Video Game Auction Watch / Re: Complete set of US SNES games

Well I'd give him $4.17 for Hagane in a heart beat 
I really, really want that game for some reason. I've been on an SNES kick lately.

What do you guys really think it's worth? About half that?

Agreed! There are very few houses with finished out basements in Oklahoma that are relatively new for some reason. Thus, I'm stuck in an office with limited space.

Ha. No problem. Glad you like them! I can't believe I never thought of using them before.

No bowing with the DVDs luckily! Guess I can't be the test dummy.

I actually picked up one of the Big Lots shelves today. I'm using it to store DVDs. If I have a bowing issue I'll mess around with it and let you guys know what worked for me.

Oh, I'm pretty OCD about that stuff too. If I wasn't going for all black shelving it would have probably required some paint.

Thought about doing that, but yes the weak backing board made me weary. I'll give it a shot on one of the shelves and see how it goes.
Cool. Let me know how it goes. I was going to pick one up to store DVDs.

« on: August 01, 2011, 03:05:59 pm »Can you tell us where you got the shelves with the consoles on it? The shelf I'm using for my consoles is too damn tall as its a old ass bookshelf.
If not I'm just gonna go to home depot this weekend and make one! lol
Sure.
Funny you mentioned Home Depot...
4 of these: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-100118601/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053

All in black of course.
I'm actually considering mounting my TV on the wall (already have an extra wall mount) and running the same thing below the TV so it looks like a nice custom tv unit. The one I have now is nice but it's glass and that kind of kills the all black wood vibe I have going on.

« on: August 01, 2011, 02:19:29 pm »Yep, looks the same as mine. I still need to take a picture, but one solution I came up with was to wedge one of those plastic transparent NES cart cases with the red Nintendo logo on it into the middle of the shelf below a full shelf of carts. It's the perfect height to hold it up straight. I've got my Gameboy collection sitting in the cubby it forms. Photo will help...
If you guys using that cd rack from Big Lots put on the back piece you could just tack a few nails across the back along the shelves. That should fix the bowing issue. I know that backing stuff isn't that strong but as long as you have say, 4 nails across each shelve the weight distribution should be enough to keep them from bowing/the nails ripping out.
The bowing issue is one reason why I went with the shelving I did.

Nice work with the console display... what do you all do in re: to dust?
Thanks. I actually managed to add one more shelf on the bottom since I took that picture to handle all of my handhelds. It's been working really well. Plus, they're cheap. I think the 4 shelves and the track cost about $50-65 all together. Be sure you use some really, really good anchors if you're putting consoles on them. I think the anchors I used can handle up to 100 or 200 lbs a piece.
To manage dust I use a swiffer hand held duster thing. It's great for cleaning off my plasmas as well since you can't really use much on the screen without messing up the anti-glare film.
If I can remember I'll post a pic of my whole game room sometime. That's about half of it. It's a good sized space for what I need but I have an old SDTV to the left of the Panny that I to hook up anything pre-hdmi (other than the Wii) which takes up a lot of potential shelf space. Eventually I'm going have a built-in made to house everything.

I use these: http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/182-3299478-3151726?asin=B00362A1G2&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=B00362A1G2
I have four of them (two on top of two). The only downside is that I have a lot of my games doubled up in the shelves, but it's great for a space saver.

Classic Video Games / Re: Zelda test cart?
« on: August 16, 2011, 02:20:28 pm »
Darko, I think you're misunderstanding me here...the test carts are Yellow, but not metallic in any way, this guy was explaining that his cart was still metallic, but a different shade of metallic, and he even went as far as to say "you can barely tell the difference." All of the research I've done has turned up nothing that indicates 2 different shades of metallic paint on Zelda carts. I'm thinking he might have "comic book guy" syndrome. Regardless, I'm gonna ask him to bring it in for me to see the next time I see him in the store, I've gotta clear this up now, especially since I've dragged you guys into it!
Ahhhhhh. Okay. That makes much more sense. Sorry, guess I didn't read deep enough into the posts :/
