The way I play....post your racing rig.
Posted by mortal
This is the first one I built. Made from mdf, cannibalised old speakers, shaker under a padded fibreglass shell seat. Ferrari Logitech wheel, pedals on a board that slid into slots making the length adjustable. Cost to build? Not a lot, less than $100 Sold for $15
Second build. 25mm box steel frame with 3 ply and flooring sheet for the base and top. Dell low profile computer running XP under the seat, 24" screen. $1.00 amp from ebay for the twin speakers, bass output to sub amp for under-seat shaker. G25 wheel. Cost to build, about $1600, the frame was expensive as it was a one-off custom job, about $400. The rest was the timber and fittings, paint, comp including ram and graphics update, wheel, screen, wireless keyboard and mouse, amps, shaker, marine carpet, wiring, external plug etc.

Sorry, but that is no 107 inch. Compare it to the cupboard or the visible part of the window. I think you mean 107 centimeters, which is 42 inch.

hey there! It's just me & a keyboard at present with a 24'' dell but I do like the look of this rig from harvey norman,
retails at about $658

I simply play with my keyboard. Every GPx game, since 1996 !!!
Well I think this is my dream setup, an automated recliner lounger with racing pedals attached to leg support! ajustable of course!
G25 wheel + telescopic arm for keyboard & mouse on the side (movable) drink holder (go's without saying) 3D googles linked to high spec CPU.
All this x2 so you can race your mates.
found this pic on the net, anybody got enough money to do this?

This is my current set up :
That's not me on that picture. You should have known it : it's not my helmet
This with a G25 steering wheel, a 82 cm wide TV screen and my sofa.
And also a self-made rig, AMD 965 4X, 8Go RAM in a Silverstone box
(Guess why I took this one
)
Before that, this is what I had:
See the ridiculously small wheel ?
and no FFB

I don't like GP3 with steering wheel. Don't ask me why, I don't know either LOL
For GP4, rFactor, F1C and others I use my not-so-reliable Genius TwinWheel PC. I often have to plug it many times since the pedal sensors aren't in great shape. And it doesn't have FFB either, it just vibrates like a cellphone when I'm on a kerb. But it's enough for me at the moment :P
The rest of my setup is a SyncMaster Samsung 18'' monitor and Pentium DualCore processor with a nVidia GeForce 5600 GPU. While travelling I use my little Gateway LT netbook with Intel Atom.
Stats: 139 Starts / 7 Wins / 9 Poles / 5 Fastest laps
