Well, still researching the simulator side of things and drawing stuff up, but atm this is my gaming rig in it's unfinished state until I decided which way to go.

 

 

 

 

 

No funny comments on the carpet please, I just havent got around to finishing decorating the box room yet, and frankly, the gaming rig was more important LOL.

 

It's got a 32" Acer LCD monitor for the visuals, and a 5.1 DTS receiver with a 6 channel direct feed from a USB soundblaster 5.1 for the lappy, optical feed for the PS. Eltax front left right and centre and sub with a couple of technics surround at the back of the seat. It has a PS3 in the cabinet as one machine to have some fun on, and the main brains is a Dell XPS gaming lappy for racing sims. Racing control wise it's got a Logitech G25 900 degree wheel with a six speed H pattern box with neumatic clutch, accel and brake pedals. Also for comfort it's got a new imported toora racing seat.

 

It also has a partrdge in a pear tree.

 

I've got to put a floor plan down when I actually decide on the design, box it all in, that will come when I've actually deccided how to get the seat moving.

WoW* with a wheel. u r teh 1337 baby!

 

Nice carpet :P

 

*world of warcraft for teh n00bs!

Awesome mate, good work!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hehe, I've got a USB keyboard and mouse for the geek games, it's actually VG tho, cause we all know that WoW is for nubs :nana2:

 

Playing MMO on a wheel would be fkin funny, but TBH I don't get a lot of time for them, put it on to test the rez and see how clear text was on high rez.

 

ATM I seem to just be using it for two games, GTR2 on the PC using the G25, - it's fkin ace, and Rainbow six Vegas on the PS3, quality FPS. Crank up the volume and with it going off around that seat it's like your in it lol.

Awesome mate, good work!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks mate, hoping it will be the doggies when it's actually finished.

 

Still needing some ideas on how to get the fkin chair moving. Going to replace the wooden struts with ally bars, they are just there temporarily. Also I was going to make a cabinet for the TV and front section, but that old stand fitted the bill perfectly with a few adjustments, so decided to use the stand and build that into it - it will all get covered at some point anyway.

 

My main concern really is getting the floor down and fitting the rest of the side section near the sub. I'm going to bolt the floor of it to the floor boards, so any strain or heavy stuff i need to bolt down for the seat mechanics should be secure and sturdy enough.

you beat me to the wow comment.......your ui is a mess for wow i couldnt play with such a spred out set up unless you have keybindings or macros set up for some of your everyday wow movements

 

doesnt look like anywhere in outlands though

Never heard of VG until I googled it just now. UI looks just like WoW. Not that I play WoW anymore...thank the lord. BF2142 gunship pilot now ^_^

Strap it to your wifes back whilst she's asleep. Then wake her up by prodding her with a pointy bamboo stick shouting "I shagged your mother!"

I was gonna get that steering wheel, but didnt really have enough space for it on my desk! Plus it was £150 or something!

 

I have GTR2 which is cool, also getting GT legends, older game but got loadsa cool old cars!

I was thinking about GT legends as well looks cool. I've d/l loads of mods for it, new cars, tracks etc. The wheel is similar to the DFP, I used to have one and it was awsome, a lot more compact than this for desk use etc. I remember moving from a Logitech GT s/wheel to the DFP and thinking how awesome it was, the move to this one is the same again.

 

If you've not got the room for a G25 check out the DFP, it's still good fun and half the price.

Tooley, VG UI is an unfriendly, uncustomisable peice of crap.

go look on curse gaming for bongo's ore ace hell even getting titan panel will help you a lot more..........

 

 

you know its odd but i find myself playing wow more than eve these days

 

ah well halo3 hopefully soon

Cool man I will check it out.

 

VG is actually not too bad, very good gfx etc. Just not a lot of content.

Woh! Thats a serious setup! Very impressive. I'd like to get a console when the new GT comes out. Never sure if its worth it for one game though! I'd rather get a nice computer to play FPS games.

Yeh I know what you mean, I bought the PS3 for one game Rainbox Six Vegas. It was out on the PC and TBH, would be better on the PC fx wise, but I knew a load of ppl that were playing it on the PS3 and there was a good online community on the PS3 version so I got it. Haven't actually played any other game on it lol.

blimey i bet its an effort to get away from it :bow: i think you need more icons in your WoW game :p
