Just added to the room this weekend a display case from IKEA UK at a great price of £40 plus installed a multi coloured lighting kit for £30. I just need to get some clear coloured cable ties to tidy the cables a bit.

Hope everyones having a great weekend...

@ Venner

Hi, I picked up a platinum version of first Assassins Creed this weekend for the PS3, whilst fighting off the Xmas shoppers. I haven’t cracked it open yet though due to being sucked into Uncharted 3, but I hope to take a look before the Star Wars: Old Republic MMO goes live.

As for my intro title, I’m afraid it was sponsored by Stella Artois Cidre. It kinda made sense to me at the time.

@ Scottcross

Thanks Scott. I had been searching for sometime for a cabinet that had shop or museum display looks about it rather than glass in a chunky wooden frame, and then I noticed a few others in the forums had these. The single box it came flat packed in felt every bit the 42kg they state on the IKEA site. There is some serious glass in these bad-boys.

The lighting looks good but i thought these cabinets from ikea already came with lighting installed

It comes with a hole in the wooden top section of the cabinet for a optional and extra purchase of a single light. If you choose not to add lighting then there is a cover cap that comes with it.

I picked the LED kit for stronger lighting to each shelf, and the controller that simple changes the coloured output. It does a rather nice Sith Red.

I was planning on getting LED's for a display of my collection myself, You've persuaded me now lol, I think it will look awesome in sith red as well

The only thing you are missing in that room is a toilet... Nice though.

Hi all,

Just an update of the things I picked-up over the 2011 holidays and in January this year.

It's been a busy month with work but I did manage to complete Dead Space (awesome survival horror, must get the sequel) and Uncharted 3.

I have a scary amount of things on pre-order thanks to this site.

Have fun, VGM-UK
