Thrift stores couldn't sell those cabinets 10 years ago and now they won't take them at all.

I just took this photo. Is my setup next level? I RGB modded the Sony if it helps.What's the CRT on the bottom left?
Also yes.

Not that expensive at all.
In the 90s you could get a 40in for maybe like $500.
$500 in the 90s would be equivalent to around $1000 today. That's a very expensive TV and more than I've spent on displays in total across my adult life (which includes some nice IPS computer displays)

It still is next level. Modern setups aren't nearly as cool. TVs mounted to the wall, game consoles on the floor, and who even has a dedicated stereo system anymore?

No Saturn?

I've got one at my son's place we need to get rid of. I probably should just get the sawzall and have him dispose over time

They're hilariously worthless for anything but the original purpose. And that's from a guy who repurposes crap off the side of the road every week.
Even if they're real wood, the dimensions are useless. Maybe it could be chopped into a couple of tiny plant stands? LOL, now you got me thinking what I could do! Still, haven't found a use for them after all these years.

I use it for my regular Nintendo and Sega Genesis.

Have you softmodded the PS1 to accept backups? There's a disc you can burn that if you do the swap trick with it it will configure a memory card to be used to load backups

I think it's a MiSTer.
Isn't the MiSTer like, way bigger than that?

Was it common for people to have a turntable in their setup at this time?

What do you use for you irregular Nintendo?

yes, but it was only used once because, as you can see, you had to pull the whole system out of the shelf to change records.

See, now that's just the TV stand for the newer TV on top!
But seriously, why the fake drawers in these? The drawer handles even rotated, but you'd just be pulling against the wood.

I have that exact Aiwa music player.
Last Sunday when I went back to my parents house, I noticed that the clock was blinking because there was a blackout, so I turned on and I saw that the 5 CD changer not only gets stuck but the laser doesn't see the discs anymore
I'm sad
