What do you race on?

 

[Scutch]

What do you race on?

Battlefield 4.

 

[Addicted]

Haha! ^


This is going to be awesome, and finally someone who builds a nice spec PC and doesn't buy some random horrible component - they're all top notch!

Eagerly await more pics, I'd love to get a steering wheel + seat like this, but have no room .


Will the single 780 be enough for 3 monitors? Not sure what sim you are using.

 

[Ja5on]

Iracing.

ive got the graphics set to full and capped at 100fps no probs. from what I've been reading the single card will be fine

Should be. A GTX 690 runs F1 2013 in 5760x1200 absolutely fine

Looks ace, how much would this little lot set back a pauper like me?

More than you can afford pal. Obutto Rig. (F&F quote doesn't work too well here )

 

[BoatNonce]

Especially as the Obutto's only £500-550. 'Tis rather nice though.

 

[Ja5on]

Rig with 3 monitor stand ( plus wee discount ) was £590.

T500rs was £400 bought couple of years back. Got a new custom wheel to replace the standard one.

 

[Jonnio]

Very nice, puts my Punto seat nailed to a kitchen unit with Fanatec bits to shame.

 

[Munson]

That's pretty smart. Perhaps not the smartest placement for the PC though? Drawing in warm air from over a radiator will surely elevate case temps?

He could just wind down the window, but he may have changed it for some perspex.

On a serious note, looks awesome. Radiator shouldn't be too much of a problem.

 

[Munson]

Yeah I'm sure it'll be fine, but personally I'd have the PC on the other side. Way more practical also.

Its there for space really. A0 chart board in the room aswell as a cross trainer. I can reach the power button from the seat, and the mouse and keyboard are wireless. Radiator is switched off so no issues with warm air.

Got a butt kicker 2 from ebay which I fitted today, defo adds somit different

 

[Ja5on]

Triple screens fitted

 

[Heez]

Love a good sim rig. First thing I'll be doing when I own a man cave.

 

[Jonnio]

:thumbup:

Thinking of getting a buttkicker soon myself.

 

[Ja5on]

 

[Dave..]

Looks nice and everything, and I'm sure it's epic fun... But I just couldn't sit there playing on it and have my girlfriend walk in seeing me like that.

How come, severely under the thumb and not allowed to have some fun/alone time?

 

[BoatNonce]

It's a much safer way of getting road head.

The wife talked me into going for it, means she gets peace. Also she uses it

 

[Wilkeh]

Where do you live? I want a go!

 

[BoatNonce]

At some point I'll be doing this.

 

[Ja5on]

Hahahaha

 

[The Fatty]

after going through all that trouble, he could ha at least wired up the dials and got them off the screen!

 

[BoatNonce]

He's doing it with a playstation, so no way to export dial information. Funnily enough I have the software on my laptop to export dial information to real dials.

 

[iain187]

i use the ihud app for iracing...


that guy was married, maybe he has a creative way of trying to introduce his missus to dogging.

 

[Ja5on]

Got that app aswell, just no linked it up with new rig.

Couple of pics of my new wheel

 

[BoatNonce]

 

[Ja5on]

Hahaha. Replace the current wheel on the T500, going to take the paddles off too

 

[Thrust-Rated]

What's that dial he keeps messing with in video above?

Great set up too Jason

 

[BoatNonce]

What's that dial he keeps messing with in video above?

Adjusts the dimmer on the light outside the rig.

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Adjusts the dimmer on the light outside the rig.

Why not just have the lights off? :-/

 

[BoatNonce]

I'm guessing to keep the cockpit illuminated to the same level as it would be ingame, but you're right, I see little point in having the lights on.

 

[Sam]

At some point I'll be doing this.

That's just to much in my opinion and it doesn't even look that good.

Give me this anyday....

[BoatNonce]

That's running LFS.

Tbh I'd just cut a donor car in half. Easier, cheaper and more realistic when done with a full PC rig running dials etc.
