My previous “setup” was a total mess. I rearranged my room a while ago, but didn’t get around to build a nice setup until now.

The first step was to build something that my Philips 32PW9951 HD CRT could sit on. It weighs 50kg (110lbs), so I didn’t bother to much with finding some piece of furniture that could hold it. I ended up using a kitchen top with 6 strong metal feet (40cm/15.7" in height) screwed into it. It ended up working pretty well.

While the drawers that my smaller Sony KV-21FX20D stands on aren’t perfect, its good enough for now.

I still neede something to put all my consoles into, so I bought a used shelf for 15€ and removed the backside so that I can route my cables through.

I think it fits really well, there was also space for my VHS player, scart switch and a lamp on the side too.

I really like how it turned out. All my consoles are connected now and it’s sooo much better than it all was before. I acutally want to sit down and play something now.

This is what’s connected now:

• Wii U (AV out over YPbPr, directly to the CRT)
• PC (15m HDMI cable to HDMI switch, then to the CRT)
• Switch (HDMI, also to the HDMI switch at first)
• DVD Player (not yet connected, need a bigger scart switch)
• VHS Player (also not connected)
• Gamecube (RGB scart to scart switch, then to my other CRT)
• Wii (same as Gamcube)
• PS2 (also same as Gamecube)
