I figured I'd start a thread to showcase my sim rig and also answer any questions I can about the setup. This will allow me to post the specs, photos i've taken, as well as my experience and reviews of products. I also plan to do a few videos as well. Hopefully this will help others getting into this as I am a newbie as well.
This has all been aquired over the last month which is when I got into sim racing. I've made a nice little list of what my rig consists of which will hopefully help anyone looking to find out what a particular part is. As I go I will be posting photos of the items as well as the full setup when it's complete. I'm waiting on a few more items to arrive before it's complete. To start here is the current finalized list of my rig.
The day my monitors arrived:
The rSeat Evo V3 - Definitely the best cockpit i've owned. I had a Playseat and enjoyed it but this is in a league of it's own.
My Thrustmaster TH8RS mounted and ready to go. Currently swapped it over to a sequential shifter.
I purchased a Fanatec CSR w/ pedels and inversion kit as well, but i've since ordered a full Clubsport setup and am waiting for it to arrive. For the time being, this is a pretty nice setup, but i've swapped back to F1 style pedals and did away with the inversion setup.
The computer my buddy built me (http://www.crimsonpc.com). Totally awesome setup and really well done. Looks good too!
Obviously I couldn't wait till my monitor stand arrived so I made due with what I had. This is my buddy giving it a go the day we set it up.
Monitor stand should be here in a day or so and then i'll be able to start setting everything up the way I intended. The screens will be much closer to the driver. Main screen should sit just above the wheel base, with room left for the LCD Dashboard display to mount. Hopefully with the screens closer and the side screens on more of an angle it will give a real nice immersion feel to it.
