Had someone ask about the Shirt I wear all the time. Its the Collect What You Love shirt! I get 2-3dollars or so per sale of these so it certainly helps the channel out and helps me to test more ideas. You can find them here if you are interested! Also Mugs,Pillows,sweatshirts,stickers etc! www.teepublic.com/t-shirts/diskcart
@@fluttershygaming2428 I love that design unfortunately Nintendo took the shirt down. It may come back in the future but it would need several changes to avoid any issues from them.
I know right!? When I started digging into their site I was very happy to find the add on attachments. I like things to be modular and to have dividers between stuff. It can look really great. But it was also important to be able to use the systems so this worked out great!
Game room is coming together very nicely, next is a framemeister and you're truly all set!! But seriously thanks for mentioning some of the inserts... I had no idea those existed!
Oh baby a framemeister would be so great! Ive been binging my life in gaming videos lately and oof its always the best of the best! The inserts caught me off guard too. I thought maybe id find some cube inserts but these were awesome. It shakes it all up and makes me feel less committed to an certain setup.
I have one of these for my record collection. The small 2x2 ones are infact built solid. I can stand on it and it doesn't wobble at all. Great video. Awesome game room.
I built my own console stand a few years back for around $120 for all supplies. I can't remember exactly since I'm not at home, but I believe I have 12 consoles on it with my TV on top. Besides building one, this is a great option, I love Ikea! I use Ikea end tables and a display case in my game room, and we have a lot of other Ikea furniture and accessories in our house.
Absolutely! I always being happier with a shelf ive made myself, like the one behind me usually but never at a lower cost than buying something like a billy book case. Its that trade off of durability customization and cost. I like the fun of making something exactly perfect for stuff so if i go with pre made it better be customizable!
Thanks very much! Ikeas biggest strengths are its cost and how adaptable it is. Ikea has so many add ons and sunce ikea is popular many make cool extras for them too.
You definetly nailed it with the inserts. !!!! I really love your tv stand. I will make some positive changes in my room thanks to this idea. Awesome video!
George! Yeah its been pretty dang fun to be making videos as I set up parts of my own game room. I just try to keep thinking about the videos at the same time so i can get the details. I Really need yo get a short video made so i can ask for viewer pictures and ideas. I want to use yours! Eventually it will happen i know but man I want to get it going! Good to see you man!
Awesome work as always, dude! I knew about the drawer inserts (though I use the fabric ones) but never noticed all the shelving option ones! Weirdly enough I'm about to buy a white kallax also and I'm almost certainly going to use some of these ideas to give me some more storage in what is largely an empty room right now!
Thanks so much for making this video, I went to Ikea to get two of the first ones you showed, they were out of stock of the slide ins. Its amazing how great they look. I hope I can get a slide in soon
@@DesignedDNA lol man I have no idea! Yeah ypu mortal kombat signs are sick. Im not the biggest mortal kombat guy but I like the contrast you use in your wood designs. It pops! I think people also forget how good wood looks with white shelving or modern furniture. Not sure what to call it even. Maybe classy or has character or both. Either way Its nice to have those points of interest and really art around.
For this one I used a Led strip I found at walmart for 5 dollars. Its usb powered so had to plug it into a wall adaptor. They are adjustable to whatever color you want as well. I want to try other brands for a longer strip and better adhesive. I ended up adding more adhesive tape to this one since the other failed! Needless to say at some point ill have a dedicated lighting ideas video! Thanks for coming by!
@@thelastdragon5551 lol yes! I really want to do one now. Im dipping my toes into that lately with a couple videos. When I get firmly situated enough with the tv side of ths room I am on it!
Great video, thanks. I'm reorganising my room and wanted to try a few of these Kallax shelves out. I'm glad you talked about the inserts as I was unfamiliar with them. They will mostly be storing retro consoles and maybe some games. I like the idea of the USB LED strips to light them up, looks very cool. Subbed.
Thankyou! One warning about the inserts ikea has stopped making some of them at this point. To see everything for the kallax just check their site with that term. But there are also plenty of otber places and people who make other inserts for kallax too thats worth a search as well! I appreciate it have a great one
I use the 5 wide, 2 tall Kallax for my TV stand and to hold all of my consoles. It came with two of these older Expedit shelf divider inserts. I took those apart and made four half shelf dividers so I could fit more consoles. I need more half shelf dividers like this. The glass ones you showed would work well.
Its so cool to be able to customize these like that. I need to look into the expedit add ons too. The modular abilities of these cube style shelves is awesome. I think too often people just plop a console into the shelf by itself and it can be so much more with a little thought.Thanks Dege!
Oh man, those inserts!!! I love that! With the cube shelving we have, I'm often thinking about all of that wasted, open space above the consoles and would love some of these--I wonder if the inserts would fit what we already have...hmmm... Very well done!!
After looking into the cube style shelves like this theres so much you can do with them! I need to try out these H inserts people say work great to divide the space!
@@DiskCart I really enjoy how sharp these look with consoles in them, but it stinks when the longer systems won't work. As you saw, we found a solution but it's already full so... It may have been temporary.
Yeah the one that sticks out a bit is somehow my favorite!? I really expected to not like it but its almost kinda tiered and uses the space well. Thanks MD!
Awesome buddy thank you so much I just moved my game room and needed an idea for what to have I really love your set up and have subscribed to your channel I just got monetised so at the beginning of my journey really glad I found your channel 😊
I pieced together 6 of those wooden crates they sell at Walmart, Home Depot. You can fit 2 consoles per crate. Plus, it’s easy to make inserts for the standing upright crates. My set up holds 10 retro console and on the bottom holds all my strategy guides.
Improve those Kallax with some 1/8" tempered hardboard (cut by the home improvement warehouse for you), painted white, and tacked onto the back of your shelf with some #18 3/4" wire nails. Grab a 1 1/4" hole saw attachment for your drill or bitdriver and make a discreet hole in each cube where you need to pass an A/V and power cord. This will - 1. Hide your tangled mess of cords without having to do time consuming, crazy routing tricks. 2. Prevent dust coming in from the back of your shelf (you can silicone seal the edge around the backing board for an airtight backing). 3. LED lighting won't diffuse out of the back of your shelf, and will look MUCH better and be more efficient. 4. You now have a huge, unseen surface to mount those switchers, upscalers, line-doublers, etc. if you want to get really crazy.
This is not a bad idea. I actually use one for my nintendo power mag collection. As far as Toploaded Gaming goes (see what I did there? lol) I pieced together a gondola riser and I can customize where my shelves sit. This also allowed me to find actual nintendo marketing to decorate the shelf with, such as the mario peg paper from toys r us, as well as their marketing strips. I love it! I intend on finding a Top bracket mounting nintendo logo eventually. As always man great video.
lol yes toploaded gaming is some of the best gaming! (see what I did there?)Gondola riseR? this is very interesting. I am still getting this side of the room situated and this may work great! Appreciate your time man!
I have some cube style shelves and they are so good. They are light weight and have so many options. I can put the systems in the front and the Blu Rays/DVDs in the back.
I need to take a closer looj at your setup! So far ive seen so many benefits of these. Customization is number one and these are a great canvas for that
I need to customize my TV stand with a whole bunches of systems connecting to one TV. I couldn't find any. I wanted a separate division for each consoles and a glass door cover to protect against dust and hair but with an opening in the back for wiring. Plus it got to have breathing room so the consoles wont get overheated. Presently, I used my sister's old stereo cabinet with a glass door. I threw out all the old stereo, tape player, receiver and record player in the trash. Kinda regret throwing the record player now. My sister ask me if I wanted the cabinet or it will end up in the trash. That was almost 20 years ago. I'm glad I got it. It can hold up to 8-10 consoles at one time. On one side to open up the door, it use to hold up video tapes. I thought I got rid of them but there were some video tapes. There was Braveheart, Forrest Gump, and some manga anime copies from the 90s. Also, hmh. Xxx movies. I could use the side for controllers and wires. Now I think about it. That's a good option for the side. It's a good stereo cabinet but ages have come and it has aged. Squeaking glass door. Unhinged screw. Wood color stain and chipped. It's falling apart but holding steadily. They don't make this kind of cabinet now. A newer version cost about $150-$250.
It is harder and harder to replace some of those good cabinets since people seem to use them less. Less dvds and cds because of streaming is really making it hard. The one thing I wish this shelf had was glass doors and I bet someone is making them. Thats actually a good idea to look for thankyou! And thanks for coming by!
@@DiskCart I think I seen a game room tour that the person have a cubicle with glass door. The room tour was a British guy. For me, I always see a cubicle TV stand in almost every game room tour. The only problem I see from it is that it has no protection against dust and hair. I hope you find the glass door.
I always keep coming back to your videos! Do you ever feel like white shelves make it harder to hide cables? I feel like the black shelves probably do a better job with that, but we recently moved into our new house- the last thing I really want is more black furniture. Been living with black IKEA apartment furniture for over a decade and I’ve just been wanting lighter stuff everywhere.
Kallax is a great way to go. this shelf was 40$ so less than the cost of a game and since i can customize it i can fit many game systems into it alone. With one more of these i should be set to have my own setup good for a while.
Great video! This was helpful, as I didn't know Ikea had most of these inserts other than the baskets and such for these. I'm about to do some rearranging, and I may pick some of these up.
Most of them should still be available. But the grey shelf divider that slides over the shelf may have been discontinued. I keep hoping they add it back! That is also in the u.s. so its possible european countries still have it. They have even more cool inserts as it is!
@@DiskCart it turns out ikea discontinued the one insert I wanted. The grey offset shelf. I was so bummed when I couldn't find it on their US site anymore
Its a combination. I have a silent aircleaner constantly running which delays cleanings quite a bit. But generally I use an opolor air duster to blow dust off of items vacuum the space and wipe any surfaces like acrylic that are more prone to tiny bits of dust being visual. But it can beyond this , keeping the more precious items in clear cases , never wearing shoes in the room and keeping the door shut. I clean maybe every 2 months and that takes maybe 15 minutes total. Whenever I go into my space I have the electric air duster to grab and just lightly keep surfaces free of dust. Not difficult at all.
They also have a great insert for the kallax that looks like a tie fighter when it's out, it's a H shape and it fits in and make the shelf to be able to put 2 consoles in, so I have 2 consoles in each gap, and again hides wires.
Oh this is very interesting! I was unable to come accross this one let me know if you see it for sale out there! Id be interested to add that to the description for people to find! That sounds very efficient. Filling those gaps makes a huge difference in making it look good and also function well! Thank you!
Yeah I got a few of them for mine, I went to IKEA 2 weeks ago and got the 8 cube one, can fit all my consoles in it. It was the kallax insert with 1 shelf, part number 204.237.20. This was in ikea Ireland so not sure if they'd have them in the states, but would really recommend them.
No prob, hope you do get it and when you have it on your next video I know I helped lol but we have the other stuff you mentioned so no reason why not that part as well, there was none in the store I had to ask one of the girls who worked there and she got me the location, I seen it on the website otherwise I'd not have even known about it
I went out and bought a 2x2 Kallax cube with 2 dividers. Works great. I wish the still sold the hanging dividers though, I can't find them. And the PS3 is too FAT to fit in a Kallax cube that has a divider in it, so the area above my PS3 is wasted.
Hello, do you happen to have the link/url for the insert in 3:46? I loved your idea with it, I actually have a Kallax in my card and I didn't know if I would actually love it but that insert how you used it convinced me 100%, you sir is a truw genius 🔥😎
@@DiskCart Just tell us the name please, IKEA's biggest advantage is that they name everything and give everything a standardized article number that's valid internationally, so everyone give it a good shot on classified ads, eBay and other aftermarket platforms. :D I don't mind getting them used if that means I can get them rather than not at all. :)
Is there a shelf you would recommend that I can place a larger CRT on top with consoles below? I am finally starting my retro collection display and plan on having 1 taller shelf with the CRT with SD consoles & the another shorter/wider shelf with my LCD & HD consoles.
Its an Ikea add on for the kallax shelf. Should pop up if you search kallax on ikeas site. Their site can be pretty bad sometimes but they should be in stock.
Have you talked about the different ways of hooking up consoles? If not I'd like to see a video on that. I think everyone knows the best cables to use by now but the best way to route them and have it look nice is a whole different ball game.
Cable management is my current battle! This is something that since I am personally tackling it, You bet i'll make a video on it. Im messing with different clips/hiding techniques to find the best ways to hide or just manage them. In the end Its more like making them the best they can be vs making them completely disappear it seems. Thank you for that!
This is an awesome video! I have a Target brand organizer so I'd have to see if it would work with its dimensions. I wonder if there would be a way to rig something like a sliding drawer mechanism to slide out the consoles to swap games and cords easier? With this not being solid wood it may not be a good idea to drill into it too much. But perhaps there could be other ways to install a sliding mechanism. I couldn't find an item already made that would work. Keep up the great work!
Nice overview! I really like the grey slide in box. It's a clever design even though functionally all it does is add a dividing shelf to each compartment. What are the interior dimensions of each compartment? These are typically around a foot cubed, is this IKEA unit any larger? Twelve inches fits most consoles well, but there are some outliers that can't quite fit that space.
Thats a very good point. I even remember a while ago hearing someone talk about turning their consoles sideways in a cube style shelf. Here I'll check the link with measurements but id bet its 12.
Loved my first time At ikea!! Awesome video by the way!! Did you have to customize the backboard? Or did it come with the kallax stand? mine didn’t come with the backboard for some reason 😩 now i have to go to Home Depot & make a backboard myself
Thats awesome! Man that place is great with so many ideas ! The kallax dont have backing to them so if you need one you may need to do that homedepot run. I dont use one because I have them against the wall and it gives the leds i have a nice place to bounce from. I also recently made a video on cord management with these kallax stands that makes it easier to hide those nasty cords away! Man ikea is great!
So i checked it out and it looks like its around 1 inch too small inside of the kallax. Youd need to place in on top or sideways inside to fit. The kallax is 13x 13 inches. As for the Leds I use MINGER LED Strip Lights Kit from amazon. i usually go for the 16- 32 foot size. When it comes to leds a lot of them are very similar I just look for the ones with a clear coating over the leds and a short distance between leds. That will make for better diffusion of the led light and a more even light. If you get leds that end up too far apart it shows up like dots on the wall which can be a bit messy. sorry took so long to respond!
Heres a closer look at it as well. I love this stand. Ultra sturdy and holds most controlllers! Link to it is in the descrpition of this video ruclips.net/video/3aRX-dXxogs/видео.html
Title of the video is 'Best TV Stand...', came here for that, all you talked about was the shelving unit off to the side. Do you have another video where you talk about the actual TV stand?
Kallax are tv stands and can be used as shelves. Hope that clears things up. I have no video on the very basic stand that doesnt work well for consoles.
But my wife and kids will live on my friend. Its ok to have hobbies. Judging a person does not define who they are. It defines who you are. - Earl Nightingale . Hope you have a fantastic week and have some joy in whatever you do.

Why does everyone just HAVE access to an Ikea...?
All RUclipsrs have a built in ikea underneath their kitchen sink that no one knows about
It’s not far away from here
appreciate the video. i'm setting up my game room soon so I needed to figure the insert for the kallax shelves...lol
Absolutely! I try to keep tracking down fresh ideas that people may not think of. Its been a blast!
@@DiskCart it turns out ikea discontinued the one insert I wanted. The grey offset shelf. I was so bummed when I couldn't find it on their US site anymore
Fascinating! I love all the inserts
Modular customization is the best! especially for game systems!
nice collection..how do u keep the dust off?
Its a combination. I have a silent aircleaner constantly running which delays cleanings quite a bit. But generally I use an opolor air duster to blow dust off of items vacuum the space and wipe any surfaces like acrylic that are more prone to tiny bits of dust being visual. But it can beyond this , keeping the more precious items in clear cases , never wearing shoes in the room and keeping the door shut. I clean maybe every 2 months and that takes maybe 15 minutes total. Whenever I go into my space I have the electric air duster to grab and just lightly keep surfaces free of dust. Not difficult at all.
This is just what I've been looking for.
They also have a great insert for the kallax that looks like a tie fighter when it's out, it's a H shape and it fits in and make the shelf to be able to put 2 consoles in, so I have 2 consoles in each gap, and again hides wires.
Oh this is very interesting! I was unable to come accross this one let me know if you see it for sale out there! Id be interested to add that to the description for people to find! That sounds very efficient. Filling those gaps makes a huge difference in making it look good and also function well! Thank you!
Yeah I got a few of them for mine, I went to IKEA 2 weeks ago and got the 8 cube one, can fit all my consoles in it. It was the kallax insert with 1 shelf, part number 204.237.20. This was in ikea Ireland so not sure if they'd have them in the states, but would really recommend them.
@@Klynch111 thank you thats perfect! I probably have to get one to try out now lol! Sounds good to me and thank you for taking the time to do that!
No prob, hope you do get it and when you have it on your next video I know I helped lol but we have the other stuff you mentioned so no reason why not that part as well, there was none in the store I had to ask one of the girls who worked there and she got me the location, I seen it on the website otherwise I'd not have even known about it
I've been waiting for IKEA to release these forever! Currently not sold in US Ikea stores in 2020. They're so perfect too!
Damn, does IKEA no longer make the grey inserts/dividers? Can’t find them anywhere
just what i needed
Love that shirt!
Love the Super Mario throwing up the peace sign. Where did you purchase it?
I went out and bought a 2x2 Kallax cube with 2 dividers. Works great. I wish the still sold the hanging dividers though, I can't find them. And the PS3 is too FAT to fit in a Kallax cube that has a divider in it, so the area above my PS3 is wasted.
I want to do this for my modern day consoles. How well would a VCR Xbox one or launch PS3 fit?
These are 13 - 1/8" wide inside the vcr maybe a tight fit and the xbone should fit but with lust a hair of room left. Ps3 will be fine indeed
Hi, I hope all is well. Where did you buy your TV stand ?
What is the gray divider that sticks out a bit called? I looked for it on the website but can’t find it.
I have a question I need a bookshelf for my console what kind should I get it’s a lot of console
Can that shelf work for next gen consoles too? (Xbox One, PS4,etc)
Hello, do you happen to have the link/url for the insert in 3:46? I loved your idea with it, I actually have a Kallax in my card and I didn't know if I would actually love it but that insert how you used it convinced me 100%, you sir is a truw genius 🔥😎
Unfortunatley they appear to have discontinued it for now but you can bet ill make another video when they come back!
@@DiskCart Just tell us the name please, IKEA's biggest advantage is that they name everything and give everything a standardized article number that's valid internationally, so everyone give it a good shot on classified ads, eBay and other aftermarket platforms. :D
I don't mind getting them used if that means I can get them rather than not at all. :)
Im from Canada and I cant seem to find the first gray insert on Ikea Canada. Is this American only?
Is there a shelf you would recommend that I can place a larger CRT on top with consoles below? I am finally starting my retro collection display and plan on having 1 taller shelf with the CRT with SD consoles & the another shorter/wider shelf with my LCD & HD consoles.
Hi bro, I wanted to know if you could tell me, where you bought the bottle rack?
Its an Ikea add on for the kallax shelf. Should pop up if you search kallax on ikeas site. Their site can be pretty bad sometimes but they should be in stock.
Have you talked about the different ways of hooking up consoles? If not I'd like to see a video on that. I think everyone knows the best cables to use by now but the best way to route them and have it look nice is a whole different ball game.
Cable management is my current battle! This is something that since I am personally tackling it, You bet i'll make a video on it. Im messing with different clips/hiding techniques to find the best ways to hide or just manage them. In the end Its more like making them the best they can be vs making them completely disappear it seems. Thank you for that!
Seems like they don’t sell those shelf inserts anymore
Off topic but where can I get your shirt? :)
This is an awesome video! I have a Target brand organizer so I'd have to see if it would work with its dimensions. I wonder if there would be a way to rig something like a sliding drawer mechanism to slide out the consoles to swap games and cords easier? With this not being solid wood it may not be a good idea to drill into it too much. But perhaps there could be other ways to install a sliding mechanism. I couldn't find an item already made that would work. Keep up the great work!
I can’t find the grey inserts 🥺
They sadly discontinued them.. They did recently start stocking divider inserts too several types. My Ikea is still yet to get those in stock.
0:33 what tv stand is that?
Nice overview! I really like the grey slide in box. It's a clever design even though functionally all it does is add a dividing shelf to each compartment.
What are the interior dimensions of each compartment? These are typically around a foot cubed, is this IKEA unit any larger? Twelve inches fits most consoles well, but there are some outliers that can't quite fit that space.
The biggest console I could fit in mine was my original XBox, and theres almost no wiggle room.
Thats a very good point. I even remember a while ago hearing someone talk about turning their consoles sideways in a cube style shelf. Here I'll check the link with measurements but id bet its 12.
They are 13" x 13" inside with a depth of 15 3/8" . Definitely these will not fit every console ever made. But should fit the vast majority.
Loved my first time At ikea!! Awesome video by the way!! Did you have to customize the backboard? Or did it come with the kallax stand? mine didn’t come with the backboard for some reason 😩 now i have to go to Home Depot & make a backboard myself
Thats awesome! Man that place is great with so many ideas ! The kallax dont have backing to them so if you need one you may need to do that homedepot run. I dont use one because I have them against the wall and it gives the leds i have a nice place to bounce from. I also recently made a video on cord management with these kallax stands that makes it easier to hide those nasty cords away! Man ikea is great!
Disk Cart yea bro!! I’m going tomorrow to get that backboard. Hopefully it’s easy to install. Your kallax looks epic by the way!!
Lol awesome thanks let me know how yours turns out.
Disk Cart will do!!
Gosh dang it, now I have to go back to IKEA
Get me some meatballs please!
What’s the brand of your tv stand?
hi would this fit a sega master system 1 and could i gethem lights from amazon uk
So i checked it out and it looks like its around 1 inch too small inside of the kallax. Youd need to place in on top or sideways inside to fit. The kallax is 13x 13 inches. As for the Leds I use MINGER LED Strip Lights Kit from amazon. i usually go for the 16- 32 foot size. When it comes to leds a lot of them are very similar I just look for the ones with a clear coating over the leds and a short distance between leds. That will make for better diffusion of the led light and a more even light. If you get leds that end up too far apart it shows up like dots on the wall which can be a bit messy. sorry took so long to respond!
Hey, can you tell me witch model/maker of that "controller tower" that shows in the video? The one with 3 decks.
Heres a closer look at it as well. I love this stand. Ultra sturdy and holds most controlllers! Link to it is in the descrpition of this video ruclips.net/video/3aRX-dXxogs/видео.html
whats your tv rack?
whats the game at 0:
56?
Title of the video is 'Best TV Stand...', came here for that, all you talked about was the shelving unit off to the side. Do you have another video where you talk about the actual TV stand?
Kallax are tv stands and can be used as shelves. Hope that clears things up. I have no video on the very basic stand that doesnt work well for consoles.
What is the stand your tv is on?
Informative
Thank you very much Im doing what I can with what I have! Appreciate your time! Thanks!
I have the Same one
Ikea gets on my nerves. They have a store 2hrs away but won't ship anything mid to lg size
i cannot find any of those inserts in hong kong... ikea suck
unfortunately they were discontinued everywhere!
Hello
I never understand shelf collectors
Some want to see the games and collectables and some put them in a box. Both viable options for having tons of game stuffs.
