Actually looks like you could slip a little side table next to it for your bottle of red. I like the seat to.

My rig cost too much, can't afford a camera. :(
You'll just have to use your imagination, 'til I get one.
3x24" LG monitors

How have you found the cockpit? Worth the $
-
Yeah, I'm happy with everything.
The cockpit really helps being a solid unit, as it allows me to exert enough pressure for the load-cell brake without anything moving.
I've had to modify the monitor stand a bit, to take the extra load of the three monitors, but it's well over-engineered so no issues there.
In fact, it's solid enough for the vibrations from my Buttkicker to interfere with the wheel's FFB, so the BK's on the shelf ATM.

What's the consensus on the best way to support 3 monitors? A long desk? A corner desk? 3 monitors are on my wish list and maybe getting closer to reality.

good idea
I should put a slot in the side board with the keyboard to skip the shank of the glass into it!

Hello guys,
The G27 wheel is giving me hard time,is rattling big time,very noisy,no matter what I am doing in the settings,very clunky,,,extremely annoying in assetto corsa and iracing....have you got any idea on how to eliminate a bit of this terrible noise and rattling?
Maybe the latest simracing upgrade are causing this,i love hotlapping with bmw E30 with AC but it is almost undriveable because of this reason
what wheel have you got guys?,,,any reccomendations for a new wheel?...I just want to throw away this thing...thx

..I heard the fanatec wheel are smoother because they have the belt drive...is it worth it?
-
I've an idea; buy a cog-less (i.e. belt driven) wheel :)
The fanatec porsche wheel is pretty silent - and smooth - apart from the fan noise.
I've ordered a new one, though, with the free pedals, and the wheel came broken. Still waiting for the RMA process to start... The pedals are pretty good, though, I've replaced my sorely aging A1's.
So, yeah, while it's a pretty cheap option ( $250 all up, see the 2nd combo here (http://au.fanatec.com/index.php?route=module/configurator)) the product manufacturing quality and the support does not seem to be up to the level one would expect...
-
Wow!!
Sorry to hear about the wheel.thats very unfortunate!!
I did not know about that sale combo,it looks good,but I just got a pair of CSR elite pedals,and they are good,way better than the G27 ones obviously,i never had a load cell brake before and it is so fun,and I am glad to see less plastic around :-*...good built.
I really would like a new wheel as I have been playing with G25 and G27 almost all my life,... ::) but I am bit of a tight ass you know...?? hahahaa
...no I am joking I will get them soon..thx Istvan very handy as usual,and let me know about your wheel
