Gaming Man Cave (what would you do?)

Bazippy · 4 Jun 2016 at 15:42

Finally moving house, I have two girls and a wife so I'm outnumbered! My house is pink as is my life. Ill be having my own mancave room dedicated to gaming really. So what would you do? any ideas? got a 3 monitor setup so that's the basics of where I'm starting.
Anything you would do? Gaming wall paper (single wall)?, lighting?
Bit of fun really but any ideas might get used!

Been running a projector in the bedroom instead of a tv for a few years(console gaming too). I will have a spare projector to hand when I move although its only 720p, might consider putting it into the room although I think id rather game on the pc with the monitors.

Coke & hookers!

Also make sure the door to your man cave has a letterbox so you can poo through it.

Kinda a good point, have a steering wheel and pedals could put them onto a mount to make it work better.

A big lazyboy style chair with a corsair lapdog, beer fridge within arms reach then who cares what the rest of the room looks like as youll only be looking at your screens.

Never seen the lapdog before, I rather like that!

I made my own when i hurt my back last year, i couldnt sit on a normal PC chair for a few months, i could only sit on a sofa type chair where i could lay back so i got some wood and made one.

I dont know if its a good idea to be that comfy while gaming though as ya end up spending a lot more time sitting there, having desk and chair that makes you sit upright and isnt well padded will get ya moving around a bit more i guess and stop ya slobbing out.

I only tend to game for a maxium of 1-2 hours a day after kids have to bed. massively comfy isnt something I really need. More about making my geek room just look epic. Once im in im going to have to really think about it. Best way to hide wires maybe a custom built desk. Even considered one of the desk pc things where you the desk is the pc. Or making my own wall mounted system.

Yeah, im a kitchen fitter so its easy for me to make a custom desk so ive always built one to suit my PC, but i think a wall mounted PC would be great. If i wasnt in a rented property i would have wall mounted my PC ages ago.

I currently have my pc system on brackets on the wall, it provides great airflow and stops dust from the floor or saves space on the desk. The custom build display cabinet type pcs are brilliant so i might try that for my next build.
