    This is genius. I hate having to move everything around or running super long cables across the room. But the monitors were always too far away. This ia very well done

    nice job bud, it works for you and your space, and that's the main thing. i like the idea for the triple mount, i'm using a projector at the minute, but i think i fancy triples for the emersion when money permits. enjoy, and stay safe.

    I made an even more basic wooden rig with the leather seat out my s14 200sx but bolted it on so I can adjust the seat forward and back with the normal seat rail. Your Monitor stand idea seems decent! I currently have mine sat on the desk kind of like yours is before you move it into position but I think I am too far away when set up, I have a video drifting in Assetto if you want to take a look. Good video, thanks for sharing!

    Good job! I am busy building something similar as I too prefer to have my triple monitors on a desk. Great idea to have your monitors slide. Liked and subscribed.

    Excellent job 👍🏼 I built something very similar but using 2 x 6s and I made reverse supports for the diagonals. I used 4” and 1” wood screws and glue. It can handle a DD2 at 100% and still solid as a rock. The under downside is the weight. It’s on Reddit if you ever wanna take a look. There is still people that can’t believe a wood rig can withstand a DD without flex.

    • @Kevinbaconator_
      @Kevinbaconator_  2 роки тому +2

      I'll have to check it out. Been wanting a DD but was hesitant. Nothing like dropping 1k on a wheel base, to find out you need another 1k for the rig.

    Small correction: that's NOT plywood - it's OSB (Oriented Strand Board), which isn't as strong as plywood.

    im trying to figure out how to do a similar monitor setup to move my triple screens closer to my sim, I might mount a telescoping tv stand to my wall and mount my triple screen mount to that somehow

    • @Kevinbaconator_

      Not a bad idea. Would just keep an eye on the weight recommendations for the mount

    After watching this video, I love to try out to make mine soon.
    It's been an year for being uploaded though,
    I'd like to hear your wood rig and triple monitor stand is still good to use so far.
    I hope mine would last over 2 or 3 years. What do you think?

    • @Kevinbaconator_
      @Kevinbaconator_  2 роки тому

      So I actually upgraded to a standalone triple monitor stand after using this for about a year.
      It held up just fine for the first year, but I can't vouch for 2-3 years.
      My current DIY stand is going extremely strong. I have another video showing that off if you're interested.

    • @Kevinbaconator_
      @Kevinbaconator_  Рік тому

      i'd say any stand will do. then you can just build a small frame out of 2x4s with wheels to move it around on, and adjust the height to your desk. The stand is also custom.
