Since I like to keep it as old school as possible, I wanted to set up something cool to play games on my nightstand next to my bed, just to get a quick Turbo session in before I fall asleep. So I came up with this:

I scored one of these kind of rare Sony 5 inch TV's. this is not an LCD, its a good old fashioned CRT in a small size with a built in AM/FM Radio. I saw it and thought it would go perfect with a white PC Engine for my nightstand, so I wanted to share it with you guys and see what you think. The picture on it is awesome although the camera did not capture that too well, I think you get the idea.
I gotta go by Roses and pick up one of those TV's if they still have them.
man that rocks!!! it looks like it is one piece & belongs together!!! how far back does the tv go? any side pictures you could share???
so wi-kid!!!
I did not take any side pictures, but I can tell you the TV goes back about 7 inches. Keep in mind it is a CRT so it has to have depth for the tube inside. But this looks way better than LCD's for the old school games.
That's awesome, but how will you ever get any sleep with such awesomeness demanding your attention mere inches from your pillow?
I just have to do the best I can I suppose. Im glad I finally received the TV because I had the vision of this setup for quite some time.
That setup is super-cool! =P~ I wish I had that Sony nightstand telly! :)

Don't worry Joe, The color is ok, it's just my camera didnt capture the screen right.
Yeah, your camera white-balanced to the screen and turned real life green!
I must say you did a nice job of fixing the photo, I forgot you were into camera stuff.
That is so cute. I have a little black tv, I should see if I can get a cheap coregrafx...
Radical! I always like your style, Golgo 8) .
I wouldn't like to play games on midget TVs. :lol: No offense.
Its not like I don't have the option of playing on a bigger TV. Its just a cool way to make use of my white PC engine. Don't hurt my TV's feelings by calling it a Midget, its a "Little TV' its just like how if you go to Wal-Mart and you see those Retards at the front door, your not supposed to call them Retards, your supposed to call them "Special".
So now you know.

Holy cow where do you live? I haven't seen a Rose's in about 20 yrs. And that is simply bad ass. Kinda like the PC Engine LT I saw a pic of but better :)
Awww! She's adorable! :o
