Post pictures of your gaming rigs (2016 Edition)

@raugutcon:

epic!

title is "gaming rigs"..that would be PC..that would mean..pics of RIGS and not toys,consoles,home theaters,etc..Strong reading comprehension..

Just following the thread owner's lead. Indzman posted both his console and PC.

I couldn't ignore the consoles , sorry :P

Yup. A thread in Sw's would encompass everything.

How mad does it make you that the picture I posted in here is currently #1 on the Battlestations sub-reddit?

Some really nice collections in this thread. Kinda wish I had more space at home. I have is a ps3 (currently plugged in), ps2, n64, snes, nes and some games stashed away in the attic. Would have been fun to start a serious collection and have a dedicated room for it.

*I almost forgot about this thread*

This is my rig and nothing to brag about it:

This is the pre-built when I build myself a new rig about 5 Months ago:

Is that a fully modular PSU? I'm starting to regret not purchasing one. It's kind of wonky doing cable management with a non modular.

@intotheminx: It's a fully modular PSU, I always get a fully modular for cable managements and they aren't bad but the none modular are the real pain. You should be able to replace your current PSU with no problems.

lol @ people getting all salty over Nyas collection. I think any real gamer would love to have a set up like that.

Damn I wish I had pics of my setup from 2004, some of you bros would be slitting wrists lol.

The salt is real, it's already at 900 upvotes and #1 on reddit, real people appreciate this stuff.

I'm seriously thinking about it. I have a EVGA 500 watt right now, but it isn't modular. For my first time throwing a PC together I felt like it was more difficult than need be. So many zip ties. How is your Corsair holding up? I've heard mixed reviews.

I haven't found one yet except maybe mounting it in my case was a little tricky, nothing ever mount perfectly though. I heard others complaining about how stiff the wires were but I didn't have that big of a problem with mine. Mines were just right for forming them in my case. Corsair aren't bad from my experience, so you shouldn't have a problem with going Corsair components.

Yeah, it's a strong case of jelly in here for sure.

It's not just that it's a big collection, I've seen plenty of those and used to have a ridiculous one myself, but it's the organization and presentation that many game collections lack.

I'm always on the move with my job, but when I do finally settle into a house for the long term, I'll be going for something similar. I don't really care for the collection aspect, or having rare games/systems, but being able to just walk into a room and play any old game I want on any old system? **** yes.

For many of us, gaming is a life long hobby, might as well enjoy it to the fullest if you can.

That's what it's about man, you have no idea the stress relief and peace that washes over me when I come into this room. All the problems of daily life, people bickering, work, everything, as soon as I walk in here it all fades away.

@Byshop: insane, that's the word for that rig.

@nyadc: every time I see your gaming set up pictures I nearly go blind from jealously.

Ill post my PC rig when I upgrade my cpu cooler tomorrow.

I'll post my PS4/PS3 as well at the same time.

Sounds good to me. Gaming is gaming.

Master System is unnecessary when you have a Power Base Converter for the Genesis. ( :

My Xbox One.

This is System Wars, not the PC Society forums. Plus, OP posted a pic of some consoles.

Awesome retro setups. I love the Fz-1 I believe it's called? The 3do.

It's as simple as this. If you are a collector, you appreciate the hell out of your pics. If you're not a collector, well you make it obvious.

Odd left of the field question. Do you have Radiant Silvergun for Saturn? I know it's an import, but it seems like something you'd have.

No I don't, I only collect NTSC games.

Gotcha. Damn. I was going to ask you the price was worth the game.

Thanks, yes it's the FZ-1 model. I've recently been been playing Wolfenstein 3D on it. Probably the best port of that game on console.

Better than Jaguar's? ;)

I would say yes as it has graphics on par with the Jaguar, has better quality audio and more levels.

Here, I'll let you be the judge.

....Byshop

I'd worry about getting out of that contraption before even thinking of sitting in that chair.

If I had something like this....I would never see the light of day.

You manage ? To pull yourself away from that thing ?

Byshop is a secret Master Hacker ( By the looks of his Ultra Den) in disguise of a mod LOL

@Byshop said:

That's quite an elaborate masturbation rig you got there. All you need is an Oculus Rift to make it complete. Impressive.

Edit: Just noticed the Oculus Rift. LMAO!!!!

@acp_45: @raugutcon: @emgesp: Thanks. These pics are a bit old and I'll post some better ones, soon. Also, I need to post the console area of the basement with the projector and the game collection.

@indzman: As you can imagine, I "spared no expense".

-Byshop

You are so awesome Byshop :)

Two pics of my current gaming rig.

The cooling liquid isn't blue anymore. Switched it with something else so now it has a more red/pink colour. If I had some white lights/LED I would put that behind the reservoir. Gets a nice colour if I do.

Man that would lool sick with some lights for the liquid cooling system.

Yeah... but it is also extra work =/

Though I got a decent manual fan controller, so I can hook up pretty much any light I want to it as long as it doesn't require higher than 12V. I have a small one. 25W, 12V light bulb I can use. I know it works, but I got no mounting for it. So currently my only option for it to work is to either glue or use electrical tape to hold wire and light bulb together... And then something else for holding the light somewhere in the case.
