Looks pretty nice to me. I'm still lap dancing with my wheel that Soapynuts gave me. And during the colder mos I put it away. Because my stocking feet get cold on the cement floor covered with basic carpeting down in the basement.  Is your tv a 24 incher?  Looks about the same size as mine.

Not quite, it's a 26" Sammy. Which is about the right size when having it so close. I put it on one of my 32" and like the smaller size better.

Wow guys, those are some very cool setups. I'd post a pic of my setup but I find it a little embarassing to post a pic of my living room couch, 50" TV, a black xbox controller, and a set of Turtle Beach X11's. Boring but gets the job done!!

The immersion of a rig is what makes this game so much fun for me. I'm not the fastest but it's so addicting.

On that note, I can't beleive how fast and accurate some of you guys are with a standard controller. Armor11 in particular.

It's not boring when you're that fast!

Hey guys. For those that were interested in my Rig:

Fanatec just bought out the company that makes it, and is now selling it for only $300. I highly recommend it (especially at that price):

http://us.fanatec.com/Stand?product_id=555

I can provide a full review if any of you are thinking of pulling the trigger.

That cought Parcells eye but I'm concerned that the body isn't strong enough for my stealth like 240 pounds bouncing around in a tight contested race...wouldn't I crush or possibly bend it?

I should never have looked through this thread. Just ordered this setup. Have had my Fanatec over a year and never used it. Gives me a reason to blow the dust and chit off the wheel and pedals. About time I retired the old MS wheel anyways.

Probably worth clarifying that I did mean "use the Hoover" in the literal (removing dirt from carpet) sense. Don't want anyone jumping to the wrong conclusion....

Good one white but you've been around long enough to know we want people jumping to the wrong conclusion regarding superficial discussions about the positions we like to see our wives embrace.

 

Glad to see Fitzy clarify he was talking about yoga because Parcells was confused how carpet burns could take affect in under 10 seconds.

The weight is not a problem at all. You will not bend anything. The website says it supports up to 200kg (440 lbs). The only thing I can think of that might be an issue is the width of the seat. You sit "in" the seat rather than "on" it, and the seat bars are only about 16" apart at the narrowest point. If that is an issue I would email fanatec to see if they have any options.
