Love the pictures and an amazing looking collection

Nice setup, but you need a bigger TV
I like the shelves the loose NES games are on, are they real wood or the particle board stuff?

I use Photobucket.com for my image hosting. You can have up to 1GB worth of stuff per account, but the accounts are free and you can have more than one

Thanks guys. I do plan on getting a bigger TV, its the worst one in the house right now. The woman said the good one goes in the living room. The shelves I bought at a place here in Omaha called Nebraska Furniture Mart and they are real wood. On one hand, I paid a lot for them and kind of wanted to make my own, but on the other hand I love the way these shelves look. And the games fit so perfectly. My only problem is its about full now and I'll need another one soon!

I'm glad they're real wood. All the furniture in my game room is solid wood except one piece which is being replaced soon. That particle board crap looks nice for about a year until the laminate starts to peel or chunks just start falling off. And it's getting to be not much cheaper than solid wood these days anyway.

I'm in the process of building some shelves that will look very similar to those, just bigger.

Love the shelving units and the organization.

awesome stuff. Have you thought about alphabetizing by cart type, and then by game name? Have all your Nintendo manufactured carts before your Tengen stuff?

I know it can be a big hassle, but when you have a lot of cartridges together like that, they look even cooler when separated by cart type.

Your pics seem to have extremely large file sizes, were they jpeg's originally or something else? I took a couple of them and tried re-saving them as jpgs myself, and they saved at 1/5 of the size they are on the site with no loss of quality or size. That's why you've run out of room so fast. At a normal jpeg size you'd be able to fit 50+ large pics into your profile gallery here at RFGen. 

As an example, the pic you posted above lists at 431kb, but it can be re-saved as small as ~85kb with no changes in quality or dimension.

pwpcody - The collection is looking really good. Great organization, especially for all the NES carts, that shelf is a great fit for them. 

Nothing worse than a beautiful collection in a messy space.

Thanks guys, I am really proud of all of it.


Yes, I have thought about organizing by cart type, and also on the genny side of things by case color, (reds, blacks, etc). I might try it to see if I like it.


The pictures were taken on a digital camera and were scaled down from 100 percent to twenty five percent using photoshop. How did you reduce the file size? Because I do have a lot more pictures that IO would like to upload.

I'm guessing that the camera and Photoshop isn't using jpeg compression for these pics. All I did was open it in Paint, hit "save" without making any changes, that's it.

[Beardcore84]

Wow. I will def try that. If I get it to work, so many more pics will be posted. Thanks!

The easiest way to make the file size smaller for web view in photoshop is to choose the Save for Web option, instead of just save.  It lets you adjust the detail to file size ratio, tells you the current file size and even has an option to preview in your web browser to see what it will actually look like.
