This is my setup with my Wii, PS2, Gamecube, Xbox 360, and tv with Final Fantasy VI from FF Anthology on screen. I didn't move the gamecube yet because I just put my Wii and converter box there, which is why there are so many wires. I cant even use the xbox with my speakers because the cord won't reach with the video plugged into my tv.
Attachment 27316
These are my 360 games and DVDs, the Blank case is Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Most of them are FPS games because that was all I could afford and haven't had time/money to build up my library.
Attachment 27317
These are my PC games (a bunch of old sega pc games including smash pack 1&2, and Halo: Combat Evolved), GC games, and PS1/PS2 games. The PS games are Parasite Eve, Final Fantasy IX, and Final Fantasy Anthology. Some of the GC/PS2 games may be hard to read, because if I bought it and it didn't have an original label, I looked up scans and printed out the covers (Oblivion for 360 was like this also). I had to use an old box to use as a shelf since I have no more room on the other shelf.
So that's what I have right now, but 5 years from now I should have a much larger library of games and dvds.

Some of the better games I on are Super Metroid, original Metal Gear with box, Final Fantasy 3, Secret of Mana, FF2, all the Legend of Zelda games for NES, SNES and N64. When i get situated in my new place I'll add pics for those.

So I "borrowed" a 92 mm fan out a video card cooler kit i had laying around and used that fan for the exhaust.. and decided to put the 120mm fan on the side.. originally intended to be inside but yet again was too thick.. would fit but im a tad paranoid about a powerful fan running only a mm or 2 from my video card.. still not 100% happy with it.. might replace it with a 140mm slim fan eventually
Originally I wanted to make a custom fan control for it...Not that hard but real life got in the way. Circuit will probably be easier than the last one I built.. LOL.. I also wanted to customize the PSU cables to better optimize the limited space of this case.. The best I could do was this with out exploring other options such as customizing the PSU cable lengths and making the fan controller..as soon as money allows I will do the above 2 things

This is a pic of my PC "gaming" area... The only the different was that my trusty old CRT monitor died.. Really hated it too.. had excellent picture quality..My computer chair is quite comfortable.. hehheh
http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r...g/100_0367.jpg
I put a miniature fan flush with my projector to keep it cool; one of those numbers that people put in and around their entertainment centers to keep certain parts from over heating. That was a lot easier than what you are describing though. :)
So now I have all the games I always wanted...but I tend to guilt trip myself over not playing them. I'm going to just relax and let them be where they are until I feel like coming back to them again.
Where's the middle pickup lol? Btw, what kind of pickup is that one on the bottom? It looks an awful lot like a PAF, I'd imagine it's not original, lol, but I bet that thing can roar nonetheless.Quote:

The bridge Pup is not a PAF but a Gibson 1979 T-Top that came out of a 1979 Gibson Les Paul.. The story of how it came to be put in this guitar is an odd one.. Originally I had the Les Paul back in 91 or so but took the pickups out and replaced them with EMG's.. Since I never throw away parts , I wrapped the pickup in foam and put it in a box with alot of other pickups.. There it stayed for the next 14+ years until I was in need of another sound.. I was broke so I looked in this box for a pickup. I verified it still worked with an ohm meeter.. So I hooked it up in a temporary fashion.. After I was satisfied with it, I made things more permanent.. Honestly I haven't fully verified it is a T-Top but it did meet all the criteria..i.e. Year,guitar is originally came out of, and DC resistance of ~7.5 K ohms. The one thing I did not do was to take the gold cover off.. Since it was soldered on the bottom plate of the pickup.. this was going to be a pain + i really needed a solder gun for this type of operation...If it is a T-Top and it is highly probable that it is.. they fetch around $250 to $275 on Ebay if i wanted to sell it
The T-Top isnt as hot as the POS Seymour Duncan designed by abomination that was stock in it, but it more than makes up for it tonally and harmonically.. When I say this is the most perfect guitar I have ever owned.. it is all that and more.. BUT i made it that way in several ways.. sonically and aesthetically .. She never breaks a string EVER!!..and always stays in tune as long as the new strings have been properly stretched ,the string action/height is comfortable, intonation is not perfect but close.. She has become more than what she was and much more than was ever expected...a labor of love and in a very real way,she is my soul .. Shear perfection... I refer to her as one of my kids:)
all of the wiring and modding were done by my mind/hand...
Electronic mods
--Took the 5 way switch out and replaced it with a 3 way
--routed and drilled a hole .. Installed a on/off DPDT switch... on the off position is redirects the signal to ground.. i.e. turned the guitar off
--replaced the orginal pots with a 500k alpha push/pull (built in DPDT switch)
--Volume pot.. push= normal,pull=Volume bypass mod or as some call it a solo mod..i.e.100 % volume
--Tone Pot.. push =.047uF CAP, pull=.022uF CAP.. caps are high quality Orange Drops and are mainly used in amplifiers...the cost is like ~4X as much as a regular capacitor of =- capacitance..
--higher quality input jack was installed
cosmetic and/or functional mods
--cut a new control cavity plate out of plexiglass with a dremal and a steady hand.. Came out maby 95% perfect
-- Replaced the chrome knobs with gold knobs with red inlays
--installed a wrench holder behind the neck.. these are the wrenches I need to change strings or to adjust the bridge.. Helps to keep them close by
--neck backplate and jackplate where replaced with black ones
--neck nut was painted black but will eventually be replaced with a black one.. expensive for what it is so I just painted it as a temp solution
-- Gold pick up cover for the neck single coil
I also wanted a black bridge but im not spending $200 for a color change to replace a bridge that is otherwise perfect
All the work I did on this guitar.. If i was to attach a price tag to it.. maby ~$40 for parts and $125-$150 for labor.. perhaps more.. this is excluding the price for the bridge pickup of course
Here is the original drawing I made with ExpressSCH and colored it in psp7 ...it was a merger of some schematics i found on the net with a few minor changes to make it work as a single unit.. Pretty kool huh? i made all the components for this drawing (Pickups,switch,pots,jack).. painfully slow process but the result was worth it.. My degree in electronics was put to use for a change

I turned my art room into an art/gaming room. Half of those systems were upstairs in a treasure chest; I guess to "honor" them...but it was kind of sad and it's nice to have them out again. :).
Edit: Second pic shows the DVD recorder, my VCR, R7 Dreamcast, Test PS2, and the television set that got relocated when I got a flat panel. It looked very sad and small in the living room, but it's huge in my art room. :D
