looks cramped :/ maybe its just the steering wheel that makes it have that look

It is- Well actually Its quite comfortable.. I reach the mouse easily and comfortably and my keyboard sits on my lap since its wireless... I have been meaning to get a new desk for quite some time now but I cant find anything nice that suits me.. I would like to get my hands on a jerker but they are impossible to find. I was supposed to be building a desk out of 2" exhaust tubing and doing a cool Semi-stacks off the top thing and making it look all awesome and stuff but I never got around to it.. and that stuff costs money. Soon enough though I hope! :)

I think the speakers and the wheel/shifter make up all the clutter. This is easily fixed by wall mounting some speakers and stowing away the wheel/shifter when not in use. Surround setup like that is a waste all facing forward, get a good 5.1 or 7.1 headset instead.

I use the wheel all the time as I am addicted to GRID and GT-R Evolution.. I usually play daily. The G25 would be a PITA to take down and set up daily anyways- atleast with this setup. About my speakers.. I have the two rears mounted on the wall behind 6.5' behind me? Or were you talking about how close the front three speakers are to eachother? :confused:
 
It looks sweet. I suppose you could create more space by putting the case on the floor, but given your real estate in that room, it looks fine for the way you like to use it.
 
looks like a lot of run to play driver games with a setup like that...

what are some good PC driving games, i have played GRID and the graphics are great but that is it...

If your into simulation GT-R Evolution is a GREAT one.. very very very realistic and accurate. DiRT is a real fun one too... I also have Test Drive unlimited which is a really fun online game.

wheres the keyboard?
Click to expand...

On my bed. Its wireless :)
 
Yea I was referring to the front speakers being in proximity, isn't really an issue if you aren't too concerned with directional noise, but you use the space you have well I'll grant you that, +1 to wireless keyboards, I love my dinovo edge!
 
I still have a ton of work to do here.

Here is a majority of my communications gear. Still have a lot of cleaning up to do there.

Here is the PVC conduit coming up next to the desk. Only have a couple Ethernet cables at the moment. As you can see I also need to install the floor boards :)

Better picture of the desk. I have a Linux box and Windows Box.

The door which still needs trim. Pay no attention to the mess outside the door :) Outside of the door there I have another desk that I use for all my soldering and such.

This is where the coax enters the room. I also have a 16x16 whole near the bottom. This is going to house a furnace filter to help keep the dust down. You can also see a piece of conduit coming out of the wall at the floor. This is where all the 12v wiring will go into a switch box and then to the ceiling for the ventilation panel, lights, etc. I currently only have the ventilation panel wired.

The patch panel the I built with a rack panel blank and a bunch of Amphenol N Bulkheads. You can also see the 2M amp below it. I have the amp wired into the patch panel so that I can patch any radio or antenna to it.

Here's mine. Normally the Lian Li case wouldn't be sitting on my desk but I had to diagnosis what was wrong with it. Ended up being a bad stick of ram causing it to not boot up.

my only critique is the vodka. dump that shit. buy some scotch. graduate to manhood.

Haha thanks :) Its a pretty fun setup. Its nice to just crank up the volume once in awhile and go racing, it feels like your in one of those Pizza Hut arcade racers except 100000 times cooler hahaha.

got tired of the wire mess, and I wanted to create a one-stop "command center" but have procrastinated against it for about 2 years. but I spent this afternoon doing just that.. my 37" is only 1366x768 ( pretty much 720p) but it gets the job done :D

You don't get eye strain sitting that close? I had a 32" on my desk and even that gave me headaches, so I had to return it.

My wife's area, I made all her wires disappear :)...

What kind of chair do you have? On your setup?
Click to expand...

I got it at Office Max a while back, but it might be discontinued now... I got it on clearance for around $130, it was originally more around $250 or so. I forgot the exact make and model, and I can't find it on the Office Max website anymore. I'll see if I can figure that out and get back to you.
