OK guys I am still in the planning stages (Read my stepson has not moved out yet) of my game room.
So I created some guides for myself to follow when assembling everything.
Let me know what you thing and if there are any improvements that can be made.

Here is the power setup

They Pyle-Pros are rack-mount surge protectors with switches on the front to control the individual plugs.

Here is the AV setup.

The Dreamcast can display via VGA or Svideo because of the Av box I have on it.
The RF systems work via a Sony DVD/VCR combo that does a good job accepting RF without interference and outputting it as Component to the rest to the system.

I used Libreoffice Draw to get all of this done. It is free for everyone. If you want a copy I would suggest going to Ninite.com to get a clean version.

Thanks for all the help and feedback.

That’s starting to look like an Eagle CAD drawing  :D

I come by it honest. My Grandfather was an engineer and one of the co-inventors of the self cleaning coke oven door.

Looks good, and very similar to my previous setup before getting a Extron source selector. 

But one question.  Aren't your Pyle-Pros power strips rather than surge protectors?  I didn't think they provided any actual protection. 
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

Nice!

My grandfather as well. He worked at Lubrisol for a LONG time on many of the fuel additives that most every petroleum company adds to their pump gas. He also had done some work on the Wankel rotary (though I don’t know exactly to what degree).

They have a small fuse that is laughable, but I have everything going thru a APC 1500 UPS on the battery backup side to protect the systems and condition the power.
