Gaming Setup Hall of Shame

<< < (6/7) > >>

missioncontrol:
some of the pictures were funny but your rants got a little old or perhaps it was the way it sounded in my mind as I read it, well anyways here's a few pics of my set up, it's not glamorous but the kids and I don't mind....





Jouster:
Some of those really need to be ripped!

It's not the amount of money you spend on your setup...or how big your TV is or how many speakers you have...its the whole setup together.  Plus the other point of this article, correct me if I'm wrong...was that these people were proud to show off their overcrowded cardboard box table...or the fact that they had 100 speakers crammed into roughly 4" of desk space...hardly enough to be worth having more than a mono speaker in its place.  To me, its more about the absolute failure of planning and good thought before throwing this stuff together.

These setups are counter productive to being considered 'good' setups.  It's one thing to have spent $500 or more on the rest of your setup...with the 15" console TV still the center of attention because you are waiting for just the right sale to pick up the HDTV you've had your eye on...but these were not quite that caliber.

Yeah, that was my favorite as well. I saw it in a TV commercial, but I guess he actually did it.
