Dealing with the wires in my gameroom has always been a hassle, and I always thought there was no good solution to it besides just tying them all up with twisty ties and velcro. However, I found something cool that may just do the trick.

This is great cable TV.

@madcat4563 Год назад

I was never bothered by your cable management. It looked fine to me. Edit: Wow, it looks amazing now. Especially with the coat of paint. So, today I learned about a new cable management product.

@SirDinielFortesque Год назад

I always love how the people that leave bad comments seem to never have a display pic or even any videos on there channel.

@cjwalker8701 16 дней назад

To those people who were complaining about Cable management; I wonder if they even realized how unforgiving they were back then. Cables were somewhat thick. Sometimes they were malleable, but you didn’t wanna force them.

@idkvolfenshtein2600 Год назад

To paint plastic you gotta sand the item. Paint it and then add a clear coat to it so it can last! I also learn the same way as you! Keep it up man!

@EgillH Год назад

Team red! Tubing like this is great! The only problem is if you want to change the setup or move a console it becomes even more of a hassle. So you better review your setup and decide if you are happy with it the way it is before you start tubing

@nickwallette6201 Год назад

It isn't bad, and it might even be easier. This is very similar to cable management in data / phone network environments, which I've used a lot for the last couple decades. You can just pull the cover off the channel to expose the inside, and then route your new cable, or remove an old one, etc., then snap the cover back on. Contrast that to undoing and redoing velcro strips every few inches...

@craigachuff6087 Год назад

Team Red. It's my favorite color. Both ways look awesome. I'm still amazed at your game room. Next will be a projector screen to pop down just in front of one set of shelves and have a console connected to a projector. 🙂 Just throwing out ideas for more content? Love the channel.

@GamingTheSystems1 Год назад

For now I need to keep the costs down, but I may add a PC desk to the room.

@ohmlord Год назад

very good!! also good decision on the paint, im sure people said to sand it but honestly its already done just spot paint it whenever, you never know you might decide to change it completely one day. Cable management isn't the worst either no matter what people have said, you're at least conscious about the draw of power and the isolation of the many different power bricks im sure you deal with.

@PsychoVision19 Год назад

Quick tip for painting plastic. Use sandpaper to rough up the plastic your gonna paint. If you just paint plastic it will slowly chip off cause the paint has nothing to adhere to. Sanding it fixes that

@nickwallette6201 Год назад

Especially if that's nylon.

@ericvanhandel1122 Год назад

Your humor cracks me up. Glad you are doing this. Keep up the good work sir!

@GamingTheSystems1 Год назад

Thanks. I actually had to cut some of the humor out on this one. Got too carried away.

@jak8274 Год назад

This is the exact same tubing I got for my desk and it changed my whole life. It really is a night and day difference!

@falllenshadow Год назад

the red paint on the raceways are really nice, paint it alllllll its painful but its going to look so nice. i really love this type of setup with those covers

@notacultleader4162 Год назад

Always enjoy a nice cup of coffee while watching your videos I don’t usually comment just wanted to say I love your videos

@GamingTheSystems1 Год назад

This is high quality entertainment!

@tbote Год назад

Looks great. Good call on not putting fabric to avoid a fire

@Ragnorok64 Год назад

Nice! Those raceways are a good price, I might pick some up for myself. Man, you just keep coming up with setup ideas for me to steal. Keep up the good work.

@GamingTheSystems1 Год назад

There's always something else on Amazon!

@Totallyking Год назад

Very cool. Love how much you take care of your game room!

@jacobg6528 Год назад

The painted red looks really good even from the sides !

@iyanlosada4544 Год назад

My favorite part is this man´s setup is the toothbrush

@xtimx805 Год назад

Looks real slick man. Great job

@Cinefessions Год назад

These looks awesome! Great work.

@Clipahoy Год назад

Love your setup man!

@koztech Год назад

One thing that someone with a similar setup could do is to grab some spare cardboard or poster foam board, paint it, and use it to create "fake walls" behind the consoles. Just have holes/notches/cutouts at the top and bottom for cables to route through. Attach to the shelving with Velcro tape to make it easier to remove for maintenance.

@acedaystargaming1987 Год назад

This is such a great idea. Your channel really inspires me for my setup.

@raider762 Год назад

I wouldn't have bothered with cable raceways. For the ease of moving and replacing stuff that is plugged in.

@jeffreycharest9093 Год назад

Excellent. Came out so well. Once it’s totally finished it will be the best ever.

@jdiluigi Год назад

Hey, keep at it. RU-vid is reccomending at least one of your videos to me a day over the last week without yet subscribing. And as you know any gaming topics are crowded field. I love your style/suttle comedy. Keep at it. As you addressed in a previous video its a slow build. Good luck

@GamingTheSystems1 Год назад

Thanks. I'm glad RU-vid is pushing these videos to a wider audience.

@liminal-waves Год назад

Wow this this makes such a big difference! at first I thought black looks better but now that I look at it after you painted it all red I think it looks better than the black.

@pizzamon795 Год назад

congrats on all the Patreon members, they're really multiplying huh

@GamingTheSystems1 Год назад

Like tribbles

@JockoV Год назад

I didn't think the bundled wires were all that bad but after seeing the painted covers it looks really sharp. Nicely done!

@johncasey5594 Год назад

I just discovered your channel today, it was the power bar video. The one thing you didn't mention was the fact that most of these consoles pull about 20-30 watts maybe, so your setup is more than fine and safe. Ignore the haters. When my son was young, I set up his room with a modded Xbox, modded PS2, N64 and Game Cube, all with 2 or more wireless controllers each. Output from all 4 and a VCR were routed through his computer monitor. Yes, I spoiled my son, LOL. Everything was on a big desk, it was quite impressive, not as impressive as yours of course. I looked through your videos and I didn't see one on how you did the signal switching. My son had a 5 way switch which was the largest I could find at the time. Thankfully everything was RGB back then. I imagine your signal switching scheme must be quite complex and impressive, would make a great/interesting video. P.S. We are techies, we like the look of wires as long as they are neat and managed, keep the wires.

@xbiker321 Год назад

That looks fantastic!! Good decision to paint the entire piece red.

@bricegraham8256 Год назад

Dude those tunes look so good man

@PCGamer77 Год назад

It looked fine before, it looked fine with black raceways, it looks fine with red ones now. Another interesting video, thanks for posting.

@namitjain2890 Год назад

Team black! The black contrasted the wall pretty well IMO.

@SMASHINGblargharghar Год назад

Team red. Looks fantastic!! I'm glad you went through with the additional labor, well worth it

@lestibournesw6673 Год назад

Looks awesome man!

@TheMultiGunMan Год назад

Thanks for this video. It's very interesting.

@Personalinfo404 Год назад

Looks awesome!

@johndee759 Год назад

Those cable management channels look awesome.

@volt8ge Год назад

I love this idea!!! I’m also using your mini shelf/stand idea with each console to hide the controller wires. I have 12 consoles on a IKEA shelving unit. I want to post a video about it when I finally get it looking clean.

@GravyDavy78 Год назад

Dude, this is YOUR setup. You do you. Ignore all the haters. With this many systems, yes, you’re going to have a LOT of cables. The way you have them bundled up in the back is just fine. Don’t worry about what all the critics say. If it’s functional and works for you, that’s good enough. Nice touch with the new wire coverings though. It’s a lot of work, and constant improvement is on the minds of all game collectors, so do what you want and what works best for you. The main goal is the overall enjoyment of your game room.

@codycallahan91 Год назад

Nice, I think it looks great!

@CAPCOM784 Год назад

Love it when you show them kinda comments like that! 😆

@sirtonymayo1468 Год назад

I'm sold looks grate 👍

@RAMUSLAM051 Год назад

Looking good!

@Green_Tube Год назад

Nice video it is a lot better than the old wires

@paulcool4384 Год назад

Looks much better !

@JimLeonard Год назад

Thanks for the link to the raceways. Have you considered routing the cables up the outside of the main poles of the racks? They'd be even less visible than in the painted raceways.

@thecurmudgeon7350 Год назад

Your cable management seemed fine to me...Especially with the dark red wall. I'm actually planning on painting my wall a dark bluish grey to better hide the cables behind my setup.

@Sixkill3r Год назад

Looks good 👍

@fiquito01 Год назад

I would say team black, but the red looks good too, looks awesome

@NerdyThrowbackTech Год назад

Good job, looks better

@johndee759 Год назад

Great job

@cvdinjapan7935 Год назад

Love your passion for gaming.

@SylphidUndine Год назад

i appreciate the neatness that cable management and covers offer, but for me, it's too impractical as i frequently change out/swap/maintain devices, unplug and plug cables in etc. i can easily overlook the clutter of cables if it means me not having to bend and twist my body under the desk or behind a shelf. this is also why i never have my (PC) setup up against the wall for easy access so i'm more of a function over form person.

@GamingTheSystems1 Год назад

The covers are a pain to get off, but once they are off it's not too difficult to add and remove things.

@rodneysundergroundlife6473 Год назад

sometimes when I touch wires they hurt me. grandma Martha has a lot of them in her house and they have smoke sometimes

@PCGamer77 Год назад

LOL

@thatssomegoodpie Год назад

Great solution. I didn't mind the black though.

@Nightcore-qr1ur Год назад

I think you are doing alright 👍

@GAMECLOSET Год назад

Yes, the red looks very nice. Those are pretty neat wire tracks. I have never seen anything like those before. Question: had you considered placing them on the supports on either side of each rack? Or would there possibly not be enough cabling in most cases to stretch over that far? That wold further camouflage them. Question 2: is there a possibility of signal degradation due to the number of cables bundled and/or some cables not being shielded heavily enough. (One reason I love Retrovision HD cables- the heavy shielding).

@ElPashmino Год назад

Making videos about odd/strange games in your collection would be quite interesting :D

@bmaga123 Год назад

Black all the way IMO! Looks fantastic 👌

@lc1565 Год назад

The paint came out surprisingly well, I think it's a major improvement. When you paint these again in the future, a quick spray can coating of primer will give you better color consistency and quality once when it's done.

@Jmac1493 Год назад

I was surprised that people say his game center has bad cable management. I thought it was pretty good.

@cameronleggett1363 Год назад

Red fronts with black backs, the red obviously matches the wall nice but then having black backs helps with the shadow cast by them on the wall.

@lonreed9743 Год назад

Here’s what I do, I cut holes in my wall and fished them through another 100% hiding my wires. And for my two wall mounted consoles I’ve arranged the wires to look like a circuit board using clear double sided tape strips.

@RetroBreak Год назад

Looks great! Until you want to change one cable! 😱

@DP12321 Год назад

People do still say awesome and that's what this video was! 👏 I think you made the right decision to paint it all red.

@segaboy9894 Год назад

You should install conduit behind the walls, between the studs.

@user-bc2eq4lg6c Год назад

This is SUCH a serious issue.

@DavidMadara Год назад

I was team Red even BEFORE your executive decision; looks great! Awesome video, as always

@jwkiely Год назад

Trying to appease people in youtube comments can be dangerous for your mental health. Your room is awesome. Toothbrush is clutch. Keep up the good work.

@struttux5156 Год назад

Constructive criticism is always good though.

@GamingTheSystems1 Год назад

Just to clarify, I don't alter anything about the room/channel due to negative feedback. I just like to throw comments in there to make the video interesting. I also intentionally try to attract the negative comments because it drives engagement.

@Dougien Год назад

Great improvement. Looks fantastic. I was team black but the red isn't so bad. More hidden I guess

@lord_beethoven1169 Год назад

Boy. Does that look amazing. I about had an aneurism from satisfaction when I saw the after shots. 😯 Edit: one thing I noticed is that you have somewhat of an advantage on organization when the cables are super long like that. Making it easy to combine the cables from each shelf into one or two columns of wires.

@lonreed9743 Год назад

You could paint just your wall matrix style with alot of green and black going up and down. It would totally camouflage the wires.

@cyrus3055 Год назад

I am on team do what's best for you and not giving a f... about what other people say. Nice setup by the way. I am currently making my own gaming room and get a lot of inspiration. So thank you very much for your videos.

@Clipahoy Год назад

I love you man!

@mariokart8715 Год назад

I may think about getting a wiring management system or a tube.

@datamanmachine Год назад

I have roughly a third of your setup! And even that is a Cable nightmare! Also.... Greetings from Germany!

@squidgyknows4389 Год назад

@Dayoman Год назад

Definetly team red. Great solution here!

@JessicaFEREM Год назад

I had to route about 20 feet of cords because my TV center is on wheels, I ended up using velcro ties and I've never looked back.

@gabrielledoux204 Год назад

Team black but red looks pretty good!

@villageflippinidiot Год назад

The red walls look nice

@bos7aim Год назад

Team leave it half red half black cus it looks cool!

@Ultimategc13 Год назад

This is awesome. YES people still say this. I will need to grab these when I get a game room one day. Apartment living does not allow this. # DC Metro area is too expensive. Have your controllers always been in front of the consoles? I have always been wondering how to organize the controllers in a similar way. I did stumble upon a way to use a mail cubby (for letters) and you can put the controllers in each slot. That is what I currently do. But wrapping the controller wires I assume over time is not good for the cords correct? Plus the cubby takes up space even if the controllers are out away neatly.

@warrenmullett Год назад

It was pretty clean before. But yes a good improvement !

@TheBedtimeBoy Год назад

This actually looks much better

@NinjaFaceGames 4 месяца назад

What about the power bricks? I wanna clean up my cables but the power bricks have me scratching my head a little.

@lukegamer5328 Год назад

Lots of systems and this is great! But honestly ps2 is my favorite console and it has over 4200 games, I like the game cube too, the gc has some great exclusives.

@PrinceMeowmers Год назад

Looks like you're zappin' to the extreme!

@GamingTheSystems1 Год назад

To the extreme! Just like Vanilla Ice.

@m3xecutioner Год назад

Which system do u play the least

@thomasallen4340 Год назад

Iv got a few consoles but only one hooked up. You can only play one at a time.

@magic3383 Год назад

The red is better, but I can't imagine performing such a tedious task. It does look good though.

@joysticksnjukeboxes Год назад

It's always nice to improve things but don't worry about the critics (trolls.) I don't know anyone who has so many consoles hooked up, ready to go, with controllers plugged in. Everyone else seems to have disembodied consoles, on too-small shelves, with no controllers, and that don't look like they're ready to play. I've got ten and I put them in IKEA Kallax shelves but with inserts, so that it's all hidden behind the doors, and the cables are hidden behind the back. Just looks like a cabinet with doors and a tv on top.

@matthewstreets3019 Год назад

😀👍 Hi, Kevin. 😁 I am loving those wire/cable covers. 👍 I must admit, that the result at the end, looks much better. 🙂 And don't worry about those hater critics. 🙂 You will get the odd one, who will hate on your collection. 🙂 Even when you try to improve your set up.
