it is pretty small, yes. I have a giant 36 inch 100,000 lb. CRT in the garage that I could not get to fit properly in the game room so I opted to use the smaller one. The room isn't very big so it works out a lot better than I was originally expectingQuote:

What size is your gameroom, if you don't mind me asking Robotoscandance? Looks about the size of mine.
P.S.> I agree about the 36 incher. Maybe you can take it apart, bring it in like that? I moved in a couch and an arcade cab through an opening much like that.
I can fit the TV through the door to get it into the room, what I meant was that it doesn't fit anywhere in the room. it takes up too much space and there is a lot of wasted space because of it.
I'm not sure the exact size of the game room, I'd guess somewhere around 12x12
You could slide your tv stand either to the left or the right and put the 36 incher on the floor next to it. Or you could buy a small separate standalone tv stand for it. One of the ones that is only the width of a crt.
Or perhaps you could put the big 36 incher on your current tv stand and remove one or two of the consoles. You could place a smaller console on top of the tv, or get a small stand of some kind and put it next to the current stand, and put the 2 newest consoles on it. Just spitballing here. But they have those little shelves, and you could get one like a little cube and set it right next to your current stand.
Edit: something like this.

I would eventually like to have it in the room. It's still a work in progress, as I don't even have all my systems unpacked yet (my saturn is still in a box in the garage somewhere). One issue I have is finding a small enough stand that is strong enough to support it, as the thing weighs over 200 lbs. The current stand is not rated to support that much weight. I considered building my own stand for it, but I've got other home improvement projects I'm working on right now. The current CRT works well enough for the time being, so I'm not worried about it.Quote:

Nice neat and tidy setup there. I particularly like that the wires going to the wall mounted TV are obscured. Nice black furniture too.
I prefer a very clean set-up. That means only 1 console hooked up at a time:
