Moving my setup to it's own room, just picked up a 32" 1080p Tv just for the racing setup.
Girlfriend and I were having problems sharing our big tv.....hahahaha

BTW, I know you were just kidding...... I'm not trying to show off in anyway
I'm trying to egg-on the people with the really impressive setups to step up to the plate lol
(Ahem, Chilicoke ect.....)

I think I should account only what I've bought specifically to play GT5 and other racing games, so I'd leave the HD TV and the 5.1 sound system out of the math...

Wheelstand Pro - € 125,00
G25 - € 149,00
PS3 80BG - € 299,00
GT5P - € 29,00
SCC - € 49,00
V8SS:NC - € 42,00
Shift - € 29,00
F1:CE - € 19,00

Total - € 741,00
 
EDIT

Removed as "Tokyo Drift" claims I aparently look down on everyone and have a superioity complex.

Are those smaller monitors on both sides next to the speakers?

Yes 7'' 1080p Touchscreens. I use em for rear view cams in Forza 3 and other games for pc. Also for telemetry and splits too when playing on my computer. Essentially they act as side mirrors.

I'm hoping we will be able to do that with GT5 on PS3 and multiple PSP with GT5. 💡

Me too but minus the psp's ;). But yhea it works amazingly well, I had doubts and purchased them one at a time to be sure it would work properly / the way I imagined. As long as GT5 lets you set the other ps3's to a rear view mode it should be exactly the same
 
Hi Stega...

Although you get to use them with PC games as well its a lot of money for side mirrors Stega for FM3.
I tried the same thing with my projector and using 2x 24" monitors like that once for a laugh but it doesnt compare to how a triple screen experience enchances a racing game. For me anyways that better used the extra consoles needed than just wing mirrors. Although I admire your passion and think we have much in common.

I dont do PC racing anymore but have you heard of "Touch Buddy" software for your screens that can have visual touch templets for PC games?
See below it looks awesome for touch screens.

I would love to do triple screen but It is very unrealistic to have 3 60'' plasma's. I am very satisfied using them as rear view mirrors, and they give me a similar advantage to 3 screens fov as I can always see behind me very clearly.

I already have a button box for one of the screens but I will have to check that software out, looks good.
