This place looks very good. This mini TV looks so cool.
I like shelfs made of drawers, with cassettes, movies and games collection.
What is this mixer with two cassettes, I never seen before?
I'm not sure, the right name is men's cave...

Nice! I need to get my man cave up and running again, miss what I had. All my stuff is packed away in storage at the moment until I get either a place of my own or move somewhere bigger. It all used to be at my nan's shed, somewhat organised chaos! 20150813_200200.jpg

I'd love to have some cabinets with my Walkman's out, my games consoles all hooked up, and a wall of boomboxes!

But I love what you've done, looks really clean and organised!

I think the key is not to have too much if you can stop yourself lol ! iv kinda kept too having a set amount of Boomboxes or it would get silly and out of controle & you can never use them all at one given time so i have a few that work perfectly and some that dont so they are just for show to look cool ! im starting to collect more of the gaming consols to as you can now buy all in one games for them or indeed mod them with sd cards from japan ! i use a big old 90s Toshiba crt for my consols manly but the small 80s hinari portable is used for my late 70s gaming stuff & sometimes betamax ! i would love to start a small walkman collection but prices are that of crack prices & i wont pay that for a tape player lol ! i must say from your photo you have an awesome collection of retro gear fairplay .

I have around 140ish consoles and computers in my collection! You can never have too much of a good thing in my book. My Walkman collection stands around 100ish I'd guess, md players and discmans around 70ish, radio control cars (mainly Tamiya and Kyosho and a few toy grade ones) around 150ish, boomboxes around 20ish. So yes, I'm a serial hoarder of things I like! My brother is the same, anything 80's toy related he's all over it, has around 700 (yes 700!) transformers, He-man, Star Wars, other obscure stuff, his room is a shrine to it all! Hence why all my stuff is in storage!

Anyway, I love the look of the black system mounted on the wall, what model is this one?
