ATTENTION! For those of you who play GT with a wheel, what do you guys attach it to? Ex: a table, one of those fancy sim racing chairs, etc...I'm considering purchasing one of the Logitech wheels when GT5 comes out and would know the optimum set-up for a wheel. Thanks.
i'll be playing in my SEGA driving cabinet that i fiddled with and made compatible with ps3 (and pc/ps2).. it has a real arcade force feedback motor- 100 times better than anything you can buy over the counter- so no messing around lol!
more info here..!
That is how I want so set up my rig,one of the worries is of course the size of the monitor,I have play arcades several times and the screens are like 32",I will love to assemble in a 42" in that space.
in my case,I would have to order the thing with pre-defined measures and think out the wholes and boxes for the wiring and the slots for ports,is somehow really complicated,specially if you disassemble the steering wheel to make it fit into the "structure"
(BTW god job with the wiring and the assembly,its really hard work to do)

Thats whats up man! I know your going to have a great time 👍 Im saving up for the that Sony 3D Bravia 55 inch the wife thinks Im crazy and hates the ideal because we got a 52 Samsung 240hz already with another 46 in our room, but I dont have one for my new game room. Shes like "play it on the living room TV!" So I have to save on the low shhhhh 
I have everything else though expect I got to get a new wheel my pedals broke. 
A lot of folks have great setups in this thread we all are going to have a wonderful time playing GT5 this NOV!

Can't go wrong with the wheelstand pro.
Very adjustable. Sturdy. Folds away in under 20 secs.
Great investment and fantastic service. (I've got two).

At the moment I have one of those folding chairs with a cup holder, a small folding table for the wheel (perfect height for the chair, creates a very natural driving position) 22inch HDTV 1080p (biggest I can realistically get on my shelf unit) and of course, the Driving Force GT wheel.
I would prefer to be using a playseat by the time GT5 gets to us and possibly make the purchase of a G25 or G27 but we shall see.

Quick question, I just purchased this chair [http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=cat13506&type=page&skuId=9619795&productId=1218133518594&defurl=false&h=387] along with the wheelstand pro for my soon to be G27 wheel. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to attach the shifter in a more natural position (down near thigh level) rather than attached next to the wheel itself? Any suggestions are welcome.

@trk29, why not create that little green car into a gt5 simulator?
By the way, what kind of parts did you use to create the cockpit? They seem to be easy to make, just measure, cute and combine with some brackets or whatever the things are.
And yes there is a homemade thread, but its called cheap alternatives..

The material is called 80/20 pretty expensive stuff. I got it from work because there was scrap from projects so I got to take it home. You are right just measure and cut and install with brackets from them or make your own.
Thanks for the link.

I am getting an LG LED HD 1080P screen today; with 100Hz TruMotion, LED technology, 3.000.000:1 contrast ratio. This screen looks awesome. Plus I'll be able to connect my 360, PS2, Laptop, Blu-ray player AND my PS3 to it! It's an awesome set.
And obviously I'll have my DFGT and WSP
We just got a 55" Samsung LED ultra slim last week, its incredible. We decided on this rather than dishing out extra for 3D due to the fact 3D will cause headaches when viewing for long periods of time - I will do atleast 6-8 hour GT5 sessions
