This is how I always envisioned my rig would look. Low profile and with a tight feeling to it's presence. Pretty to look at. Not some aluminum colored oblonged monstrosity. Sick looking rig 👌

Badass rig, very thoughtfully laid out as well. We have a lot of the same hardware but yours is next level. I also have a work desk right next to my rig so there's a lot of tips in this that I will use. Gonna get a streamdeck ASAP I think.

2 years later, have to say this is a lovely thought out Rig man, I also went for the one monitor for PC one for sim rig route its just easier rather than setting up switchers etc.

Extremely cool setup!! Quick tip for the screen switching if you haven’t already found a way that works. If you have a stream deck there’s a plug-in called wintools. There’s a button for changing primary displays which will make your sim display primary display and desktop display secondary. Then when you’re done racing/flying you can just press the button again and it switches back.

I'm looking at merging my 1st person shooter setup into both FPS and driving/flying. I'm looking at a bunch of different options at the moment. Ideally I'll have it all at one station with a triple monitor setup, but depending on how uncomforatable the FPS setup is, I might need to do what you have done by setting up 2 seperate stations. Informative video, cheers!

I really dig these setups, but I just dont want to need to buy another 43" 4k 144hz display. I dig your systems and the clean cable. Very nice. I kind of did the exact opposite, and modded a sim cage to sit higher, seat raised, with mouse area mounted on and keyboard on a laptop mount also connected to sim rig. I note that I also have had zero back pain while being in this chair.

Thank you so much for all this good sir! I am currently building my first sim rig, which also happens to be my dream rig. The idea of getting cheap belt driven wheelbases and toyish pedals wasn't appealing to me so straight to DD and all the bells and whistles (RIP wallet) lol. I am having many road blocks and questions currently, especially when it comes to monitors and VR. I have the new HP Reverb G2, I bought it for this purpose, haven't tried it yet but from what I hear it's the most immersive. I need some sort of display to run the system still though, because I have a dedicated sim-rig PC, and I can't decide if I want a cheap display setup or something that I can race on besides VR. Now that I spent all the money I'm also questioning if I shouldn't have just moved around my room setup to be able to use one PC for both main & sim-rig, especially after seeing this..... but the problem is my work/game PC is running 3 monitors, and I also have a TV wired to the GPU so I'm all out of display ports. Would love to hear what you think on these issues, thanks in advance! Also wouldn't mind sharing pictures/videos of the setup over discord if that's a thing you're open to.

I tried VR with an odyssey + for a couple months and eventually moved away from it for a few reasons. One of which was the cleanliness and awe of use of my desk area. As you can hopefully tell I invested a lot of effort into getting things set up cleanly here. I have considered a second pc (particularly when upgrading my rig early this year). For my money here only have two displays is a huge QoL improvement for the ease of just turning on/off the second display to lockdown the other one. I have considered additional desktop displays, but that would make the swap over to race mode more complex (the more feature rich your sim rig becomes the more value you will place on this, IMHO the longer the setup time before a session the less you race). In my situation the 38” LG takes up enough of my FOV at the desk that additional monitors don’t make a lot of sense for daily use. If I want a second display for something like discord, yt, comments, etc. an iPad or tablet is easy to plop on the desk on an as needed basis and moved to the sim for an additional screen there as well. In your case you might consider dropping a display or two, or moving the tv to a wireless option (Chromecast, et all). If you don’t have high refresh need on some swappable displays you could use an hdmi splitter with a small remote, but those will add latency (marginal, but still) or hard cap the refresh rate to

Kinda creepy cool that your setup is so similar to mine as I also have my desktop and simrig in the living room and tried to make it neatly as possible. Same Ikea table top and black wooden drawers on the sides. Dedicated ultrawides, keyboards for desktop and simrig. Similar macro's on button box and stream deck..lol.

They can be. Built up a collection of hubs trying to find one that worked. Found that anything important (wheel, pedals, etc) should go straight into the pc and the non essential items can go into the hub. A pcie card with unique usb busses can help quite a bit as well.

There is a usb hub on the rig, and it depends on the display you are using and the resolution. But to my knowledge, yes you need DisplayPort to the carry the additional bandwidth required by doubling the refresh rate.
