This is how I always envisioned my rig would look. Low profile and with a tight feeling to it's presence. Pretty to look at. Not some aluminum colored oblonged monstrosity. Sick looking rig 👌
Badass rig, very thoughtfully laid out as well. We have a lot of the same hardware but yours is next level. I also have a work desk right next to my rig so there's a lot of tips in this that I will use. Gonna get a streamdeck ASAP I think.
2 years later, have to say this is a lovely thought out Rig man, I also went for the one monitor for PC one for sim rig route its just easier rather than setting up switchers etc.
I'm looking at merging my 1st person shooter setup into both FPS and driving/flying. I'm looking at a bunch of different options at the moment. Ideally I'll have it all at one station with a triple monitor setup, but depending on how uncomforatable the FPS setup is, I might need to do what you have done by setting up 2 seperate stations. Informative video, cheers!
Extremely cool setup!! Quick tip for the screen switching if you haven’t already found a way that works. If you have a stream deck there’s a plug-in called wintools. There’s a button for changing primary displays which will make your sim display primary display and desktop display secondary. Then when you’re done racing/flying you can just press the button again and it switches back.
Yo ur a life saver, I want a new setup and I didn’t know if I could have a kbm setup separately with a raving rig both connected to the same pc, I never knew how to word it into google and UA-cam so I just gave up, eventually I watched this video so thank you so much
Thank you so much for all this good sir! I am currently building my first sim rig, which also happens to be my dream rig. The idea of getting cheap belt driven wheelbases and toyish pedals wasn't appealing to me so straight to DD and all the bells and whistles (RIP wallet) lol. I am having many road blocks and questions currently, especially when it comes to monitors and VR. I have the new HP Reverb G2, I bought it for this purpose, haven't tried it yet but from what I hear it's the most immersive. I need some sort of display to run the system still though, because I have a dedicated sim-rig PC, and I can't decide if I want a cheap display setup or something that I can race on besides VR. Now that I spent all the money I'm also questioning if I shouldn't have just moved around my room setup to be able to use one PC for both main & sim-rig, especially after seeing this..... but the problem is my work/game PC is running 3 monitors, and I also have a TV wired to the GPU so I'm all out of display ports. Would love to hear what you think on these issues, thanks in advance! Also wouldn't mind sharing pictures/videos of the setup over discord if that's a thing you're open to.
this video is a huge help for me i was looking to do the same thing for my room and i am thinking about using very similiar stuff that you are even the same desk so when i came across this is kinda showed me what miune would look somnewhat like in the end which i appreciate very much because i wasnt sure if anyone had done it before and i was wondering if you could measure the wall the desk and sim rig is on and reply with how many inches it was
I have the same kind of setup with one pc and two displays but you don't have to turn the second display off! You can leave both displays on. Is worth the try, saves extra time and handling.
Kinda creepy cool that your setup is so similar to mine as I also have my desktop and simrig in the living room and tried to make it neatly as possible. Same Ikea table top and black wooden drawers on the sides. Dedicated ultrawides, keyboards for desktop and simrig. Similar macro's on button box and stream deck..lol. Your steering wheel and base is cooler tho xD Cheers
Wow, this just popped up in my feed. Well done sir, very nice clean rig. I would love to know what your keyboard tray is and what the fans are above your monitor

This stuff gets me daydreaming what to improve on my rig. Thank you for showing us your beautifull set up rig.

That second screen only tip in windows. Wow. Exactly what i was looking for.
