The GT Omega rear seat ~~mount~~ frame and RS6 seat arrived. Heavy and sturdy stuff. Now I wait for the monitor mount to arrive.

At this point location of the pc is still on debate.

Why are the pedals so far away from the seat, it looks like you will be laying down like a F1 driver.

I guess it's a CSL DD Ready2Race Bundle, 5Nm or 8Nm? Your opinion on how strong its FFB is? I'm eyeing those for some time now.

It is, yes. They had a discount on the 8Nm so I went for it. It is a very strong ffb compared to the Logitech Pro (from 20 years ago). Highly recommend it.
ninja edit: the wheel has a shift led built-in. And the software compared to Logitech (old crap) is waaaaaay better but also much more elaborate.
Things I'll buy in the future are the clutch pedal, and then also the manual/sequential shifter.

Cause I'm a tall Dutchman. Actually I can still slide the seat back a bit further but than my arms aren't long enough to reach the wheel anymore :laugh:

I'm leaning towards Moza R9 and R12 bundles (wheel & base), and IDK for pedals. It's a fair bit more money, but I think it's worth it. Also Asetek La Prima bundle is great contender in that price range, although unlike Fanatec and Moza, I can't order it from my country.

You must have legs like a Giraffe, I'm 6'2" and it looks to far away, especially with that frame over the area where your shins would be. It looks too restrictive.

The Moza R9 was on my short list too and is a great contender; a little bit cheaper with more torque. Whatever you pick you won't be disappointed.

I'm 1,95m/6`39" and my knees are slightly bend which makes it a comfortable position. And looks can be deceiving

Next time I'm going for a seat with extended leg support..maybe rip the seat out of a BMW.

I think i can beat that leg question easily. I', also 1,95m/6'39". My jeans are 30W/38L. So 38" of length. I can only buy them at Amazomn Global store imported from the US. Europe ends thinking at a length of 34"/36". I'm not large but the world is much too small for me.

Bought a classic car for my dads birthday, a Renault 5 tl ,1972.

Here my sister on the photo with my dads car, decades ago

KrazyT · Friday at 11:53 AM

The good old Renault 5.
Long time ago, my parents had exactly the same car

I am moving my Spam system from my Bitfenix M2022 case to a Lan-Li A3 Dan case with a Alphacool Eisbaer 360 cooler for over clocking and better thermals.

Case:

Cooler:

I like the case so far, it has allot of different internal configurations for the type of parts/cooling you are going to use in your build, like an optional vertical GPU bracket. I would like to see Lan-Li shrink this case down to an ITX variant.

Another hard drive for my PC, replacing a 2TB WD Caviar Green that I had for almost a decade now, which still works fine but I need the extra capacity.

gurusmi · 2024-07-06T14:08:08+0100

Just ordered my new working desk. 200cm x 75cm (78,7 x 29,5 inch). The massive wooden plate (finger-jointed beech) is 50mm (2 inch) thick. They say the weight is about 65kg. The desk feet can carry more than 300kg. They are delivered around the 23rd of july. So i have to wait till i can mount it. In general the plate is used for workbenches.

Ooh, pretty case. I'm looking for a replacement case of the NR200p and the Lian Li A3 is on my short list along with the Deepcool CH160.

gs020p · 2024-07-06T20:26:48+0100

Bought Secret Lab Single Monitor Arm and also Poly Surround 80C Headset.

The case is one of the best case's that Lan Li has done IMO. I will post in the case forums how the changeover was and issues I ran into some time today if time allows me.

Another Thinkpad T14, this time gen2 with Intel.

Nothing special, just for a generic Linux install. Hopefully they didn't do anything crazy with the sound hardware on that thing.

Blaeza · 2024-07-07T03:27:28+0100

7800X3D, Peerless Assassin 120 argb, x670e msi Tomahawk wifi, g skill expo 32gb 6000 cl30(not here yet), crucial 1tb gen5 nvme and some mx6.

Caring1 · 2024-07-07T04:58:18+0100

Power button so I can use it to test Motherboards out of a case.
