id realy like to see your setup with iracing, my offer is still up, i pay you one month for some pictures :D

iracing has probably the best multi screen support of all racing games, with build in bezel managment, fov calculator (up to 179°) and the option to render every screen separately.

I'll try out iracing too. If not this weekend, next weekend. I got the Fanatec Turbo S wheel with Clubsport pedals for xmas (Although it didn't arrive till late January).

A slight delay on pics. The card for my digital camera flaked out on me. I need to buy a new XD card for my Fujifilm digital. Sorta sucks because I had some photos on that card I'd not downloaded yet.

Burnout Paradise
Counter Strike Source
Titan Quest


I just confirmed they work without any tweaks and NTHUSIM+ injects just fine for the projection prewarping. Definitely expect a flood of pics this weekend now that I have my new xD card for the camera. :rockout

I just wish I had one of those Flip HD flash camcorders. I'm using the crappy video setting on my 4 year old digital camera. The sound on it is horrid and it doesn't do low light all that well. It sorta gets the idea across what it looks like to play on though.

The build is still very much a work in progress. I've got to still black out the air ducting in the ceiling and put up a ceiling panel. I've yet to finish the walls in the back. I need to get some brackets to mount the 5.1 home theater speakers around the edges of the ceiling. I also plan on waterjet cutting a custom tech bench for the computer in the machien shop. I also spent yesterday touching up the black paint on the cement floor and hand scrubbing the floor. It was getting pretty dirty from high traffic.

Oops, the center projector was a bit out of focus on those pics. Oh well, they still look cool IMHO. :wink:

Because I've had the Yamaha 5.1 home theater system for awhile now and saw no real need to upgrade it yet. I'd rather spend the money on games and finishing up the rest of the room. My projects are all on a budget. :wink:
