Displaying a collection

[NaughtyDogJames]

Opinions people. Should I spend my money on more stuff or displaying my current stuff?

It's up to you tbh. I keep meaning to buy more shelves to display my current stuff, but because I budget way in advance, I can't afford to buy more shelves right now, but am constantly adding to the collection (as I've budgeted for those items in advance). So I think I'll have to just put up with adding to my collection without better ways to display. Will sort that out at some point xx

I quite like the idea of hippiees shadow boxes.

I suppose we could just hang up our favorite 5 - 10 steelbooks?

If favorites change, we could easily swap them out.

I've decided spend money on display. I think theirs no point in a having a good collection if you can't see it. Although my collections not great if I don't start improving my display soon then I'll never get round to it.

Thats where the idea stopped,me not getting time to get some made up for the ones i have. I was thinking of doing them in lots,i.e all Assassins Creed steelbooks in one display. I do think this could work quite easily.

Where there is a problem,theres always a solution,one just has to think of it 100 steelbooks,easy as,you may not have many walls,but you have windows,doors & even ceiling space Imagine lying in bed looking up at 100 steelbooks on the ceiling,lol

Thank youOnly problem is i am sure all the steelbooks etc anyone has are all their favourites to begin with otherwise we wouldnt have them at all. Unless a steelbook is picked just so it can be said you have one But,swapping around could be easily done i am sure. Once a month have a change around & your display will always be awesome as well as different all the time

As for displaying everything else,i spent AU$150 on 3 cabinets. All are solid pine timber with cupboards underneath for a little storage of boxes etc,all have glass doors to see everything,have adjustable shelving & will last forever being made of real wood. Also because i am using them for something there werent intended for theres extra space to eventually put more shelves in here & there I really must put a final games room pic up for all to see sometime today me thinks

Yes Hippeedude!...we would love to see pics of your game room and or game display!

If you truly want to display, I would go with Ikea Glass display.. It cost $65.

I would opt for Expedit. It gives you many different options to display your collection.

Make a wall of steelbooks!

In my gaming/theatre room, I have a large dvd/cd shelf with 3 rows of adjustable shelves along one of the walls that is used to store and display my games/movies/steelbooks and smaller CE's. I also have 2 detolfs in 2 corners of the room which I use to display my favourite CE's (usually the bigger ones). I'm also planning to install some floating wall shelves to store some of the bigger stuff, boxes etc...

I'm tempted by a glass cabient and a few other things. I'll post pics once it's done.
