New gaming setup

[egg-whites333]

Hi guys today i have decided to move my room down to my basement for tones of room and my own bathroom(trust me if you live in a family of girls this is perfect only problem is it flooded not to long ago
so i cant move down yet the floors became moldy wood so i spent all of today pulling up wood. the best part of this is im turning a peice of a bar we had down there into a stand to hold my ps3 original Xbox and ps2 along with games underneath but this also means i have a new gaming setup i just bought this to give a nice glow on my consoles 12" NEW DC 12V Car LED Flexible strip light waterproof 1210 SMD Red colors | eBay (http://www.ebay.ca/itm/12-NEW-DC-12V-Car-LED-Flexible-strip-light-waterproof-1210-SMD-Red-colors-/170898107583?pt=US_Car_Lighting&hash=item27ca522cbf) but i also got an adapter so i dont use car batery we also have one extra mini fridge in our house so guess who gets it. i plan to stock it full of pop and monster XD. i will post pics of progress later. but does anyone else have any ideas for decorations?

[CraeSC111]

*places bid* lol take that.
Anyway... that actually sounds really awesome. I've always wanted my own mini fridge :(

[egg-whites333]

not thoes exact ones XD and yeah i cant wait for it to be ready im thinking some classic game posters or even games just framed i also want this X-Arcade Machine For Home, 205 Classic Arcade Games Included: PC Powered | eBay (http://www.ebay.ca/itm/X-Arcade-Machine-Home-205-Classic-Arcade-Games-Included-PC-Powered-/310355315069?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item48429e497d) but i would have to pay myself and washing dishes plus a 3ds i just bought and a trip to newyork and a gaming laptop plus a possible trip to Jamaica wont cut it :( but oh well

[paecmaker]

I hope it will work for you, just one thing I dont understand....


Y U NO USE THE BAR AS A BAR???

[TheGateKeeper]

Aren't you scared that the Slender Man might show up in the basement at night?

Sorry.

[egg-whites333]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU danm you sir danm you and peac because we already have a bar up stairs silly

[Trunks]

I always wanted a gaming room apart from where everyone else is, I have my room, but it's too close to where everyone always is. Maybe when I move out..

Sounds like an awesome setup, lets just hope it doesn't flood again.

[egg-whites333]

yea :s but atleast the consoles are up high so they wont get wrecked :) i also found some old game posters from old nintendo power im most likley buying :D

[paecmaker]

[Trunks]

Nice, it's starting to look really good.

[egg-whites333]

thanks lights will most likley be in about 2 weeks from now. i decided that it was to much to buy the clasic nintendo power posters so i went with modern call of duty poster :p soon im going to set up my surround sound better and the fridge is now loaded with jones pop and soon monster :P if anyone has any other ideas can tey please tell me i want this to be really cool but i ran out of ideas.

[Slay]

That sounds awesome!
Super jelly of your setup.
Also, I wouldn't suggest that car light strip. Those are extremely strong LEDs.


If you want to do the wiring yourself, get and Arduino or some other variant. And you can pretty much set it up how you want.
However it will be like alot more expensive.
Anyway, looks awesome! :3

[egg-whites333]

thanks it more small then that one there 99 cents

[FunGamer]

I Just got a new set up to, was able to pick up a Triton headset for $20.00 and an Air Flo Controler for $ 18.50 at a place called Charity Givers make sure when you type in google that you look for Charity Givers with an (S) com They have another set of both up for auction and a bunch of other stuff. It was pretty cool cuz I felt good about it cuz it was giving to a charity. If your looking, check 'em out. Right now Im going to play. BTW your set up sounds cool

[Inzombiak]

Heeeey that's not too bad. Looks good.

[TheGateKeeper]

Damn bro where did you get that candy machine from? Gib XD

[LemonRising]

Looks pretty cool man!
All I can suggest is more posters, more sweet ass lighting, and more energy drinks! (and alcohol when you're older :p )

And a small lift that goes upstairs to get you food (dumb waiter) so that you can game non stop XD

[Mizel]

[CraeSC111]

Just steal one from your local college. For some reason they all seem to have one...

[Mizel]

Mine didn't have anything cool :(

[CraeSC111]

Lol I fixed the one at my old community college. Someone had screwed up the power cord and the college couldn't find anyone to fix it so I replaced the cord for them. They wouldn't pay me for it though...

[Mizel]

Aw, bastards!

[egg-whites333]

lol my dad wont give me our 50" 3D tv wtf is up with that... :p lemon i need beer in there XD also yes i will get more posters my mom used to work at a place with a broken candy machine so we took it i fixed it up and now it works :D dont have a place for it in my room yet though still looking i know somone who makes stickers and sells them he makes anything so i might get him to make me up a few game related stickers :D

[CraeSC111]

You need a 3D printer

[Mizel]

Those things are awesome O_O

[egg-whites333]

[CraeSC111]

3D printing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing) is the ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mizel]

Awh hermit crabs are cute I've always wanted one but I've got too many pets already lol

[egg-whites333]

lol i like them for there personality like i had one who was a little guy who would scare off one of my bigger ones and he was a though fighter in there little bump wars or whatver they are where they run at each other he also lifts up the co-co nut home i have for him and litterly tips it upside down if it is in his way... then there is the one who everyone who is scarred to pick up beause he looks like he could hurt if he pinched but does wimpy piches if he pinches at all he likes to switch his shell and switch back quickly idk why. i dont get how they work and thats what i love about them. :3

[Mizel]

They're surprisingly sweet lil guys :P If I could afford a new tank, I totally would.

[egg-whites333]

ever heard of good will i saw a 20 g tank for like 10 bucks so just need a UTH fresh fruit n stuff to feed them 2 hermit crabs not one a few hidy holes adds up to about 50 bucks a pretty cheap pet but you have to take care of it right :3

[Mizel]

Wow, that's a good deal. But yea, expensive. I think I had like.... 10-15 at one point. My hermit crabs LOVED coconut!

[egg-whites333]
