Love that carpet! Wow  :-*
In Europe, such 'black light' carpets cost really too much  :evil: I wanted to go that way for my V3, but the high price x the big surface = just too much for a such purpose  :-\

Now it's time to set up the console gaming center:

After a visit to IKEA  ;D

They have nice stuff! I found a EXPEDIT white case, with all the spaces, looks perfect for holding game systems!

So, after getting 2 EXPEDIT cases, I found these nifty LED light kits DIODER!  They change colors! 

After assembly, I glued and bolted them together, put floor sliders on them and then wired up the LED Lights!





Up next, testing lights... setting up games and T.V.   :pac:  :ghost:  :spaceace:   :D  :D

I'm currently working on that.... multi power strips attached to the back... and 3 selector switches for all the "video in" systems.  I'll run a cable to the coax antenna in for Atari etc.  I'll probably need to get controller extension cables for some systems like nes/snes/n64/genesis.

Some systems will not fit in the cubby holes, like ColecoVision, So I'll just set up some shelves for those.

Very nice setup! I've also been looking for the same kind of carpet, also got stopped dead in my tracks by the high costs of acquiring it here in Europe :(

Look up L1 Games on youtube and watch his gameroom build.  His setup with automatic input switchers and clean install is amazing.  New addition is looking great Barry looking forward to more updates.

I still have an amazing Metal Sonic that nobody seems to buy here in my shop. Poor guy... :(
Looking for Dragons Lair 1 or 2, Space Ace, Double Dragon, Robotron and yeah... a Shinobi would be cool, too!
