i didn't notice the 3 monitors till after a few mins after i started looking at his setup..thats one badass setup..

[zmax - sim]

wow.  That is a badass setup indeed.  Some serious hardware there....

There's a deal at my local MicroCenter pc store.   They have a playseat revolution plus T300RS for $500 plus tax.  Wonder if I should jump on this and sell my TMX with regular pedals on ebay.

I'd love to know what his setup cost..I noticed his steering was spot on..

For an interesting setup, checkout YouTube for Mixed Reality.

Plays driving sims combining VR and a green screen. Results are unbelievable.

Wow.  That's amazing.

Just bought a racing cockpit.  Looks similar to The Playseat Evolution but a little bit cheaper and comes with a shifter mount built in.  Got it for $249+shipping - $20 Visacheckout.

You're killing me Z!!  This along with a good wheel/pedal set and VR would be pretty epic.

 

This may be my next project.

 If you find yourself getting sucked into sim racing then do yourself a favor and visit http://www.derekspearedesigns.com/.

 

 Ive ordered his stuff before and it's wonderful quality. I had his Track Boss button box and a sequential shifter that stand up well to the abuse. In total i bet i had around $1,200 into my setup. iRacing is the best bang for your buck. It's costly but you'll find the best racing with it. Rfactor 1 and 2 are great as well.

Is there a simpler setup that I can get for just the basics?  Something I can easily get out of sight for a more wife-friendly environment?

I just run a Logitech G27 wheel and pedals, with optional H-Pattern shifter for some of those retro cars. 

 

Wheel just bolted to my desk and I sit in an office chair, playing on a 27" single screen. Usually just play iRacing and RRRE.

Mebby,

 

Just clamp the wheel to a small table/night stand.  pedals go underneath.  when done, put it away.

A lot of people swear by these things where it all bolts to the unit and folds up easily to go in a closet, against a wall, under a bed in some scenarios, etc

I'd probably go this route as this would be in our media room where I play all my PC games.  This could easily be put away in a closet when I'm done.  This is the ticket.

@Mebby:  You going to play in VR I assume?

 

VR Driving/Racing seems like an awesome use of VR right now!

Yep!!  It's already a blast with a simple XB1 controller sitting in a chair.  A good steering wheel and pedal would push it over the top.

Find yourself a G27 wheel from Logitech. You can bolt it to a desk or some people will use those wooden TV trays as well. Unbolted really easy when not in use. I mentioned the G27 as it's regarded as the best wheel for the money ratio. It was my wheel of choice. The H shifter was a bit flimsy but upgrading to the one I had above was all I ever needed.

Thanks.  Can the G27 be mounted to a stand like the one Buck posted above?
