I am currently looking into the Logitech DFP, and I'm also interested in a cockpit, but I'm not willing to pay over $150 US for one. Do any of you have any suggestions for the best cost/quality value of a GT4 cockpit?
 
Well, if you're a real cheapass, the cheapest way would probably be to build something yourself. 👍

If you wanna buy a table or a stand, look around in this part of the forum, there are a couple of threads with links to all kinds of solutions for wheel stands.
But I really doubt you'll find something good under 100$.

edit: Don't know if you saw it yet, but a good place to start looking would be the "cockpit index" thread at the top of the page.
 
When I first got my DFP, I used my old computer desk, and I paid nothing. 👍

Your other best bet is to build it yourself, like Kay-tek said, or you buy something cheap. How much are you willing to spend?

Sorry to say but for that price...you're NOT going to find a 'cockpit' but rather more a 'stand' that will only accommodate wheel/pedals and you'll have to supply the 'place to sit'...

Here's the only one that I know of that falls under your price!

http://www.xlstands.com

There are few other 'stands' out there...but they're more then your budget calls for and are mostly from companies out side the U.S.,with the one exception
(That I know of at least) being the "Game Frame" from a company called "Trinity-Racing" (BRD Distributor) which can be seen by clicking here but again, it's over your budget by $80..

So, you're better off just building something that will accommodate your wheel/pedal setup for the time being... and the link above posted by poopsht above is a good starting point....as is this link here

ok look, i was at home depot last night to buy wood to build myself a cockpit. I got several 8 foot 2x4s, 1x4s, and other pieces of wood as well as a gallon of paint and a brush. after im done the cockpit is going to look similar to the "my quality racing cockpit" thread. All of the items i bought came up to under $50. my point is that if you buy the parts and spend a weekend on building, you can achieve a great looking cockpit for not so much money :)
