G'Day Gang,

NEW PARTS
* MONITORS: ($300^) 32" LG Ultragear 32GN50R's.
^Their story was that I initially bought 3 x 2nd hand 34" curved ultrawides for $100 each, but it turned out that they were too big for the area they were going, so I had to sell them, 1st I offered them back to the guy I got them from, so he could on sell them, but he declined, so I stuck them on marketplace and sold all 3 in a few hours for $250 each. The next day, I toddled off to the local computer shop and used the $750 to buy 3 brand new LG's and because I made $400 on the ultrawides, the LG's only owed me $300. Computer Alliance QLD.

Cool looking rig. Inspired by the simul8tor rig i came across online, I built a racing/flying rig out of 40mm pipe, 3 27" screens, Warthog hotas, T150 wheel, TP3A pedals (looking to upgrade) and a GT omega chair.

I would paint the PVC black. That PC in the corner has gotta generate some heat and surely that heat gets trapped and funneled into that space. Must be sweaty. I was preparing for triple monitos got my stand and everything. Then got a quest 3 and now I'm getting rid of all of my displays and external stuff that's not necessary. I will stick to VR. Relocating soon and I will rebuild a slim sexy rig that doesn't take up a room like my existing rig. The depth perception in VR is well worth the reduction in FOV.

Fair call. I have run VR before and personally, I prefer the triple screen setup only because I could access buttons better 😂
VR is awesome though.
As for PC heat, I've had no issues so far, but it is winter here at the moment 😊
