A few years ago had some help when we choose our Sim components.
We just repositioned it and reconnected it yesterday so haven't had time to bundle up the messy cables.
Next I'd like to get some black out curtains placed behind the screens.
Mine is connected to iracing, where I can find many of the real tracks I race on.
It's a big help to get in 400 laps the week before a race at Streets of Long Beach, Laguna Seca or California Speedway.
I found I can use a newer sim car (C7 Daytona) but limit myself to 3 gears and short shifting creates similar shift points and lap times as my real race car.
Like you went with a similar largest at the time air-cooled Alienware computer.
Very happy with the Direct drive Accuforce wheel.

For the rig the RSeat N1, solid and looks like a race car round tube roll cage.
I say it's my only race car that I let anybody drive lol.
Across the room from the sim is a 4 lane HO slot car track on a ping pong table.

Car guy stuff to mess with on a cold wet winter day.
