Post your GT5 set up and man cave

[mikeonthebike]

Oh my...that looks sweet!
HumanRacingGT is by far the best looking rig on the market, can't explain how clean and nice your setup looks.

I'll post mine soon, needs some cable management first.

I like the looks of the humanracingGT, but I don't like that it's so expensive for a mainly plastic rig, and I've seen some videos of how they are kind of floppy in the wheel mount, but they do look nice

My home-made set-up for gt5!

 

[Energizerrr]

Nice and functional.
And what's up with everyone inverting their pedals?

 

[Caz]

Nice. Only concern i see is the ps3 housing. Is it also open on the back end? Otherwise you may run into heating problems.

I highly suggest a variable speed fan for your PS3. Even in an open area, I use external fans to push cool air and pull out hot air. Search Amazon or NewEgg for "USB fan". Mine is hooked up to an AC powered 10 port USB Bus.

Again, I have the Signature Edition. And it doesn't have that...

ah sorry for the late reply guys, it was the Limited edition, I missed out on the signature edition coz i was out of town.

and thank you Mr Latte, Energinzer, Kamuifanboy for the positive comment, I wasnt' sure if I post the new keybaord accesorries or not, I'll post my review of it very soon

because the race cars have an inverse pedalswith the inverse pedals you should have more sensible and precise braking!

uh what? Every Formula Car I have ever driven has had pedals that come out of the bottom tray...

By race cars i mean Super-Gt,Rally car(most of them)!you are right,Formula1,Formula-3000.....have the pedlas came out of the bottom...

Inverted pedals are for Rally style racing...

I've sat in Toyota's Supra and SC430 Super GT Machines and they are both coming from the floor.

I hard mounted both my CSP and T500 pedals, now they do not flop around if I apply a lot of braking force, such as Threshold braking or heel to toe. When they were just lying on the floor they always moved around on me.

GT, WTCC, LMP, Formula (etc) and some road cars don't have inverted pedals.
Inverted pedals are only realistic if you're driving road cars most of the time.

Ford's, citroen, renault, honda's and so many other car makers all have inverted pedals ..........And this is getting off topic
It's really personal preference how we set up our pedal's and usually a result of what we're used to

And from what I can tell it's the brake pedal that's inverted in this picture

Sweet! What kind of projectors are those. I want some.

 

[ussr]

I love those multi screen setups! It adds an incredible level of immersion, and yours looks perfect. 👍

I don't have anything impressive, so I'll just post other peoples' cool displays! Here's two of the better ones I've seen on YouTube:

I have my temporarily gaming room in my garage, well at least i can play in peace!

Next i´m gonna update the sound system, those tv´s own speakers are so crappy..👎

 

[superbike81]

Mine isn't quite complete yet. But here are the specs and pics:

PC: i7 2600k, 2x GTX560's, 16GB RAM, 2x 120GB SSD drives
Xbox 360 and PS3 that get little use because of iRacing and pCARS.
3x LG 23" monitors
Logitech 5.1 system (cheap one <$100 but works great)
Aura Bass Shaker + 75watt amp ($75 for everything, mounted to the seat rail, works GREAT)
Fanatec CSR
Fanatec CSR Elite Pedals
Thrustmaster TH8 RS Shifter
Derek Speare Button Box
Mini Bluetooth Keyboard/Trackpad
Motorola Xoom or old Galaxy S for the iRaceDash app
Fully self-built wooden cockpit
Faded Sparco bucket seat


To-Do List:

Finish paint and rubber trim work
Finish carpet
Stickers (different game and product logos)
CLEAN UP WIRING (pet peeve)
Replace CSR wheel with CSW
Make two mounts, one for each of he CSW wheels I'll be getting (F1 and GT) on the side of my rig.

Future:

Triple 1080p projectors once they drop into the $600 or so range (probably Black Friday 2012) so I can have no bezels and three 50-60(ish) inch screens.


Primary concern with the build was space, had to fit in our spare room. Once we move back to the US, I might build a new rig, but I'm pretty happy with this one though. It's compact enough to fit through a doorway, is rock solid, and surprisingly light and easy to move (handles and wheels)
