Hey guys, I asked this earlier in the thread but now that it seems like we have a lot of obutto owners here I'd like to ask again.
Can anyone with the desk attachment comment on how this cockpit would work as a full time computer desk/workstation.
I only have a small place so I can't really have a cockpit and a computer desk, it's just redundant because I do most of my racing on PC, plus I usually share my monitors for my PC and consoles.
I just want to know if the obutto can be an all in one solution for a person like me?
Everything will depend on how much desk space you need. If your needs are modest (i.e. keyboard, mouse, and beverage space), it will probably work perfectly even if you hard mount your wheel (which I did). With the wheel on, you're left with about enough space for a mouse mat on either side.
If you have enough room to use it, the included keyboard tray is fantastic. It's huge, and makes a great sturdy second platform. It requires quite a bit of space because of the wide arc for it to swing around though.
If you need more desk space then that, you're forced to use your wheel's clamps and get a little creative about mounting the desk accessory. For your information, the metal steering wheel platform is not really Fanatec clamp friendly because of the bar that's welded underneath, so you'll have to mount the desk accessory far enough towards you to clear it so the clamp can work properly.
By the way, fastening your desk accessory to your steering wheel platform is purely a do-it-yourself affair. If you're hard mounting your wheel it's just a matter of drilling holes for the wheel and you're done, if you're not, then you have to decide if you're using screws (not sure how crazy you are about screw heads on top of your desk surface), or some kind of epoxy. Industrial strength velcro would probably work too, but my steering wheel platform came slightly bent, so this wouldn't have been a secure option for me.
In summary, if you're needs are modest, it'll work out great. If you need more space it could still work, but it gets a little more complicated.
Note to Chris: I love everything about the cockpit except for the pedal tray; even at it's lowest, it's a little too steep for CSPs, and you can't move it forward past the crossbar. A flat tray welded to the bottom would have been perfect for me (I have it resting, not fastened, to the very bottom bar of the LCD stand. This is working for me at the moment). One more thing, the gearshift platform is way too high. I took a chopsaw to the end of the first tube going down from the platform and it's at the perfect height now (note: I'm using the x-cpo shifter mount).
I spend around 10-12hrs a day in my cockpit working & killing, with some days spent racing or flying too. Someone would have to pay me alotta dough to go back to using a computer from a desk LOL!!
