You may want to get some reflective tape or something to outline the steps down into the room. From the photos, they blend in pretty well with the carpet bend up the wall. I can totally see myself triping over them when the lights are down. Looks good dude!

hmmm.... good idea with the reflective tape dean. maybe i can make it more of a blue glowing tron theme?? hmmm... you are right, the step def blends in and someone could get hurt.

Hey Chris!

Just found your thread... your Garagecade is coming together great! I too like the red walls and grey carpet. Little guy looks like he's enjoying it too! You might consider a vented door over the water heater. We have ours in our house in a slightly bigger enclosure. The door has two vents in it to let air in / out but it hides the heater. Just thinkin...

Keep up with the updates, oh and wake Dave up.

Lookin great Chris! I can see were your Tron pin is going did you find a spot to display your skateboard decks?

 

[ENDOFLINE]

hehe.... heh steve, good eye there! yes, i am gonna try to put the tron pin right there in the corner. gonna hang the skate decks on the wall to the right of the tron poster. gonna hang some framed art to the left of the tron poster. then some arcade flyers above the garage door area. still might be shifting things around to find the best "layout" for the space. having lots of fun with it so far!

im also trying to find a wall mount that will fit my 32' tv for some good ol' 80's music videos chris

If you decide you don't have room for your bitchen vintage sound-sensitive colored strobe light thingy, let me know and I'm all over that!

 

[ComputerSpace]

Chris, if you can find a door to fit the opening, any door will do. Then you cut at least 1 but I'd cut 2 opening in the door and install vent grills. One at top and one at bottom. Paint to match your wall and you'll never know it's there. Just a suggestion...

Looking good!

Very cool, Chris!

The next time the family and I are in SoCal, I'm stopping by to see the new digs.

Can't wait to see more pics.

ok, finally got some things done the last couple of weeks!

wall art (check)
games moved into the garage (check)
power for all the games (not done yet, still ghetto style with some extension chords and all, hehe...)

things are coming along. just so glad everything arrived and made it to the new place in one piece! moving the edot scared the hell outta me as well as a few of the other games. still need to get some lighting hung, still need to get the tv wall mounted, still gotta few games with issues, still need to get a cover for the water heater.

all in all, im very happy with how its turning out. just nice to finally be playing some of my games again. thank god the move is finally over~! i bring to you the new and improved ATOMICADE.

updated pics as of this morning (first pic looking into the garage from the kitchen)-
