what NON-arcade game crap are you STILL trying to get out of the game room?

I started moving my old portable air compressor out of the garcade about 3 weeks ago. First I had to dig it out from under a bunch of game parts, and the plan is to get it COMPLETELY OUT OF THE GARCADE THIS WEEKEND and into my shed.

The garcade was originally a single car garage that housed my Chevelle and all the tools I used to restore the car. Now that it's a garcade, I don't really need an air compressor out there (unless of course you guys have some awesome custom ideas)

What residual crap is in YOUR game room that you just can't seem to get yourself to move it out yet?
 
I have 3 desks (2 of which really aren't needed), a crt monitor, computer chair (large highback model), and a desk chair.

My slot machine sits on a metal hobby desk (i'd love to get rid of this and get a standard slot stand/fish tank stand instead), 1 wooden desk i use as my repair bench (i'd like to keep it or replace it with a larger one), and the other desk is a crappy sauder brand computer desk (which will probably be gone rather soon).

I mainly used this room for storing spare computers and repairing them but i've finally gotten rid of most of those and do most of my repairs onsite now.
 
A 1984 Cadillac Hearse. It just takes up too much space.

My arcade is in a 40' shipping container. The kind you see loaded on cargo ships and freight trains. My father put a door in the side to access the 20' of space behind the car. The car can enter and exit through the double doors at the end.

Unfortunately it doesn't run right now and I hate to leave it out in the elements, so it's staying in the container until I can find another place to put it.

A hearse, really? I was just talking to my wife about getting rid of my Suburban and replacing it with a hearse, or possibly an ambulance. When I was a senior in high school I drove a 1962 ambulance that looked like Ecto 1. I really wish I would have kept that car, but the ladies just didn't care for it as much as I did...

My Suburban is my repair vehicle. It has been all over Washington State and has served me well in my repair endeavors. I doubt I will be getting rid of it anytime soon though.


Back to the original topic... I am currently moving my mother-in-law into my gameroom and my games into storage/on route. So I guess I have a ton of stuff in the way.:(
 
One wall of my garage is still dedicated to tools and workspace. I really wish I had space for a separate workshop, but I don't see it happening. If I could use that wall for games, I could fit another dozen games or so.

I also have 2 bikes that are hung above the games. Aside from that, the garage is all games.
 
I've got a 32" hi-def trinitron crt sitting on the floor. Haven't had the courage to try to lug it up the stairs. Weighs over 200 lbs, and the weight is lopsided as hell.
