3 screens, 3 xbox with HDD, 3 copies of the game (presumably LE), Fanatec wheel, possibly some sort of cockpit/seat. Don't think I could do all that myself, at least in my current situation even though the game will probably get a lot of playtime.
 
I'm having to wait patiently as I made the decision to buy it from work using my discount when it's released on Friday!
My gamertag is aceface57 some of you guys should add me, I won't be online too much the racing against, just be good to compare lap times with some friends that actually play forza.
 
Just got home from work and found Forza 3 waiting for me :)

Installing now, can't wait to get started on this.. the next few days/weeks are taken care of ! :)

My main reason for getting the monitors and the Turbo S wheel was for this game supporting the features they offer. I also want to use the setup for PS triple screens in GT5, thats if indeed it will support it.

3x X360 inc wireless headset £450
3x 24" Monitors £540
1x Turbo S £185
1x CS Pedals £190
1x Shifter Set £40
1x Network Hub in cables £10
3x LE Discs £130

Total £1545

Yes I had one of the consoles already I suppose but thats kinda the region you need to be spending from scratch.
Of course the cost so far doesnt include a race cockpit or seat.

Playseats or other are popular frames will weigh in around £300 and some much, much higher.
If anyones considering something like this then going the d.i.y cockpit route instead with a proper racing seat then allow £150 for basic models but with good models like my own COBRA "Sebring" are quite expensive costing around £430+ for the seat and supports on their own.

This will be a serious setup yes but Ive wanted such since FM1 and I really enjoy racing games. Besides ive been putting money towards this for almost a year.
Its very likely this will get many, many hours usage over the next 12-18 months at least and as I dont smoke or drink (very little) then it will work out at reasonable value for money.
Besides the triple screens look awesome, cant wait to play the game this way.

Also it's everyone money so let anyone enjoy any game as they may. I've got 2 G25's* now O.o Logitech just sent me a new one :D

To bad it doesn't work with the 360. Anyone tried out the airfield? What is it like?

* 1 has dodgy FFB and No reverse on the shifter + 20 months worth of usage

I'm also tempted to make a sitdown cockpit arcade machine -o-
 
The online options and settings are amazing...

Just had a few games with a mate, set it up so the winner was the person with the highest drift score (you can also do a time trial type race where the winner = best lap) and set it so the starts were staggered by 5 seconds, Rally style.

Then accidentally left the settings like this for the following drag race - being sat on the line for 5 seconds after your opponent has launched is a bit too much of a handicap for a 1/4 mile race. :D
 
Not a bad few days for me, been away golfing, got back today to find my £130 brand new 360 Elite and Entertainment pack :D and 3 copies of Windows 7 Home prem :D

Email recieved about Forza 3 and will be here tomorrow, luckily working in a school I'm off for half term this week so will have 5 full days with Forza :) Should be great, £46 it came to for the LE, anyone who wants to race, just yell/add me (GT: TimBrad)

Nice to know we can dl all the extra stuff ie: benchmark ring, already :D
