my room of oasis (doom) (kills 56k)

[shvnsth]

The setup is really two completely independent setups that happen to share a basement. This was my setup 6 months ago (it was in my bedroom), but has since been banished to the little ones since I finished the main event a few months back. The first setup is made up of the following components:

50in Sony LCD television (KDF-50WE655)
40gb Tivo
5 disk Samsung dvd/dvd-a player and surround sound receiver (HT-DS610)
Marantz RC3200 Touch-Screen Remote
Lutron Maestro (remote controlled light switch)


and the following game consoles are hooked up to this through a Pelican System Selector Pro:


Nintendo Gamcube (component) includes Game Boy Player
Sony Playstation 2 (component)
Microsoft Xbox (component)
Sega Dreamcast (s-video)
Nintendo 64 (s-video)
Sega Saturn (s-video)
Nintendo SNES (composite)
Sega Genesis (composite)
Nintendo NES (composite)
Sega Master System (RF)


And now for the main event. This setup began as a dream of mine at the beginning of summer, and with my new freedom (I had just graduated high school), I now had the time to invest into setting up a real home theater in my basement. This setup is made up of the following components:


Sanyo PLV-Z2 projector (720p)
Marantz SR8200 receiver (120w per channel, setup as a 5.1 system)
Athena AS-F2 (front speakers)
Athena AS-R1 (surround speakers)
Axiom Audio VP150 (center channel)
Pioneer DV-578A (sacd/dvd-a player)
Oppo Digital OPDV971H (upscaling dvd-player, hooked up though DVI)
Harmony 880 remote (controls everything with 1 button. for example, say you wanted to watch a dvd. press watch dvd on the screen, and the projector will turn on and go to input 2, the receiver will turn on and go to DVD, the dvd player will turn on and eject the tray, and the lights will automatically dim)
Lutron Maestro (remote controlled light switch)
Turntable (borrowed from friend)


and the following game consoles are hooked up to this through a Pelican System Selector Pro:

Microsoft Xbox (modded, monster component, fiber optics audio)
Microsoft Xbox (monster component)
Sony Playstation 2 (monster component, fiber optics audio)
Nintendo Gamecube (component)


I began collecting video games 2 years ago, and have amassed quite a collection since then (you can get the complete list at http://users.ign.com/collection/s1xstr1ngsav1or )


I also collect anything and everything oasis (the best band in history) and have quite a nice collection of that too (the oasis "vox box" at the bottom is worth over $1500 and only 100 were made). On the same shelf as my oasis stuff is my small dvd collections, because I netflix most of my movies (only the classics get a permanent place in my collection, such as Live Forever or the Snatch Superbit). The posters around the basement have to be either oasis, travis (my second favorite band), British movies (trainspotting, layer cake, lock stock, ect.) or Keira Knightley (the most beautiful girl in the world). I have not bothered decorating much, with my departure drawing close, but I have over 100 oasis magazine covers to frame and hang before I leave.


The handhelds are the usual fare, and include:


Sony PSP
Nintendo DS
Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP (not pictured)
3 Nintendo Game Boy Advances
Tiger Game.com
Sega Game Gear
Neo-Geo Pocket Color
Sony Playstation w/ Screen


The computers sit on the other end of the basement. The dual screen computer is my main gaming/internet-surfing computer, and is made up of:


2 20in IBM monitors
3.2ghz Intel P4 CPU
1gb DDR400 ram
HD1- 120gb
HD2- 160gb
HD3- 300gb
Sony DVD-RW/+RW Dual Layer Drive
Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum Sound Card
NVIDIA GeForce FX5950 Ultra 256mb Video Card


The other computer is used for strictly for iTunes and AIM 99% of the time, but can be used to play some LAN counter-strike. It is made up of:


17in Flat Screen Compaq Monitor
2.46ghz Intel P4 CPU (overclocked)
1gb DDR333 ram
HD1- 80gb
HD2- 80gb
Sound Blaster Audigy Sound Card
Technics SA-EX400 Receiver (powers my speakers)
2 JBL HLS820 floorstanding speakers


Last but not least is "the wine cooler", which can not only quench the thirst of 21+ year olds, but can also keep Little Hugs or Gatorade chilled. Next to that is the bathroom, which is used for bath stuff. On the other side of the basement is a Neo-Geo MVS arcade cabinet, and a MAME cabinet that I built that plays any ROM you could want. Both are under construction (being repainted), so I couldn't take pics of them at this time.

How in the world does that little shelf/table unit hold that gigantic television?

How in the world does that little shelf/table unit hold that gigantic television?

the amazing thing is that i built that self, when i was like 13, and used a lot of glue. its sturdy as hell though

[XYXZYZ]

I get the subtle impression you're rather partial to Oasis...

I was thinking the same thing. I had a friend that was really big into oasis like that. Nice collection !!

[pacmanhat]

The vinyl of Urban Hymns is the best thing in that room (and the rest of the room is pretty sweet too). God I love Urban Hymns.

Hate to be OT, but are you also a big Verve fan? My fave is a toss up between the EP & A Storm in Heaven.

Saw Oasis last week in Atlantic City. Fantastic show.

Looks like you have a nice chillin' room going on there.

[Animerforever05]

shoot! thats nice! @_@

[Joker T]

Sweet room, you got some sweet AV equipment @_@

[Gamebrain]

Dont tell me I just saw a laguna beach DVD there.


God I hate MTV :angry:

i love laguna beach. season 1 was amazing, mind-blowing even.

[secretvampire]

Nice setup. I'm not sure how you can stand anything by Oasis past their first two albums, but to each his own. :)

Want to buy a Japanese laserdisc of Live by the Sea? I have both the LD and DVD, I could probably get by without having hte laserdisc.

[TheRedEye]

A CHAMPAGNE SUPERNOVER IN THE SKYYYYY

[Slate]

That is a good looking collection. I like the NES. :)

I have to ask.. Why do you have three xboxes?

[shvnsth]

modded for projector, unmodded (xbox live) for projector, and modded for tv.

[Sylentwulf]

Looks great. But 2 things REALLY Detract. Get rid of the piece of carpet in the first pic.
And spraypaint your couch, or burn it, or throw a sheet over it, or something :P

[Jumpman Jr.]

Really neat looking. I love neat collections :rocker:

[poloplayr]

I have a MASSIVE Oasis Bootleg CD collection (original pressed CDs not CD-Rs) that I'm looking to downsize or get rid off. PM if interested. I used to be the biggest Oasis fan, ever since I partied with them after a gig a few weeks after Definitely Maybe was released. Those were the days...

How in the world does that little shelf/table unit hold that gigantic television?

Those Sony Grand Wegas are deceptively lightweight.

My friend's got the 60", and it's only like 70-some pounds. We both first lifted it up expecting it to weigh a couple hundred and damn near threw it up in the air by accident.

They also RULE, can't recommend them enough. Awesome TV's for gaming.

[NintendoMan]

Cool, I love your setup. In this in your own home, or in your parents basement or something? Because I love how much room you have.
Oh yeah, awesome TV too!!!
