Believe me, this was no easy feat. It took me many months of cajoling the missus lol

The room is actually quite small, but the 'monstrosity' fits in the corner quite well. The room will look much bigger once i persuade the missus to bin the rather large PC desk she has at the minute

Here is mine. G25 and a PS3 (sorry, not near enough freetime for a gaming PC)

Glare from the front door makes it look orange but its oldschool Ferrari colors......

The Obutto finally came in yesterday. Took me about 3 hrs to put together. Still need to organize the wires in the back. Here's a pic...

My Cockpit Thus Far: I started building this about 9 years ago and it has been evolving ever since. I use a G25 wheel with a Perfect Pedal Brake mod. I use my PS3 to play F1 Championship Edition, F1 2010, NFS Shift, GT Prologue and very soon GT5. And probably a few more that I am forgetting. The seating profile is very comfortable with seat travel, rake and wheel height/angle adjustment. A removable hood(bonnet) gives me quick access to wiring and any hardware I might store in front of the pedal box. I currently have an ARC_Team G25 E "do it yourself" kit coming from Italy that mods the wheel to deliver more power and sensitivity.

My Cockpit Plans and Dreams: After I complete the wheel mod I will be adding a MOMO mod 26 as well as a Buttkicker Gamer 2. Then I will build a shift console so I can eliminate it from being right next to the wheel while still keeping some ergonomic comfort and speed. Finishing touches will include a repaint with some aesthetic touches such as mirror stalks and some blue LED strip lighting on the interior so an ambient glow emanates from the grilles. Dreams: I would like to do some Bodnar-type mods with shift lights and programmable switches but I think that is PC specific, correct me if I'm wrong. Regardless, it would be nice to mount some clean wheel buttons that function like the one's on the shift console. I like what people are doing with 3 screens, motion-sim(correct?) but it looks a bit cost prohibitive. In any respect, I think I would need to invest in some dedicated PC desktop hardware and some newer HD TV's. This sure seems to be the new wave of sim expression and making it more real.

Thanks for viewing

Just found ths Video from building process in September. I will post one later this evening from the (quite) final triple screen rig in action.

 

[TheRealF1fanatic]

Holy Crap Ensonic. I wanna see that in action.

 

[Ensonic]

I will post one Video later, but at the moment I am driving with headphones, due to cables being to short to reach my amp. Without gamesounds the videos are quite boring...

 

[Dave Stephenson]

man that's a sick looking rig

 

[Ensonic]

First video from the rig how it looks and works at the moment. Tonight I will render another one without action, but many detail views of the construction.

Nice - got mine in last Friday (must've been same incoming batch) - Only two screens ATM - also in need of some cable management.
