Billy's.

I wish I had a higher ceiling so that I could display more items on the top but can't do much about how my basement was built.

You can even buy extensions for them if you have higher ceilings which will add two more rows to what mine show.

One shelf configured the way I have mine can hold 232 UGCs.

Edit:  Seeing the Alfie jersey hanging there makes me said since he signed with Detroit today.  The city of Ottawa is seriously in an uproar today.

Must be really similar dimensions to my own shelves. I can squeeze 216 per unit ;D

Don't worry, he'll look good in the winged wheel.   :P

I just had a Wiggasm; that looks awesome.

Really wish I hadn't sold my existing collection prior to our last move last year, I'm essentially starting over. Seeing collections like that gives me cart-envy.

My shelving setup is about the most slapped together thing imaginable.

I've got two of these flat-pack multimedia shelving units from Wal-Mart, one of which is holding my loose NES carts and my DS and 3DS games. The other is holding my PS1, PS3, PSP, Dreamcast, GB/C (in 3DS cases), GBA (in DS cases, and a few boxed), Gamecube, and boxed NES (and one boxed Gamegear) games.... With my few WiiU games laying on top of it.

Then I've got two 30"(w)x71"(h)x12"(d) book cases back-to-back holding most of my books and most of my movies respectively.

Then I've got a 37"(w)x59"(h)x11"(d) shelving... thing that my grandfather built... It was originally a mail filing type thing for his doctor's office, with 4"x11" holes, but it's been repurposed like twice over. It's on what was originally its side, and most of the original shelves have been removed.

On top of it are six interlocking DVD storage things, which hold my 360 and Wii games. My old Gameboy-shaped Gameboy carrying case is also up here, with the handful of GB/C games that don't have covers yet inside.

In the old shelving/mail thing are my original-Xbox, PS2, Gamegear, and Neo Geo Pocket Color games, as well as the rest of my movies and my manga (and other miscellanea)

Above my bed are two 79" long shelves on tracks. The top one is almost completely full of UGC and boxed SNES and SFC games, while the lower contains my Master System, Genesis, and N64 games. Many of the Genesis games are loose, since I'm out of UGCs and holding out for onion cases... at which point the shelf won't hold them all anyway.

Finally, my PC games are on a shelf that is part of my computer desk.

Basically my room looks like some sort of crazy hobbled-together library that is eternally short on shelves. I'm in the process of sorting through all of my stuff and putting a lot of it (not the games) in storage or selling it off to make more room. Hence, no pics.
