Arcade Aesthetic

The Puckman Bookcase, by Mirko Ginepro Design, via Unplggd 

There is no doubt about the inspiration behind this delightfully dweeby shelving unit, our arcade friend, Pac-man. Wall mounted with room behind for cords to run to your favorite console, this functional art will be sure to be the talk of your next gaming get-together. Available in yellow, black, white, or can be custom colored. I'm thinking of a big red bow, to make it a Ms. Pac-man. PS. Note the iPod rug. Too cool.

Nerd Decor: Tetris

Tetrad Mega Shelving by Brave Space Designs, at Bobby Berk Home $7,000 for 10 piece set

These shelves can provide endless hours of entertainment, rearranging, and configuring. At that price tag, however, I think a DIY set would be a great project for your helpful handyman.
