I don't know why, but I always get a kick out of seeing where or on what everyone does there gaming. I know there used to be quite some time ago at TXB a thread where posters showed their gaming sets and whatnot.

Anyway, here's mine, nothing to brag about. I work from home, so I do everything here. It's where I have my work laptop hooked up to, my pc, and it's also where I do my console gaming as well (32" Samsung led).

A bit dirty but here ya go. I'll post some pics of my console gaming setup tomorrow maybe. I agree Qbert, I love seeing what other people are playing on. Can always get/give ideas for improving setups and it's just fun. Great thread!

I could only wish to have a gaming set-up like a lot of people will probably post here. I eventually may get around to posting a pic when I get everything sorted. I'm in a process right now where I may be moving house soon so I'll be looking forward to getting that all settled.

Yeah the case fans for my corsair 600T were too loud. Noctua fans my not be fashionable or cheap, but I sure love their performance and silence! I even replaced the water cooling fans for my corsair h100i with noctua fans.

I hear they're making some in all black, will be interesting.

I'm using 3 for my Swiftech 320 AIO but hiding them at the top of the tower and will have 3 Corsair AP120's on the visible side for push/pull.

Noctua make the best cooling fans imo.

Yes, my case has a top spot for cooling fans as well. So nice to have. Mine's getting a bit dusty, need to clean!

Yes, the new black versions are coming and they are going to be cheaper in price due to the solid black color. Weird, I know.

Here's a earlier picture of my machine, it's no longer hooked up to the above 55" plasma I have a 22" monitor that it is now hooked up to that sits behind the theater rooms couch.

Nothing special but here's a couple of photos of my games room upstairs in the spare room. Just hope I can get the PS4 and the Xbox One in those spare slots. I'm confident the Playstation will be fine but the Xbox One has to be horizontal and looks huge, time will tell.

Little update: The Xbox 360 power brick wire that's visible above the Xbox 360 controllers has now been hidden behind the unit. I've wanted to do it for ages but never got around to actually doing it until yesterday, looks a lot cleaner now.
 
Nothing too special, but it gets the job done for me. What I need is some kind of surround sound though. I only have the speakers built into the TV.

Nice clean set-up Evo.

Thank you, I think sometime soon we'll be getting a 60 or 65" LCD-LED TV, that plasma while looking fantastic puts out WAYYY too much heat, I have central air and my theater room gets so warm with that plasma and the receiver running for a few hours that we had to get a window air unit to help central air in that room. It's insane.

I felt I hid my stock looking Noctua's well, all that can be seen on the flip side are the Corsair AP120's.

Little bump with being on the verge of a new generation in gaming I thought so people may have forgotten about and or want to showcase there current/future setups in this thread.
 
Update: I set up the Playstation 4 in my games room/2nd spare room yesterday, haven't had much time on it been busy but it's a fantastic bit of kit. I thought I had a problem with the HDMI port at first because I didn't get any picture but it turns out the console just didn't like my HDMI switch for whatever reason, once I plugged it in to the TV's spare HDMI port it was fine.



If you look at my previous set up in this thread you'd see speakers for surround sound on top of the unit, not anymore although they still exist but are now deployed behind the unit.

Let's get some more of you guys posting your setup's, it would be nice to compare and get new ideas.
 
Went from VGA projector to 50 Inch plasma around the time of 360 launch. Few years later went with 60 inch plasma, recently got back to the TRUE bigscreen gaming (110 inch) with a projector. Painted the walls and ceiling in my living room dark purple and these are the results:

There is something to be said about playing Forza Horizon or GTA V or ANY awesome game on such a huge screen(wall). It will be even better when i get a screen for it. I cannot wait to see how Xbox One and PS4 games look on it.

The great thing about it all is, how affordable this all is. If your living room and whoever lives with you (or not) allows it, it is perfectly doable. I live alone, so i could have turned my living room into the Batcave if i wanted, but nah...too depressing, haha.

I'm pretty sure you've posted the details somewhere before, but just so I don't have to go searching, how much did this setup cost you?
