SONY Bravia 32'' Motionflow 120h 1080p with HDMI cables, Logitech G27 Racing Wheel..hopefuly ill get a Playseat in december. Turtle Beach PX21. only thing missing is the game itself lol
 
Driving force GT, Wheelstand Pro, Yamaha 7.1 home cinema receiver with Monitor Audio speakers, Optoma 1080p PJ and 9 ft screen... oh, and a big squishy armchair.
 
Well, the HDMI inputs on my TV appear to be dead. So I'll be playing in SD until I can get it repaired or replaced.
 
I'll be playing with a steering wheel on my PC monitor. It might not be much of a cockpit, but it's all I can do for now with the limited space I have. :)

P.S. PS3 isn't there because it's currently hooked up to the TV.

Insignia 55"/ 1080P/ 120 Hz.

Honestly, I prefer using the standard PS3 dualshock controller. I know, some will say it takes realism away, but I don't like using the wheel.
 
G27/Turbo S wheel and Controller

Edit:I will switch back and forth because I have a feeling like Forza 3 most online players will be faster on a pad. I just have a strong/disgust/sometimes hate them feeling about the pad players.
 
I have already posted but I'll post again, with a lousy quality picture.

I have a 42" tv and a NAD surround amp. To this I use 3x6" low quality rear speakers and as front speakers I have Dali Concept 8 2x8". The sound is alright, altough I could use better speakers. I don't have any wheel jet but I may buy it in a near future.

Yeah, the cat in front of the tv isn't always that calm, but sometime even he has to take it easy. He's not alone though, he has another terror companion.

with the new HKS Racing Controller (being released on 17th Nov):

That HKS controller looks interesting. What's the MSRP?

As for me, I'll be using the Driving Force GT to play on my Hannspree (cheap brand) 24" PC Monitor. Go HD or go home, baby!

I was going to go the pad route and bought a limited edition ferrari thrustmaster race pad with a similar type little wheel on the left of the pad but it felt like you were pushing up to turn right and down for left, and it is a bit stiff with some delay before it turns.
I won't be using it again. It seems like the HKS controller looks a little better but that wheel thing is still going upwards instead of left to right, but good luck with it I hope it is much better than mine.
I have since bought a Wheelstand Pro and have fixed my G25 to it now.
 
I am in the process of welding my interpretation of the Virtual Roadster (which should be pretty identical). For my early christmas present my girl bought me the GT3 rs v2 clubsport. So that coupled w/ my 50" Pansonic plasma, and surround in a box, is going to be how I am racing into the new year. Now if i can manage to not catch my pants on fire while welding again I might just make it to release date.
 
I will be playing GT5 on my 42" 120hz LG. I will be using a G27 and I am hoping to buy a playseat before the release date(checking amazon everyday for deals, I heard some people say they got one off there for as low as $150).
 
32" 1080i LCD TV with G27 wheel mounted on Obutto oZone cockpit.

Probably gonna invert the pedals, but the oZone hasn't arrived yet, so I haven't decided.

My exact setup as well. I love it. Just looking for a bigger tv to get this Holiday.
 
Well I'll be playing on a sony 60hz 42" HDTV seen here:

Using this PS3:

And a playseat + G25

I'm looking to get a buttkicker or something to make the gaming experience even better, maybe i'll get a bigger steering wheel or somehow flip the pedals
 
By way of the DS3 and a nice new 42" 1080P LED i bought just for the game. With that and the PS3 itself, this GT5 game sure is costing me a lot more than i figured. Oh wait it will cost me more because i will need to buy it when its FINALLY OUT.

Hurry up Sony!!!

Wheel : Fanatec Porsche 911 Turbo S wheel

Mount/Seat : Playseat Evolution (although got a Rennsport Wheel Stand coming to replace this)

TV : Pioneer KRP500a 50" Plasma TV

Amp : Sony STR - DH800

Speakers : Q Acoustic 2000 series 5.1 setup
 
Controller: Standard SIXAXIS. I'm too poor to afford a wheel.
Display: My 23'' 1080p TV/Monitor
Seat: Ghetto-ass college dorm chair.
Speakers: TV Speakers.
 
G27 wheel on my 24" Dell Monitor and Logitech speakers. With my favorite foldable chair and weird place to put the shifter, (on the handrail of another chair), my makeshift cockpit is amusing.
 
I don't have enough space to get a full chair, but I just might get a new wheel.

So, for now, sixaxis on my computer monitor, which is 24" so I can switch between GT5, my PC, and cable TV.
 
While I’ve been patently waiting for it to come out I have done a few upgrades.

I have my PS3 hooked up to a new monitor, an 23 Inch LG Flatron that runs at a nice 1080p its not much compared with a massive plasma TV but it’s got a great picture

I also have my PS3 connected via optical cable to a Yamaha DSP-AX640SE amplifier with some 100w Wharfedale speakers and a matching subwoofer, not gone much higher than a third volume yet and its actually quite loud

To play it I have a Logitech G25, don’t have the room for a proper racing seat or a stand which is a shame as I can’t always have it set up
