My new 'toy'
Can't be Just Another FIA 'Observer' ALL the time....
Wednesday, February 17, 2010 by Jafo | Discussion: Personal Computing
I have the computer [i7-920 12gig and XFX 1g GTX285] ....I have the racing sims [GTR, GTR2, GTL, GT Evo, NetKar, GP4, rFactor, NFSU, TestDrive Unlimited] and....I already have the wheel/pedals [G25]....
Logical progression [and an Office/Computer desk rebuild imminent] and it's only fitting I drive in 'style'...
'Should' turn up here in a day or two...[for some reason it's coming from Perth, WA]....

Yep more money and now you need a HD Projector with a large screen and a large surround sound system.
Looks nice Paul.

That's awesome stuff. How much would that set you back in Dollars? I'm horrible at conversion rates. I take it you play a TON of driving games? It says it supports joysticks too so I'd use it for a flight sim or a mech game. Still, that's a killer set-up.

Built the desk [still not painted]....setup the seat....when the guys came over to stay for the Grand Prix....

ya better get a can of compressed air and clean out that fan grill, buddy.

Looks like a lot of fun, buit If it were mine I would hide it from the view of visitors. I would probably have a lot of fun with it, but I would also probably look pretty rediculous in it.

That's not dust inside..it's tissue paper in place as a proper filter....
Reply #36 Wednesday, March 31, 2010 8:09 PM
that is freaking sweet, Jafo!
And thanks for the tissue paper filter idea!
Reply #37 Wednesday, March 31, 2010 8:15 PM
Get compressed air anyway, that stuff is so fun to play with

I see you still have the gear shift on the wrong side of the chair. 
Reply #40 Wednesday, March 31, 2010 10:22 PM
It's on the correct side for this end of the civilised world...but I tend to use the paddle-shifts anyway...as I'm mostly driving Formula One...

Well....I have it....
It's all black [frame and seat]...and I put the gear lever fitting on the left [where we use them in Oz]. The build quality is nothing short of excellent....and the all-up cost, with the gear selector addon and delivery [from Perth - 2000miles away] added up to AUD $777 ..... worth every penny, too....for anyone 'seriously' into driving....
I'll post some pics....though at the moment things are a bit temporary as I'm building a new office/computer desk soonish...
