We know that an interesting design aesthetic is the last thing a gamer is going to care about but there is a way to dress up your walls and still maintain your geek cred: Blik wall decals let you spruce up your plain walls with video game themed imagery. We especially like the Space Invaders set but the New Super Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong ones are pretty sweet too.

You can also set up the rig to output audio from your Xbox 360 or PS3, which lets you effortlessly switch from your music to your games. GamePro Editor Travis Moses rocks this very setup in his apartment and swears by it so if you're looking to upgrade your audio from your television's tinny speakers, this is one setup you should consider.
