For Christmas Rose is going to get me a racing wheel.  Going  for the Fanatec Porsche 911 Turbo wheel, it’s pretty much awesome with great force feedback even in the pedals, and a 6 speed shifter (very important to me!  What’s the point of a driving sim if it doesn’t feel like you’re driving?)  Anyways I also wanted to build a computer gaming chair / racing sim.  So this is the concept I’ve come up with!  PVC pipe will help me keep the cost down, I’m going to get a PVC welder / bender so that I can make it super strong and get the curves I want.  The two light blue sides I want to make out of one piece as with the two green ones on the bottom.   Also plan on mounting a 5.1 surround sound setup on here… I’ll post again when I have the full picture.  Still working on learning some 3D design things so this is pretty basic, but I’ll get a concept up with the seat and mock up wheel, keyboard, computer, speakers, seat, etc.
