It's used mainly for iRacing, but every once in awhile I'll also do some Project CARS and/or American Truck Simulator on it as well. Super fun, pretty realistic in its own respect, but definitely a good conversation piece.

Corsair H100i v2

16GB (2x8GB) Corsair Vengeance (white LED) DDR4-3200 - actually out of case for RMA
Corsair Force LE 960GB SSD
MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Sea Hawk X
Corsair CS550M
Corsair Carbide 400C

The running gear
3x BenQ XL2411 - 1920x1080, 144Hz, 1ms
Corsair STRAFE RGB with Cherry MX Silent switches

That's pretty sweet! I wish I had the time to utilize something like that.

That's super bad ass.

Do you run mostly circle tracks?

That looks pretty cool. I wouldnt mind using that for Need for speed and other arcade racers. I just cant get into simulations.

Thanks! I think a setup like this would be lost on an NFS title. A single monitor, cheaper (non-custom) wheel and no button box would be decent though.

Thanks! I have to make the time myself, especially with a 10 month old. It usually requires sacrificing sleep and racing deep into the morning on the weekends. Lol

Thanks! I almost exclusively run circle tracks. I'm a NASCAR junkie on iRacing. We do race Watkins Glen and Sonoma though.

Sweet set-up! Mine is a lot simpler. Just a Logitech G920 with the shifter attachment and a Xbox one.

Don't mind the wires, It doesn't stay out.

Thanks man! Not as cool as yours but it does the job.

Not as cool or not as expensive? There's a difference. Lol

My setup is just a bunch of money, mainly because I just had to keep with the Corsair parts where I could. Our wheels are pretty similar with yours having the upper hand with a shifter, and three screens is totally unnecessary for any reason (and I think impossible on consoles anyway).

If I could do it over, I would have a single ultrawide monitor, your wheel, and a dedicated sim platform with seat. Much cheaper, much more efficient.

I guess both lol, simulators can get crazy expensive. This one is definitely the best bang for your buck. I would like a playseat at some point I just don't have the room for it in my apartment unfortunately.

I've seen some $20K+ motion simulators. Now that's crazy!

All I'm looking to add from here out is Corsair's new T1 chair, whenever it releases.
