*** Desk and Room Gallery***

Well, I got some LED's to put into my case, but haven't got my new case yet so I put them in the room behind my dad and my desk - looks excellent!

Thanks IC3

The chair is a Sparco Sprint, mounted on seat runners:



It has transducers under the seat, mounted to an aluminium plate. This is run via Simvibe software which uses telemtry data from simulation software to provide feedback effects:



A fanatec CSS SQ shifter sit in the detachable shifter pod (extingusher just for show):





The shifter pod also has a transducer for feedback effects:



The pedals are Fanatec Clubsport V2's. These are also mounted on seat runners for adjustability. I built a dead pedal for this as well:



The pedal base also has a transducer fitted:



The sides of the R-Pod have inlays of ribbed rubber, mesh grille and aluminium rods:



LED lighting has been fitted to various places. The tow hook is just for show:



The cutouts for the R-Pod Logo are covered with acrylic:



The wheel is a Fanatec ClubSport CSW with both the Formula and BMW quick release rims:





The PC is a P8P67 Pro with OC'd 2600k processor, 16GB Ram, GTX 680 4GB, Corsair Sata 3 SSD running windows 7.

Wallpaper:



I have a DSD button box on order which will be dismantled and fitted to the dash panels:



Dash panels are to be covered in real carbon fibre:



Today I have made a panel for the lower dash section with an aluminium bar insert:



I'm also in the process of building a unit for the Buttkicker amplifier (which powers the transducers) and the fan (essential for warmer weather).



All this was made using a jigsaw, hand router, power drill, small Black and Decker work bench with the painting and varnishing finished by hand with a foam roller.

Wow :D Thanks for the info! What sort of racing games are you aiming for, with this project? So far how many (working) hours have you spent on this project?


P.S. If you have a bit of spare time post this project on the forum, as I'm sure others will be interested as well. Last thing, make sure to make a video :p
 
Thanks IC3. It will be used predominantly for racing sims - Assetto Corsa, Rfactor 2, Game Stock Car, iRacing etc

I've probably invested somewhere between 300 - 350 hours into the build, basically the vast majority of my spare time for the last 4 months.

I'll be making a video and hope to have something together within the next couple of weeks.

Which forum did you have in mind btw? I can't see a suitable one to post this in.
 
Wow, ThereIs0nly0ne, thats a awesome build. Great for Racing gamers, I agree with IC3, I would be intested in seeing this project, video would be great as well. If you don't mind me asking, how much experience do you need to be with DIY/ Wood work to even make something like this? Great work, the best I have seen with your set up in mind.
 
Thanks mumihp. As mentioned earlier, I'm not quite sure where to post this project (given what's specified in the forum stickies) so any suggestions would be welcome.

I don't have that much experience with woodworking at all. I've completed a few gaming related projects (a couple of arcade cabinets, desk and console cabinet) but that's about it tbh. I started with zero skills a few years ago. Developing capability with this type of thing is relatively straight forwards tbh. All that is really required, aside from a small number of essential tools (jigsaw, router, drill and workbench) is commitment and patience.
 
I would have thought "Project Logs" would be the appropriate section? Great build btw like you said it takes a lot of patience which is something not many people have! :p
 
Thanks and yes, I would have thought so too! The sticky reads as follows:

'This section is for ongoing build logs and modding projects. Please reserve this section for computing related projects only. [Desk and room projects should only be posted here if they include a PC modding project]'
