I have been posting here for a while now and love looking at others collections for inspiration on how to display mine. Well, I finally moved into a bigger place and got a lot of covers printed so here it goes. I figured out how to post pics instead of links but I don't want to post all 30+ pics so I will put a few pics from far away then if you want to see zoomed in click on links.
First I want to start out in the living room which has my HD systems (360, PS3 and Wii U) along with my movies.
This is my setup: 42" LED, the shelves that the systems on were in that corner when I moved in and have plenty of room for the case of the game currently in the system.

Overall look of shelf

Nacho3 · January 23, 2014, 06:32:05 PM

OK, here's my game room
Tube TV I got from Goodwill for $1 (480i Component/S-Video, flat screen and widescreen)

Systems (There's also a Wii on the side of the TV)

DVD/UGC Sized Games

Handheld/CD Sized Games (I can't figure out how to rotate this pic but it has 3DS, DS, GBA on first shelf, PS1 on second and Japanese Saturn and Dreamcast on third)

The very top has a shelf that pulls out like a drawer and a glass top to display my handhelds

Nice collection.

I am concerned about the stand that holds tv, looks like tv can easily fall on that skinny surface

Also for third party titles, do you go ps3 or xbox?

Nacho3 · January 24, 2014, 01:27:26 AM

The TV stand is very solid so I'm not worried. As far as PS3 vs. 360, my PS3 is used basically as a blu-ray/DVD player and the only games I have for it are HD collections and exclusives. This is less than half of my collection though, I am posting the retro stuff in a little while.
Edit: Retro pics are posted in second post of thread.

I like your selection of 360 titles. We have a lot of the same ones

SegaAM2 · January 24, 2014, 09:32:54 AM

Looking good, now if you could clean up the wires some it would be awesome.

Oobgarm · January 24, 2014, 10:09:45 AM

You're going to print covers for your XBLA games? My hat's off to you, sir. That's something I've considered doing myself.

Be sure to post what you make when you start that project!

sniperlobster · January 24, 2014, 10:26:28 AM

Looks awesome Nacho. Just curious, are those frames that you have your posters in from Michaels? I'm looking to invest in some for my Club Nintendo Posters and those look like the ones I wanted.

I know the wires look terrible, I have some little plastic tubes to fix that I have just not done it yet.

Those were from Ikea, about a month ago they had them on sale for $20 each (they are 27" x 40") but I think the regular price is $25.

I used a template I found here that was made for slim cases but I didn't like the way they looked so I made the spine bigger. It is very easy to go onto Xbox.com and find all the images you need.

Kirby cart is still empty

Nacho3 · January 25, 2014, 12:21:23 PM

I know, I've been concentrating on getting everything set up and printing a bunch of covers but that is next on my to do list. It should stand out quite a bit too since it's in the middle of the display.

excellent gaming setup. nice, clean and organized just the way i like it

Nacho3 · April 08, 2014, 06:04:36 PM

I have moved some stuff around/added some games so here is an update to how my collection looks now.
First I moved the Wii (that's a 1TB hardrive next to it

) and Handhelds to the living room and put systems under the TV instead of on the shelves next to it

Here's an overview of my games for newer systems in my living room

Then here is the zoomed in of each system on that shelf
Xbox 360

Wii U/Wii

PS3

Handhelds

Handheld systems from above

Blu-rays

Now onto the game room, moving the Wii and handheld games out to the living room freed up some space
Overview of shelves (lighting sucks for pics in this room)

NES (still need to modify cases/print covers) & SNES

Gamecube

Genesis/US Saturn

PS2/Xbox

PS1

Japanese Saturn (I know I spelled Street Fighter Collection wrong)

Dreamcast (below it is a spindle of burned DC games)

I also printed all of the N64 covers with custom spines but forgot to take a pic so I will upload that later.
This collection would look real shitty if it wasn't for the people on this community so I just want to say thanks for all the hard work and hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I do.

wiggy · April 09, 2014, 06:30:00 AM

Is that one of those clone GBA systems? I've got one, and it looks like the one I have (the D-pad is oddly shaped).

quickfingers818 · April 09, 2014, 07:53:49 AM

you've got an awesome collection nacho. where do you get your empty xbox 360 cases from?
