Performed Mods:

I lined most of the inside of the case with plexiglass mirrors. Sleeved some cables with split loom. Added an extra fan between the PSU and DVD writers to act as a blow hole. Finally i rigged up some 12v LED lights to the case and mounted them along the wall behiend the desk

I recently purchased a 37 inch widescreen display and a new Logitech G25 which makes for an amazing racing experience. As for the computer itself, it is still the same rig i posted before just relocated to my new temporary home (Collage Rez.)

Very nice! gotta love that g25 and its h-shifter...

Completely Bonkers

Very nice rig. Super tidy cable management. Your VDUs are insane. Crazy man! :)

P.S. Please retake photo of primary. Shoot at small angle to get rid of flash.. then photoshop to square it again using perspective edit.

that looks like so much fun

Nice, in what res you run your 37" on?

Whilhelm

It only runs at 1360x768 1080i but it dosent look bad with AA and AF cranked. For what it cost I can't complain since it looks a lot better then i was expecting.

n-sanity

Lol an x850 wouldnt handle anything above 1080i... im surprised its handling that with full aa/af... did you try carbon on that :D? Hehe i'd love to go into a curve with full nitrous for a 40000point drift on a 36" screen "drool".

What racing games do you recommend?...im guessing youd be the guy to ask?
Thats a really fast rig im giving it a 8/10

Whilhelm

GTR2 and GTL are my current favorites, also rFactor, Nascar Racing 2003, Live for Speed, Richard Burns Rally and Grand Prix Legends are really good aswell. The game I am playing in the screenshot is GTL and it is really sweet.

I give you the nobel Prize 10. You have a racers dream setup there and a nice clean looking rig.
