    Got my self a rinoseat the other day and I just love it, makes the games (and my back) more fun.

    Anyone else got a cockpit or racing seat? Would be cool to share some pictures. Ill try and get some later on today or tomorrow.

    keep up the speed

    Im tempted but herself already thinks im insane.
    The rhinoseat looks nice,obutto also looks nice.
    Im not into the huge cockpits some have but the rhino and obutto seem like they may suit me.
    Meanwhile im happy with my current setup.

    I built one myself too.I used PVC pipes+a cheap Corbeau bucket seat.
    It's nothing fancy,but it does the job :) I'm playing FPS games too,so the keyboard+mouse is slides out of the way.I had to bolt the G25 pedals to the "cockpit's" floor after I installed the Nixim brake mod :D
    I picked up this littel beauty for my G25:

    Btw I have a dirt cheap reclining bucket seat for sale if anyone wants to build a cockpit ;)

    My stupid digi cam broke when I was going to take pictures.

    Will get that sorted during the weekend I hope.

    Gibbon, I have looked at that one loads of times and been thinking about getting one. How much you pay for it?

    Originally I was going to put a playseat or whatnot in the (yet to be built) cinema in the basement, instead, I think ill just pop it and a projector in the attic.

    Ill post pics when this happens, probably in three years time LOL.

    The game I play though, Trackmania, has loops and wall rides so not sure how it would handle those :)
