I did a search and it did not come up with much as to where you guys spend those hours (added up to days) playing your favorite thing we all love. Gaming!
I finished off this part of our house exclusively to get away and gamer out. The living room and family room upstairs either had bad lighting (sun light) or was just too active in our house. This area was going to be a laundry/utility room/large hallway & sitting area, but after finding myself "sick" over Xbox 360, I spent the last months finishing off this area and relocating the laundry in our mud room. I wanted an area where I could sit down, invite fellow Xbox freaks over, mix a drink and have some privacy away from the hustle & bustle of the upper levels. Once you set your mind to anything, it can get done. Only took a couple months and a couple friends, some beer and deep thoughts. Well maybe a little heavy on the deep thoughts. Not much more could be done in this space. Still have a couple things to finish like hooking up the electrical, hooking the low voltage for more sound, and finishing off the wet serving area/bar (temp bar for now). I couldn't wait though. After getting a couple great deals on the seating and a 55' 1080p / 120Hz / LED-LCD HDTV, I got it setup and playing MW2.

I figure some of you guys & gals have some awesome gaming rooms and areas. I would like to see some images of what you guys & gals are doing to make you gaming room/area unique. I want to do some more decorating in Xbox fashion. :help:
One tip I can give ya to keep family members who do not game from using the area is DO NOT PROVIDE CABLE OR SATELLITE ACCESS. :winker: Oh and keep Netflix, Zune & the fact the gaming systems today play DVD's on the down low. :rofl: I did sneak in a digital TV antenna though.

Nice desk top & that is a pretty sweet office setup. Nice having the PC right with the gaming equipment. If you are married, you can always say "I am working" lol! Nice & thanks for sharing.
That is one thing I have on the list and I put it up a couple notches since seeing your setup. I want to integrate my laptop with my TV & system (music, movies, & browser) a little better than I do now. I really do not want (do not want) to but & fab a swing away bracket R.A.M. mount deal. My wireless mouse does a good job on a new battery from that distance, but I have to use my pants as a mouse pad because the fabric the couches are made out of does not work for a darn. I also would like to look into wireless key boards also, maybe.

you should look into getting one of these. they're a little pricey but i think the added convenience would be worth it in the long run.

Here's mine.
I've lived with this setup for years, minus the second monitor. That was a recent addition this year :3

I'm really liking your setup jacobia, like your desk and dresser are nice looking and really organized. Looks good man. and I agree, mini fridges are the :censored:. I don't have to go downstairs for my mountain dew anymore haha.

I have that exact same mouse. It's pricey but it's so worth it.

Nice set ups guy! :clap:
I like Matt's gaming area and for sure his modding area. I am new to modding gaming systems (thanks to acid mods & it's staff and members I am learning a ton), but have been around microprocessors and soldering in the past. It's been nice these last couple weeks building integrated circuit printed circuit boards & programming mp's again. This is now my new modding area now:

I am addicted now to figuring out new methods at mods for the Xbox. I hope in the future to give back some info to where I learned some cool stuff (acid mods).
Ask my wife lol! When it comes to this kind of stuff I get crazy involved and willing to anything to help others & figure out cool stuff. LOL
Thanks for those who have shared so far. Gaming isn't just a hobby, it can be a lifestyle. :victory:
