Where did you find shelves like mine that are one game deep...and do they come in black?

Actually I got that shelving unit at Best Buy forever ago... prolly overpaid for it too. I think they were also available in black too, not sure if they are still available or not. As much as I love black, I hate dusting it to keep it clean, the wood grain is a little more forgiving.
Got to respect that Saturn collection. It makes mine look like it doesn't even exist (which isn't too far from the truth). I have a really difficult time finding decent Saturn games in the wild.

Thanks, the rare ones I've snagged off ebay or Amazon, but I make sure to watch a bunch of auctions and refuse to bid ridiculous amounts. Also, I tend to buy lots when possible, the white shoe box on the bottom shelf is actually some of my doubles, though the cases are all jacked up on them. I got a whole bunch in Ohio when we went to that CCAG show in Cleveland. Most of them were pretty cheaply priced too... only problem was, some of them were just tossed in boxes and mismatched.
I try to hit the local used game shops every couple months to see if they have anything, usually they don't. This one place has had the same copy of NHL 97 on the shelf for almost a year, ha.

Okay, here's some pics from me. The camera sucked, couldn't find the good ones, so bear with the terrible quality :P
That's where I have my PS3 connected to my HDTV, and a bunch of stuff around that. Also included in picture: 2 dogs (the black and white one is blind actually), because Scott's pics didn't have any animals.
And my retro-gaming set-up: (yes, that IS 4 E.Ts in front of the TV)
Got my Genesis/32X/Sega CD, SNES, NES, Saturn, Atari, TG-16 and N64 plugged into that TV ready to play anytime. It's a pretty cool TV, called the Samsung GX, that has a sub-woofer on top and the speakers open and close in front of the screen like a door.
Also, all the shelving other than that thing under my HDTV is home-made.
I have a few close-up pictures of specific parts here too:

Seriously... why 4 ET games? lol

Props for having the Frankensystem hooked up 24/7. That reminds me that I still need to find a 32X!

There can be multiple reasons:
1. Collect enough copies to build a house out of them (or a "House of Fail" if you will).
2. HUGE E.T.-burning bonfire.
3. Collect ALL the copies, have a monopoly and then sell them all for ridiculous prices (hehehe...).
4. For the same reason I try to find cheap copies of Shaq Fu and Superman 64 or other bad games (AKA lulz).
Really though, only one of them is a copy I bought, one of them was free, and 2 others were in a huge bundle (that included a vectrex and atari 7800 and 40 other atari games).

Frankensystem indeed, that was a hassle to even figure out how to hook it up. I tend to keep the AC adaptors NOT plugged in though, since they take too much space, I plug them in only as needed.
