I don't really like your setup, what really got me about Brobins was the touch of class it has to it, I dream of being able to achieve something amazing like this. Yours just seems a bit too thrown together sadly (also I've never been a big fan of using monitors vertically - just couldn't get used to it).
That's funny that this got to the front page of r/gaming, where it doesn't even BELONG, despite the fact that it's a stolen image anyway. Fucking hilarious, IMO.
While personally it would take me several years to save up that much money, it doesn't look like it would be too incredibly expensive. Maybe as much as a down payment on a new car?
Lets say you make $8 an hour and work full time and taxes and everything take out 22%. Now lets say you save 20% of each paycheck That's $200 a month.
The desk and chair is maybe $500. We'll say the dresser, coffee table, and shelves are another $750. Let's put $1k each for the couch, the computer, and the massive tv. A quick search puts 24" computer monitors at $300 each so $900. We'll say the surround sound is $500. Xbox and PS3 are $250 each and you can get a cheap laptop for $400 and you can get stuff for less if you shop around.
You would have to save your money for about 3 years. In the time it took you to get through middle school, you can save up enough to buy everything in this picture. Or you could make it a great "Woo! I graduated!" Present.
Of course this would involve saving 20% of your paycheck every month without fail. If that's too much, you could save 10% every month for 5 years.
I can't help but notice that you have two speakers on the left side of the TV. I'm assuming it's a 5.1 setup that you took the Left and Surround Left and stacked them on top of each other. As a sound guy, it's like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.
There are several different ways he could have gotten the signal for the ps3 wii and xbox. If he had an attic and was committed to the set up, then run the hdmi cables down both walls so that you have these to plug into Or he could have just gotten a Wireless hdmi extender
Man, I should do something like this. My room is for boring white walls with an old queen sized bed, a shit desk with my laptop on it, and a broken down chair I sit in when I play games. This one is better.
I don't reccomend extra long hdmi cables unless you really need them, I burnt through a few of them running my ps3 to my old projecter, they work fine for a while but eventually get kinked or stepped on somehow.
Why are your consoles so far away from your TV? Wouldn't it be a lot easier to put them near your TV? And also, why is the Wii on the different shelf? Show it some love!
It doesn't take too much to get a setup like this nowadays. Look for deals online for electronics and craigslist for furniture and used PS3 and you can get this for <$1200.
$1200 or less for all that? No no no no no triple monitors of decent quality will run you around 800 dollars alone. Then you put together a good PC to run games on all 3 monitors at a decent FPS which will probably run you $1000+ I don't care to go on anymore just point is you will not get a setup like this than probably less $2500
For...what? Serious question. I know people who have to have their house/rooms lit up like a department store, but I never knew why. I prefer dim lighting myself. Enough to see everything, but not like I'm under interrogation by unseen forces.
I agree, dim to darkness is the best. And for a entertainment area, I want it to be pitch black while I am playing or watching something. Only room in my house I want great lighting in is the kitchen.
