Post pics of your collection.

[The Mothman]

If you have your collections on display anywhere in your house, whether it be DVD, VHS, Vinyl, Toys, Video games, whatever, I wanna see 'em. I'm sure some of you have absurdly big collections. I finally got all the DVDs on display in my house.

heres a few pics of my nerd shrine.


Heres what I have set up now. Big shelf is strictly B movies and Horror. Tower to the left is action movies and westerns. Thats an Atari 2600 from 81 on top of the shelf next to my cat Nugget.

Im sure you guys have collections to put this one to shame, lets see em!

[ShankS]

Great collection and the posters with autographs look good too :) I'm in the process of a house move but when I've unpacked and sorted everything out I'll put up some photos.

Hi, Nugget!

I'm not organized enough to be a collector. I'm surprised Urge hasn't jumped in. ::wink::

if you walked into a Blockbuster video store [ remember video stores?]....then that would be like half of Urge's collection

[urgeok2]

its a little embarrassing actually…

i've put all digital media into a spreadsheet .. this includes DVD, HD-DVD, Blu-Ray and Laserdisc.

I have 8303 entries. box sets (one or more movies/TV sets) only count as one line item - so there are probably well over 11,000 titles.

of those - 986 are horror. (well over 1000 - taking box sets/collections into account)

i've never counted the VHS or Beta - there are several 1000's of those.

As far as memorabilia and posters go - god knows.

I'll put up photos some day - but it'll just make me look crazy. (crazier)

really curious to see at least a fraction of it!

Thanks Shanks, good to see you around, would def like to see that!

Somewhere on here is a picture of your media room. You posted it not long after it was finished.

[urgeok2]

ok - here goes.

this is the first shelf you see when you go to the basement.

It's 2 deep - and it's all TV box sets

[urgeok2]

this is the pile of recent additions in the downstairs office i haven't put away yet

there's another stack in the upstairs library.
actually there's another stack in the bedroom (recently watched)

[urgeok2]

across from the TV box sets is this - mostly beta movies ..

on the bottom is the start of the horror DVDs (italian and asian)

on the right hand side is a little poster of Mars Needs Women - signed

[urgeok2]

the bulk of the VHS .. like the beta shelf - these are 3 deep

[urgeok2]

this is where i started putting blu-rays when i didn't think i'd be buying many.

Also Pink Floyd/Led Zep/Genesis CDs (i like to keep them handy)

[urgeok2]

a lot of vinyl, with VHS on top and the second part of the horror DVDs on the bottom

[urgeok2]

the other half of that vinyl shelf

[urgeok2]

this is a 3 sided alcove that was hard to shoot - there's a treadmill and a big TV (for the treadmill) in front

it's mostly vinyl, but to the right and left (and over top) is VHS.
Big box VHS to the right

this is the top third - it goes all the way to the floor

[urgeok2]

these are some of the weird sized box sets that don't fit anywhere - some piled on the speaker - the others go right to the floor

[urgeok2]

the bulk of the DVDs - bottom rows are laserdiscs

these are 2 deep … to the bottom right are the 10 or so big piles of DVDs that can't fit anywhere.

[urgeok2]

this thing is huge - and it's 2 feet deep..

its crammed with electronics, CDs, video games, and DVDs

no one watches movies here - it's where my kid does his gaming ..

[urgeok2]

just a close up to show the top shelf - it's packed full of music and DVD box sets ..


thats it for the movies/music

the posters and memorabilia are in the office - maybe i'll show that madness later

[hammerfan]

So, I'm guessing you outgrew the room you had upstairs?

[urgeok2]

the room upstairs is a book library …

nothing but books ..
But i outgrew it too and now books are starting to get piled up

they're all movie/tv things .. a lot of disney ..
i have another room full of them

[Elvis_Christ]

Love all the vinyl. Very nice looking turntable too.

Downsized my movie collection pretty ruthlessly trying to slowly make a concise one. Unfortunately lost a bunch of VHS to mold so that set the ball rolling for a mass cull.

[urgeok2]

it's an old Thorens i found at a cash converters years ago ..

very happy with it

I'd love to pick up some vintage stuff. I've just got a cheap Gemini at the moment that does the trick.

Must be some great stuff on those beta tapes.

[MichaelMyers]

urgeok --- any photos of the book library on hand? Very impressive collection!

[Sculpt]

Cool, a fellow progressive and classic rock fan. I got big into Kansas and Beatles, but of course lots of Floyd, Zep and Stones. What's your favorite group/artists?

I'm old so I grew up with this stuff - it's my comfort music

My all time favourite is genesis but I also love Strawbs. 10cc Roxy music. Van dee graaf generator and marillion

Other than that - the soft boys. Tangerine dream
The Beatles belle and Sebastian Hooverphonic. And sparks
And about a thousand others :)

[urgeok2]

I'll take some today

[urgeok2]

here's the library ..

[urgeok2]

Where i do my writing and photo editing .


I used to do it in the basement office but it's overrun by toys and photography gear.

When i straighten that up i'll get shots of that too - it's where al the posters and other movie junk are

[MichaelMyers]

Very nice! Thanks for the tour urgeok!

[urgeok2]

Very nice! Thanks for the tour urgeok!


no prob - i take it for granted because i see it every day - it's nice to show it to folks that actually appreciate it - instead of the average person who can't understand the love of music, movies, and books to this degree.

there's a lot of $$$ tied up in there - but i've been collecting since the 80's and i never smoked or drank, and until the last 4 - 5 years - traveled much..

[realdealblues]

Very cool man, thanks for sharing.

I keep hoping one day I'll be able to afford to move back into a house just so I can have all my stuff in one place again. I've got about 2,000 books. Some are on shelves, some are in boxes, but most are in storage.

I had thousands of DVD's and VHS but I've pretty much ran out of space and sold them all off now. The only ones I still have are TV shows. I ended up just converting everything to high quality AVI files that are stored on Hard Drives which I can then connect to my PS3 and watch. Stuff that I really love and watch frequently though I've either bought on Blu-Ray or am waiting for a Blu-Ray release. I've got about 600 Blu Rays now. I've also been putting a lot of them in DiscSox to save space.

All my LP's are in storage. I still have about 5,000 CD's in my apartment though, but I've been putting them in JewelSleeves to save space. I like the JewelSleeves better than the DiscSox when it comes to CD's.

It kind of sucks not being able to really "show off" my collection anymore, but at least with some of these space saving devices I can keep less things in storage.

[urgeok2]

I wish my cds were more accessible - I'd love to have a room just for music.
Unfortunately they are crammed into those deep shelves ..
there's about 3400 of them - I had to put them on a database as well.

My next project is to put the vinyl into a database

I need to do the same. There's a shelf I need to clean and bag up properly too.
Think I'm hitting round the 2000 mark now... I'll be out of room in about 6 months I think. Dying to move into somewhere new and set a up music room!

its funny .. i'll dump VHS tapes - and laserdiscs if I upgrade to DVD or Blu-Ray (and the release is EXACTLY the same)

but I wont get rid of a single vinyl album - if I have it on CD or not :)

Damn, I'm an amateur compared to you guys! ::big grin::

Nothing beats the sound. Digital is great for convenience but vinyl is a more satisfying experience for when you've got the time to kick back at listen to something at home. I love the buzz of hunting it down too.

[newb]

here's the library ..

you play those guitars?

[urgeok2]

you play those guitars?

those are my kid's :)

well, the one cheap electric came with Rocksmith - so it's mine

he was using that but got a Fender Squier for Christmas

plus the acoustics ..


he's getting pretty good!

Just once watch, no question about it..It needed to grace my collection.

Awesome. ::cool::

[tfantasy]

I just wanted to thank you guys for sharing your amazing collections!!

Unfortunately, I sold out pretty much my entire book collection last year and downsized my movie collection too. It was a matter that I move around a lot since I don't own a home and storing all of it is a pain.

I don't buy books at all anymore, I just go to the library so I can simply return them when I'm done reading them.

I still buy dvds but I am very picky with what I pick out. When I first started collecting them, I was just grabbing whatever cheap ones I could find. It just didn't make sense to me to keep movies that I weren't watching. I warned my husband that movies will always be a collecting hobby to me. Funny, he even digs through the $5 bin with me at Walmart now ::big grin::

[horcrux2007]

This is by far my favorite DVD case.
