It was definitely not cheap. But I have a nice bonus coming next month that will take care of most of it, I'm a few months ahead on the mortgage, that's why I said to hell with it.
Although I'm questioning myself on the ultrawides now, I may send them back and just get 32" 2560x1440 monitors.
And I sold the NC so I don't even have a car at the moment. The lady and I are both working from home permanently so it works out nicely for me to this rig built and then get some saved up for whatever I end up with next.

I used a friend of mines 34" LG ultrawide to race for a bit. It was a lot of fun and i didn't see the need for any more monitors.
I wish VR didn't go down the path it did.

My previous setup years ago was 3x27" 1080p monitors sitting on 6' foldable picnic table. No way I could do just one. Not even the 49" Ultrawides...........you just don't get the right FOV without having something in the peripheral.
So this time I'm doing it right, will do the proper FOV calculations and all that stuff.

So i'll be getting an Oculus Quest 2. Goal is racing games like Assetto Corsa and Project cars 2. maybe some rally but i'm very **** at rally.
For starters i'll be using a rig made of wood but eventually i plan on making it with extruded metal. hopefully the 5nM Fanatec DD wheel releases soon. Currently i'm using a g25 with bunch of mods.

Which stand is that? For now i'm looking at the stands that have only support that goes straight ahead of you without the side supports. I dont have much room so if i can store it close to the wall it would be very good. As i said i'll be using VR for display.
Basically a stand similar to this design but with chair and not **** flexible.

Until i figure out a mount, i'm hooking up the wheel to my desk.. i just spent close to 4 hours on assetto corsa in VR.. didnt even realize it. It drives incredible. Quest 2 is 330 after tax and you need another 20 bucks cable to hook it up to the computer.. Man o man

I'm starting to get used to the VR headset.. an hour every day or every other day and in no time you'll be in there racing for 3-4 hours... man this is so worth the 300 bucks.(330 after taxes)
Today I spent 4 hours in VR.. not feeling sick at all.
