Display Shelf Ideas?
« on: June 20, 2017, 01:55:52 pm »
I just finished making my gaming entertainment console with my father-in-law last week.  I finish putting in all the consoles, just a few more tweaks left till i can take some pictures.

Next on the docket is a way to display all the handheld devices i have.  Do you have any recommendations, as i would like to find something more "off the shelf" then have to build it like i did with the gaming console.

It will hold these 11 portable gaming consoles.  So far haven't really seen anything online that looks good most are to bulky.  My wife had an idea for more of a "shadow box" like concept but haven't seen anything that could fit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you looking for a stand for these? If so you might find the stands they sell at Rose Colored Gaming to your liking. Just recently saw them on Metal Jesus Rocks gaming room tour on youtube, might get one or two of these for my room.

I do like the stands but i was looking more for an idea on what to make (or if something you can buy out of box or customize IKEA) to create a shelf or stand to display the systems.

Thanks for reminding me of this site. I think it was a Metal Jesus Rocks video that he mentioned these awesome additions to a collection room. My man-room is now the nursery, but in the near future, I'll have a new room built and this site will get a lot of money from me for my consoles, displays, and games.

Yeah, those guys get stuff sent to them ALL the time. His big box copy of Earthbound was gifted to him by some fan. I'm happy with my meager 280+ games at this time. One day I might own an entire collection, but that won't be for a long time!

I enjoy the Immortal John Hancock. His collection is insane. I'd like to have a beer with him and talk video games.

That Sealed Super C for PC is another $1000 game he got gifted to him. I don't get it, I can't even get $1 on patreon to support my site and he's getting $1000 games just for making a few videos. lol

I can't cry about Suikoden II too much, I got my copy for around $50 by piecing it together. got the manual and disc for $50, then bought case & manual for $25 and sold the manual for the same price lol.

I don't suppose anyone knows of any UK-based sites like this? I'd love to have these sorts of stands but I really don't want to pay/wait for imports.

I made a video several years ago showing an inexpensive stand.  It's not as nice as the rose colored stands, but if you don't find a local alternative, it might be worth a shot to you.

I use business card stands. They work great for all of my GB/GBC/GBA, DS's and PSP, and they're like $1 US. You would need something to tier them, but that's the easy part.

https://www.officesupply.com/office-supplies/desk-organizers/desktop-organizers-holders/business-card-holders/universal-mesh-metal-business-card-holder-cards-black/p272111.html?ref=pla&product_id=272111&adpos=1o3&creative=165777859143&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhpeBqPjR1AIVkLXACh24iQlfEAYYAyABEgIFl_D_BwE

I never thought of using business card stands I have a few these at work we ain't using I might have to bring those home. And looking at that site for all the custom stands what I took from is they made pink PSP 3000 and I kinda want it. I love weird colored handhelds
