What kinds of electronics do you have in your room? Game systems? Computers? Big stereos?

In my room (In Oregon...)
I have a computer... very old and crappy. Compaq presario 5184(Made in 1999) prepares for laughing
A Game gear.
A genesis..(Have to bring it to the livingroom to play.)
And a dinky alarm clock radio.

EDIT: Also do you plan on getting anything else?

Why a few radios? :)

Ouch spare compy parts. Sounds like my livingroom (in Oregon).:o But probably not as bad..

I don't really remember, I must have gotten them all as freebies. They're pretty small. I think have two boombox style ones that are about 8 inches long and 1 boxy one that is the same size but the speakers come off the base.

Another question to ask is: How often are you actually in your room? I'm rarely in my room. Only in there for sleep really.

I got one from my mom, one from my dad, the one I got from my mom is like a 12", and the one from my dad is a much older, about to die 24", so I rarely actually use any of them. :) If I do watch TV, I use my LCD monitor and my TV Card :) (I have my ATI remote programmed to launch and controll all the media programs I use :D)

Heh I had a sega genesis... loooong ago, great system though, I emulate it these days though :) I have a 25" TV, haven't turned it on once since I moved, a PC (Model N/A) as I built it myself, a stereo with no speakers (cousins stole em when I moved out years ago), a 75 disc KDS DVD holder USB (this puppy is cool all I have to do is look through the list of DVD's I have click eject and it ejects that DVD/CD) I'm also in need of another one of em since my DVD collection has expanded beyond 75 discs, I probably have 60 more in a caddy. That's about it, other than my MS force feedback joystick, Intel webcam, and stereo 3D glasses (I don't use it anymore as it gives you a headache and the adaptor makes the refresh rate on my monitor crap, as if it wasn't already :P) I have a remote for my TV tuner card too... just don't know where it is, my cat ate the IR receiver anyway :( oh and my trusty Ti-89 calculator, still use it to balance the checkbook etc.

I have two :) ATI TV Wonder Pro, and a Hauppage WinTV 401 DBX. Well, 3 if you count my old ATI AIW Rage 128 Pro.

Acoustic Guitar, low-end FM keyboard, my computer, "arcade machine", radio, lights, sometimes a bass guitar, portable boombox, some decently high quality speakers that were in the Vietnam War. (!)

In addition to that, as far as junk is concerned, quite a few videocards, cables, gutted powersupplies, CDs in the hundreds (and not on spindles, mind you), and bunches of crappy speakers someone gave me. The list just goes on, really.

a stompbox/guitar processor,

Oh yeah, I forgot the Digitech RP300, NES, and so on.

Wow, RallyMonkey is up to date on his gamage tools.

I forgot to add original GameBoy and color GameBoy ;)

Speaking of TVs, you should see the old TV my dad had. It used to work like a charm, but then the screen started stretching vertically. Now nearly 1/10 of the screen is lost on the top and bottom (total of 1/5). That's probably an understatement. Playing certain games on that TV was fun. One of the games I used to play on it had the health bar at the top, so with this TV I could only see part of it. Had to guess when I was going to die.

Hmm...

Computer, printer, dreamcast, not working scientific calculator, TV, DVD player, walkman, radio+alarmclock, an old 14" monitor on the wardrobe, and lots of computer thingies (old video card, sound card, cables and more cables, cd/dvd readers (broken or almost broken, I have very bad luck with these), mpeg-2 decoder card + cables)....

Does this happen to anyone else?

New computer. Waiting for an AMD with PCI-e board.

Steve: Why not rip all the CDs? That'd be a darn lot more convient, and if you don't like any programs out there for playing and organizing the mp3s you could make your own!
75+60 CDs * 15 songs on average * 5 minutes average = 10gigs which is Chummmmp space. :P

Yeah yeah. That would work well. :) Then you could have more space.

I have a DVD burner now (Dual Layer 8.5GB) but all the discs I have in the KDS "jukebox" are DVD's, same as the ones in the caddy, so that would be wrong to rip them... unless I downstream them into something more manageable and even then I'd need like 200 GB to store it all.

If I'm at home, I'm likely in my room. It's like an apartment down here... I have a bathroom, main room, and two rooms I'm currently using as storage rooms. The one I plan to clean out eventually.

Why do you need both PS's if you have a PS 2?:-/ You should sell it. :)

Hey check this out!
I can do this with my phone too!

Freaky thing is that I was thinking about this earlier. Thinking, "I could my phone for evidence if some guy tried to mug me on the streets here.."

I wish I didn't sell mine :(
PlayStation games look far better on a PlayStation than they do on a PlayStation2.
Final Fantasy VIII looks awful on PS2, as well as Front Mission 3 and Final Fantasy Tactics. The particle effects in almost all games look much worse. :(

Some games are also slightly buggy. Command & Conquer : Red Alert, for example.
