I wasn't planning on doing this but in another thread it was suggested I should do a build thread as it might generate some interest. So here goes.
Background. I'm a triathlete, my wife is a runner and our kids are also triathletes. Our house at the moment only has an old garage (eventually will be knocked down to form a new room) that's used as a workshop / bike store and my zwift setup. I've got a system in there that used to host zwift before I switched over to an iPad Pro so now the PC just runs youtube / amazon / netflix / plex to keep me entertained. I've wanted to get back into Sim Racing for a long time (just checking my iRacing account I 1st joined in 2009) Life gets in the way but i'm now in a position to have a play again.
Terrible existing setup photo:
As you can see it's pretty grim and during the winter very cold.
I've been planning the Rig build, the PC build and the shed build in my head for about a year now and it's getting close to being "finished".
I'm a computer engineer by trade and haven't built anything like this before. Apologies to any professionals reading this for the crimes against building you might see me comitting, i'm just doing little bits at a time myself between watching youtube videos and reading forums.
Right, off to dig out some photos and fill this thread up
