So how much quicker will u be with this now Jamie.

Looks cool

 

[Stephen Carson]

Id say he should get 10-20 seconds per lap, anything less would be a waste of money

 

[Jamie Wilson]

Atti; I haven't covered it up yet - just want to use it for a few days to make sure I know I won't have to open it again . I also have to install the Wheelbox yet, four buttons that go on top of the existing ones.

It's going to take me a little while to get used to, which is bad news, considering I have a league race tonight!

 

[Gabor Feher]

wooow verynice

 

[Ben Tusting]

Lee what about one of these as your office chair

 

[Lee Downham]

Very nice and very tempting ... have seen a racing seat manufacturers advertising those for pretty much the same price as that of a full cockpit :shocked: - granted they do look seriously comfy and smart, BUT ...
I am kinda between lives right now ... and do have a really cool, totally adjustable and proper comfy leather fighter-pilot-crossed-with-car-seat style office office chair, but its sat in storage waiting to be shipped down here from Germany ...
The "thing" I use now is just a temporary €40 solution (and bloody uncomfy!) ... really can't wait to get my other back! :amen:

Ajjajajjajjjj, real bad news for me...

I just ran into the info, that the Matrox TH2Go digital edition has got a software update available to download, and now with this it supports 16:10 widescreen resolution also, up to 1680*1050.... and i still have my old 26" Acer, so just 2 more to buy and....

nyammmm, 3 widescreen monitor... no no Atti, you do not need it, you do not need it....

WoW that would be 78" wide screen.
I wonder how GTR evo would look like...probably incredible
I just have 24" ,thinking about 30"

 

[Christopher Aponte]

lllllllllloooooooooooooooooooooooool

your brain is saying, no
but your body is saying....BUUUUUUUY

 

[Simon Bacon]

My cockpit aka the sofa. Very comfy for endurance events

 

[Attila Domján]

yes, thats true... lol

but also my VPP rack monitor stand says NOOOOO, since it is simply not fitting to it, i checked it now, anything wider then a 19" 4:3 ratio monitor is not possible to screw onto it... so at least now i have excuse for my mind to say: no Atti, this you will not upgrade to...

p.s.: unless i make some home made extension for it to support wider monitors too... hm....

 

[Christopher Aponte]

LOOOOOOOll

 

[Lee Downham]

... hmmm I have 3 x high quality 22" monitors in the house all running at 1680x1050 :evil:

Can you get nvidia sli graphics cards working with a th2go?

... think if I take this any further, there may be divorce on the cards ound:

 

[Attila Domján]

I think for the TH2Go does not matter if it is a single card or SLi, you need just one DVI output connected to it, and thats it, from where it gets the power to run all those megapixels is your deal...

 

[Frank Sutton]

Hello Gents.... new here and trying to find a place to start posting. Here's my rig. It's not my design but rather based on one by Bob Dunlop. Still a WIP.

 

[Ben Tusting]

Frank Don't your eyes get a bit funny.
I have a 37 inch TV I would go cross eyed if I sat that close.

Frank is that a Hannspree TV?

 

[Frank Sutton]

This is an experimental position. Hard to tell from the photo but there is a TV stand behind the cockpit that the tv normally sits on. I'm trying to decide whether or not to keep the LCD or move to a triple head setup with 22" screens. The thing that bothers me about the triple head is the bezels between the screens.

 

[Lee Downham]

Hey Frank
... nice first post and nice idea (of Bobs :wink, I think I saw this somewhere else (TWIP?) ... its all made of plastic tubing (like for sinks and stuff) isn't it?

 

[Ben Tusting]

There is a thread with somebody trying to sell those seats

Hey Frank

Yeah, I used 1 1/2" ABS. PVC is more sturdy than this ABS stuff. I wanted it to be black though, so I went with the trade off.
