When I saw them naked, I thought they were of a few interest, but with their new colour they are damned sexy!

Thank You All for the compliments!!!  :D

Only one bummer so far... The light kits I bought from IKEA didn't come with a power cord!  I wouldn't be upset at this, but a power cord is a "given" and there should have been a sign for that, So we went back to the store... Double bummer... sold out!   I'm not going to make a 3rd trip into Houston, (53 Miles!) so I ordered them online....   :?

Updates Soon!  ;D

Those last pictures totally remind me of "the videogame store from your dreams!" in the 90's
Has that distinct videogame store look and feel to it, but much more epic :D Well done!

Progress has slowed due to OCD placement of posters and displays, as well as holidays coming up.

Current project:  Fixing up Sega Genesis Display Station.  I has no original stand, been placed on a table with ugly fluorescent light.

How to fix this?  I know.... Off to IKEA!   ;D


Stuff To Get:







The LACK stands were the perfect choice, it's like they were made to hold this display!!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D

I just secured them together, and PERFECTION!!





Next:  Installing DIODER LED's  New Life into an awesome display with Sonic Colors!!!









And lastly, I replaced the CRT monitor that was failing with the perfect size LCD!  Super Bright Color!!!!!  :D

Now that this project is done... back to work on the rest of the game room!!!   Stay Tuned!!!

It's always a bit sad to replace a CRT with a LCD, but I must admit that these Ikea furnitures were made for your display, it's really looking good!
