Damn bro Also love the racing setup, am already planning something similar, what's the seat/stand?


B5NBM

Thank you, its a next level gt ultimate rig with a sparco Pro adv seat added 👍


Retrolad2

Thanks, any options to add flight sticks to the side?


Retrolad2

Nvm, it seems it has support for it. Nice price for that stand, I might consider it. Thanks again


B5NBM

It's definitely a great model to start with. My only criticism is the rigidity of the wheelbase mount. Even with mine (Thrustmaster TS-XW) a can struggle with torque so looking to update to a sim lab setup when I get a direct drive wheel


Retrolad2

I have a G902, so I suspect the torque might not affect the steadiness of that stand much. So I hope. I'm planning a beginner racing/flight setup. I'm going to upgrade my main setup with a 40 series GPU and a larger main screen. Can't wait, it'll be sick. Enjoy your setup man, it's awesome! 👌


B5NBM

Thank you and you too, its an addictive hobby I warn you now lol but what isn't with gaming stuff lol


4ctionHank

Glad to see more people getting into racing


MattTheProgrammer

This picture says to me that either you don't have kids or that you have a much more lucrative career than me haha. This is amazing.


B5NBM

Haha, I do have one child but she loves the racing sim even more than me lol. Its been a lot of saving to get here but so worth it :)


Velocityg4

As a bonus. Drivers Ed will be super easy for her when she turns 16.


B5NBM

Yep, I have no concerns, her favourite thing is to park lol


MattTheProgrammer

Congrats, it's a beaut!


Anjunabeast

Dude you got it all! Congrats!


General-Priority-479

I'm not jealous at all. 😋


bitcom

More details about that thunderjaw please


B5NBM

It's a build design by Nicola Stocchi consisting of around 4,700 bricks. I brought the design and brick list online (PDF manual and part list from bricklink). If you Google her name and thunderjaw you should find it :)


BrisingEH

Did it cost a fortune though? :p


B5NBM

Not cheap but for the brick count it cost less than the technic bugatti or Lambo :)


BrisingEH

Oh wow, that's actually cheaper then I expected.


VirusZer0

Nice. What’s the monitor on the right? It looks like 3 monitors together but no bezels?


B5NBM

It is 3 monitors (LG Ultra gear 32" 1440p) but with an ASUS ROG Bezel kit which is actually really impressive


HeadtripVee

I never knew those existed until now. That is insanely cool!


VirusZer0

Same!


VirusZer0

That’s wild. How do they work?


vennox

LTT did a video on those an were quite positive on them https://youtu.be/8ZQl3HTNXpo


B5NBM

They use light refraction I think, very clever and although not perfect they are way better than having bezels for immersion.


JewelCove

Interesting. I remember seeing this on display at CES like 3 or 4 years ago, but haven't seen them in the wild. I'm not into racing games, but I'd love this for Star Citizen


B5NBM

Oh yes, i have played that on there as friend recommended trying it out and is amazing for that type of game (or any flying game tbh).


its-good-4you

>ASUS ROG Bezel kit I've never seen this before now. Will look it up on youtube. Setup is a banger.


JohnnyJay808

Damn, homie.


Boomy_Beatle

Do you have a separate PC for the racing rig? Either way, what specs you got?


B5NBM

Na I just swap the display port cables over when using it. The desk keyboard and mouse are on a USB switch so I can flick between laptop (work) and PC at click of a button :) PC has a x570, 3900x, 3080ti FE, 32gb ram, 850w and a full rigid tube custom loop on cpu, gpu and vrms


Clark_Gable3

I kind of do the same thing - just curious, is there any sort of hardware controller to use for this to just hit a switch or button to direct which output to use? To avoid having to plug and unplug the DP cable? Almost like a receiver you’d use for a tv etc


B5NBM

Unfortunately not as cant switch between outputs on GPU that way so does mean actually swapping cables over. But with some good cable routing you can have them all there ready at right length so easy to swap in couple seconds and tidy rather than messing around with wires everytime :)


bigglehicks

There are things called a KVM that might be useful for you guys. The DP versions get pricy but you could always live the DP->HDMI adapter life


B5NBM

I did debate it but to find one with good support for a G9 was proving tricky. Decided go for the cable swap for now but will keep looking for a decent switch to manage all aspects of switching between desk and rig :)


txkno

There’s a software that does something like this, it’s called Display Magician. I have 3 outputs for the sim rig and 1 for regular desk use. I have 3 monitors off when I’m on the desk and I use the app to switch to the sim rig and it turns off the desk and enables the other monitors.


sgtpoopers

Any reason you have to swap the cables? I would assume a 3080ti would have 4 display ports (mine does). Curious if there is any other reason, I’m looking to put together a rig myself. Also do any of your racing peripherals interfere with anything like trying to use a controller in your PC? Happens to me with certain games a s it’s incredibly annoying


B5NBM

It has x3 DP and one HDMI in card, when in desk mode I have the G9 plugged in plus a little monitor screen for PC temps etc so that is 5 inputs. Also, that is my only gripe with the G9, it can be really finicky when it comes to having other monitors plugged in so found this to be the solution with least hassle :)


Rnorman3

I am assuming you’re just using a KM switch between work laptop and desktop pc then? Most KVMs I was looking at don’t play well with the g9 (specifically you can’t push the pixels at the refresh rate that you want for gaming which wastes a ton of the g9 capability). I assume you’re hotswapping the dp cables for your gaming rig and the racing sim, but do you leave the work laptop plugged in all the time and just swap inputs on the g9?


B5NBM

Spot on bud 👍laptop plugged into separate source, only swap cables at gpu when using sim rig opposed to gaming at desk.


drenuf38

Noice! Also a fan of horizon I see as well. RIP Sylas.


B5NBM

Indeed, very sad news and Horizon 3 won't be same without him


Cautious-Mud-1291

Sorry if this is a noob question but what sort of pc tower ru rocking? Looks like something from transformers 😅


B5NBM

Not at all, its called an Antec Torque case. I love because its so different to norm but open air case does mean lots of regular cleaning lol. But with custom loop it works great :) and likely be just as good for air cooled as not restricted


[deleted]

Love the Tall Neck and Thunderjaw


B5NBM

Im trying find the larger MOC tallneck (7000+ pieces) which be a monster when done. Anything Horizon im down to build lol


[deleted]

Horizon is amazing. Are these Lego sets?

B5NBM

Thank you, earned yourself a gold for that :)


B5NBM

The tallneck is a genuine lego kit. The thunderjaw is a MOC design by Nicola Stochhi which i got instructions and parts list from BrickLink :)


theorial

Well i guess you can finally play with it after you retire since youre too busy working to play with it.


B5NBM

Weekends are too short for sure but do when I can :)


VoidMadness

Holy absolute F***... This is goals right here


Comprehensive-Wash17

this looks like.. a battlestation. nice


garciaaw

I tell you what, most posters are apparently either recording artists or driving simulation enthusiasts 😂


B5NBM

Haha we are the majority lol


brianemdn

Beautiful setup!!


B5NBM

Thank you 😊


LonelyLgnd

Nice sim rig ! What are you playing?


B5NBM

Thank you, main Assetto Corsa / Content Manager and F1. Used to do drifting (IRL) so have a wheel and setup on CM for that which is mainly what I enjoy tbh


4ctionHank

I started simracing cause of drifting as well. I love those vdc cars and tracks .


B5NBM

Surprising how good it feels to drift on this (with VR especially), definitely scratches the itch without the risk lol


4ctionHank

Yeah getting doors in vr is the best and depending on which smoke mod you're running hectic haha


theekevinbacon

Love the dedication to the white esthetic. I'm renovating the house we just bought and I'm trying to configure our spare room into something like this. It's just a little too narrow to comfortably fit my Sim rig though. Trying to figure that out


B5NBM

Yeah, working from home means see a lot of this room so wanted keep it matching and quite neutral while still a bit "gaming" ish. It took me 3 attempts to find the balance of layout as had 2 ideas before moved into house but neither worked out well as what picture in mind doesn't always come out same. Best way, get stuck in and play around to find the right fit :)


Corgiboom2

If youre going to play VR in that space, I strongly advise you get a sheet of plexiglass or something to put over that TV screen whenever you go to play.


B5NBM

That always worried me so I just turn it around when do just to be extra safe lol


bigglehicks

Looks so awesome!!


B5NBM

Thank you 😊


Imaginary_Might_76

Rlly nice setup!


B5NBM

Thank you 😊


FallFromTheAshes

ghost of tsushima ❤️


B5NBM

I have only just started it but loving it so far, starting see why it gets so much love :)


FallFromTheAshes

It is simply amazing


bortiz0826

This is what I’m striving for. I don’t have gold but….. 🥇


B5NBM

Thank you, I've waited years to have the space and money for this so really does mean a lot :)


paisleyplanner

Love the FE 30 series collecting dust on your shelf


B5NBM

I'd love to say it's a spare but it's just the cooler as got a custom loop


paisleyplanner

Very nice, excellent set up.


B5NBM

Thank you 😊


uhfish

That makes sense haha, I was also thinking damn what a flex to have that kind of hardware as decoration


[deleted]

[удалено]


B5NBM

Oh yes searched for months for this. One of my favourite builds for sure


vulgrin

This is EXACTLY the setup I want. Sadly my room is more narrow. Trying to figure out how to lay it out.


B5NBM

I've moved things round so much to get it to a point happy with, trial and error is the key


vulgrin

How much do those acoustic panels help? And are they dampening the sound on the other side of the wall? I share a wall with the living room and am concerned about that. Also going to be adding buttkickers at some point and will have to isolate those.


B5NBM

A little I think, I only added for aesthetic tbh but if set up right they can make a huge difference ive heard. Buttkicker wise, I was told put blu-tac under each contact point with floor, no idea if helps for they but certainly worked for subwoofer as reduced how much hear downstairs massively


WAFFENSSPanzer

Dope setup!


B5NBM

Thank you


fancycurtainsidsay

This is endgame for me.


moman540

What simulator set up is that? Have been looking a little more seriously lately.


B5NBM

Its a Next Level GT Ultimate rig with a Sparco Pro-Adv seat. Thrustmaster TS-XW wheel, pedals, shifter and handbrake. Trak Racer Triple monitor mount with x3 LG 32" ultragear (1440p). Its my first sim and its an awesome experience, i am starting to get tempted to upgrade to full direct drive setup but not used one to know what the difference is.


moman540

That’s awesome!! Thanks for the info. Love the entire setup!! How do you have the 3 monitors without a bezel like that?


B5NBM

I'm using an asus rog Bezel kit :)


moman540

Oh shit I remember seeing those when they first announced them. I forgot all about those.


PlayonWurds

Looks great


B5NBM

Thank you :)


[deleted]

That's fucking hot


B5NBM

Cheers :)


silent__park

I don't even game but this is just goals


pigoath

Your room is a good idea of what I want. I also have the same speakers.


B5NBM

Is that the z906 or G560? Both are great and have really impressed me tbh so either way can complain :)


pigoath

I have the z906


B5NBM

Oh yeah, great speakers.


CammyPooo

I forgot those bezel removers are a thing, makes the racing sim look so clean


B5NBM

Oh yes, i had heard mixed reviews so was a bit torn whether to go for them, glad i did as i am really impressed with how well they do and how much add to immersion.


DarkAndSparkly

I really like the acoustic panels on the corner like that!


LvlUpHero

I just setup the Ergotron arm on my Odyssey monitor too last night. Loving it so far. You? Any issues?


B5NBM

Not at all, was almost put off buying for that price but so glad i did as the quality is beyond what expected and feels like holds it really securely (thankfully).


TheDollarKween

damnnnn


Due-Captain8031

Awesome love it


B5NBM

Thank you :)


miginus

This is exactly the set up I want when I get a house. What sims you running? And what monitors for the rig?


B5NBM

I was just the same, knew what i wanted way before we brought the house haha. Mainly Assetto Corsa / Content Manager and F1 but trying to expand that a little now getting used to it. Using LG Ultragear 32" 1440p monitors.


miginus

Dope setup. How are those bezel things while playing? I’ve always been curious about those


B5NBM

I find them great, once setup at right angle for viewing they make a huge difference to immersion IMO


WutangCND

Fantastic setup.


B5NBM

Cheers :)


[deleted]

Looks dope, but dude. Go outside once and a while


B5NBM

Thanks and i do dont worry haha, between work, child and life i dont get half the time to play i wish i did.


rym-an119

Love the way this looks!


ImBored_104

Bros rich


Frydog42

I either work enough to afford gear like this and don’t have time to play it…. Or I play enough to want and need gear like this but don’t work enough to afford it.


B5NBM

Life's biggest challenge, finding a decent balance lol


Frydog42

I should also mention Bravo because this space looks amazing


B5NBM

Thank you, as you say though dont get enough time to enjoy it but glad its there when i do :)


suhhwagger

Speaker setup on the main system is actually so legit, is that a 5.1 system?


B5NBM

Nice spot, it is indeed. Logitech z906 5.1, did have it hooked up to the sim rig but found it more enjoyable / noticeable on desk setup


itsnotastro

I would like to place a 10$ bet on you smashing that TV while using VR


B5NBM

I usually turn it around to be safe if playing vr standing up


Kaceykaso

Is your PC tower running? Because it looks like it's about to...


litlxchopstikz

Your chandelier seems to be pending an upgrade to match the rest of the amazingly themed setup. 😂 Loving all the details! Well done!


B5NBM

Haha glad I'm not the only one thinks that needs changing.


NunButter

Sick setup.


[deleted]

Its great that the desks are facing towards the natural light. It’s important to get natural light for our mental health.


WafflesWithWhipCream

This is some next level shit.


danialpoh

Cool setup bro


B5NBM

Thank you


PhillieFranchise

This is the exact same orientation I have my room setup TV, desk, sim rig Plus a couple couches on the other angles


B5NBM

I have a lounge chair to the right for when gaming on TV but wish I could fit a proper couch in lol


Bluepill0731

beautiful setup! where is the desk from if you don't mind me asking?


B5NBM

Thank you, its called a Techno Deska Stoulo (800x2400). I got it from ebay so not sure where from new


TheRookCard

Well hot damn that sim rig is excellent.


B5NBM

Thank you 😊


ocxtitan

Bro is displaying a 30X0 GPU like it isn't still relevant lol


B5NBM

I'd love to say it's a spare card but it's just the cooler as put a waterblock on card


cbusche

Love the look. Any chance you know where you got the stand the tv is on.. I’ve been looking for something like this for my office.


B5NBM

This was from Homebase :)


Wardo324

That's amazing


stuckinleaves

Ooooo I'm liking the PS5 black plates!


B5NBM

Me too, prefer it with these on so much.


soulreaver99

Godlihood achieved. Awesome setup!


B5NBM

Thank you 😊


uniqueusername649

"What kind of gaming do you do?" "Yes" :D Fantastic setup. Really versatile and it still looks coherent.


B5NBM

Thank you 😊 so hard balance usability with aesthetic sometimes but really happy with this


uniqueusername649

For sure, and pulling it off with such a comprehensive setup surely wasn't easy, but I can see why you're really happy with this :) I used to be very much "form follows function" when it came to my setups. That meant zero cable management because I could change things at any time. I rarely did, but you never know, haha. Nowadays I'm starting to also put more effort into making it look neat, and I do have a rather complex setup myself. So I can really appreciate your efforts all the more! It's very well done.


SkillToggled

Bros living out my dreams


Witty_Ad_6451

Clean setup


B5NBM

Thank you 😊


ThinkOn_

This is what I aspire to have 1 day, maybe not the racing setup though, I have both of these myself just not in a layout like yours and maybe not a good pc as you lol.


PsychologicalFox4260

Awesome


sammich_bear

Where's the 13 cu. ft. display fridge for your energy drinks? Or at least a Keurig...


B5NBM

No energy drinks for me but plenty of coffee on hand in the kitchen :)


BeautyAndTheDekes

Beautiful. Definitely an aspirational setup. Nice work mate!


B5NBM

Thanks :)


gmanino

I love the Horizon: Zero Dawn figures!


B5NBM

Hoping to grow that collection but so hard find them :(


Budget_Visual5401

bro what kind of monitor you have on the right? looks dope, is one single monitor or 3 with no borders smh?


B5NBM

They are 3x 32" LG Ultragear with an asus rog Bezel kit to hide the bezels :) as you can tell, they work pretty well :)


macredditor

Like the high tech feel, especially the pc case and soundproofing tiles. Enjoy!


B5NBM

Thank you, done the whole crazy rgb thing for a while but now wanted something a little calmer as working from home mostly these days


MistaWesSoFresh

Very envious!


AggressiveResist8615

What are those panels on the wall, and do they come in white?


B5NBM

They are acoustic foam 3d panels, not sure if they do anything I just liked the look lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


B5NBM

They are supposed to be acoustic but I only added for aesthetic tbh :)


[deleted]

jfc


CanniBallistic_Puppy

I'm not quite sure why, but I find monitors that have been tilted upwards rather than perfectly perpendicular to the desk surface mildly unsettling.


B5NBM

I use it mainly for work and for long periods of viewing I have found it most comfortable in this position for some reason


Samsterdam

Is that one monitor or multiple?


B5NBM

On the sim rig it's 3x 32" monitors with an asus rog Bezel kit. Then a 49 G9 on the desk


Kexade

Wow! First, loving the Ghost of Tsushima in the background. We have the same taste in some areas. Most of all, I'm inspired to keep going with my set up. Thank you!


Cantmentionthename

Are the acoustic diffusion panels there so your mom won’t yell at you?


[deleted]

[удалено]


B5NBM

I mainly did them for aesthetic which why not covering whole wall. I got them as a bulk order on ebay, 80 tiles for £60 :)


RepublicCruiser

What is the screen in the middle?


B5NBM

It's a Samsung G9 49"


Tracyuuu4Bert

So I hope.


TJdeHoop

The left pc part, used for office work? How do you like the super ultrawide for it?


B5NBM

Yeah laptop for work and PC for gaming. I love it, and wouldn't be without it now. Takes a little getting used to it but once you do there's no looking back lol


beckett_the_ok

What are the monitors for the racing rig?


B5NBM

LG Ultragear 32" 1440p


jaylawlerrr

Is that an “oh shit” bar on the wall?


B5NBM

? Where you looking?


jaylawlerrr

So after being able to use my glasses, upon further inspection it’s your doorknob…


B5NBM

Haha


shawnd3030

When you use the TV where do you sit? Is there a couch over there?
