Spyder Gaming Hub is the Ultimate Geek’s Entertainment Center
January 25th, 2011
Geek’s begat geeks, so between my son and I, we have all three of the major game consoles and more games that a bookshelf can hold. Things get really messy sometimes with all the controllers and consoles fighting for space in the game room.
If you need a cool and well-organized place for your game systems, accessories, and TV in your own game room, that is compact and looks cool – Atlantic has a cool entertainment center for you. The Spyder has a steel frame structure with storage for games and accessories that will hold a flat panel TV up to 40-inches that weighs up to 90 pounds. The frame is powder-coated and won’t tarnish or chip. The component shelf will support three consoles and up to 60 pounds total weight. The TV is held up by a pair of VESA 400 x 400 mounting brackets. The shelf has an open design to help keep your gear from overheating.
It’s put together from 12 large parts and is easy to assemble according to the maker. The Spyder will land in March and will sell for just $129 (USD).

There is a flaw in this design: if you put the PS3 on top the Xbox360 without any space then it is highly probable that the XBox will die because of overheating.
Good point – you rally should have more ventilation between those consoles. It’s hard to tell from the picture, but maybe there’s a shelf there that the PS3 is sitting on. If it is and it’s adjustable, then it would probably be okay – or if you have just 2 consoles, I think you’re good.
If it is adjustable most people will not think to adjust it to have more space in between. And for me it does not look like there is any shelf.
I have a similar setup with four consoles and it is all made of glas with three shelfes. plenty of space and enough ventilation room.
The only thing I am missin is some sort of shelf wher you can put more than one webcam (PS3 webcam, XBox360 Webcam and PS2 Webcam.
