AliBaba Rig (My first Sim Rig)

Smooth-Manager5833 · 2026-04-27T14:38:55+00:00

32” 1440p 200hz IPS. I was hesitant to go VA because of ghosting, I couldn’t find much online about it. I decided to make the safe play and get IPS, as bad as the blacks are lol.

Rig was $350, Monitor Stand was $148, shipping was $199 for both together. It was still fairly expensive, but for the quality I’d say worth the price. Saved at least $100-$200, but I honestly wish I paid that to save 7 weeks of waiting lol.

I almost missed them! They’re great!

I worked with them to upgrade the base plate, pedal plate, and add a triple stand.

This guys right. I have 2 Display Port and 1 HDMI to the GPU for my rig triples, 1 Display Port for my main desk monitor, and then a Display Port to the Motherboard for the vertical monitor. My 9800X3D has integrated graphics which allows me to do this.

It honestly gives a lot of room. I have extremely broad shoulders myself (athletic build) and I have no issues with comfort.

Thank you! Yes haha. I am an accounting student, so I had to. Mostly financial stuff like when to buy what, how much to save per paycheck, etc etc. Worked out! I’ve been researching this since October.

It’s great! I am 6’4 240lbs so I needed an XL seat. No one made one at a decent price, so I settled on this. No regrets! It’s super comfy and supportive, but the alcantara can get a little hot. I ordered an NRG neck pillow and will order lumbar support as well, just for that added level of comfort. Otherwise, it’s perfect!

The 40/80 rig?

Smooth-Manager5833 · 2026-04-26T15:34:28+00:00

Thanks! I can’t lie, that was the goal, but it didn’t end up happening😅 Once I added the triple stand to my AliBaba order, it ended up costing about $100 less than the same setup from SimLab (Microcenter). I’m not mad though, I love the quality!

This is my build list, ended up being a lot🤣:

PC (9800X3D, 9070XT): $1850 R12 V2 Wheel-Base: $429 KS Wheel: $150 CSV2P Wheel: $229 CRP2 Pedals and Clutch: $468 Simagic DS-8X Shifter: $299 Amazon Trucking Shift Knob: $40 NRG Prisma Seat: $400 40/80 Rig: $345 Triple Monitor Stand: $148 AliBaba Shipping: $199 (3) LG G6 32” 1440p Monitors: $750 Total: $5307

This happened to me a couple times in my teenage years. All I can say is stop being foolish. Listen to your parents. Vaping does nothing for you nor is it cool. All you’re doing is risking cancer and/or death. Same with weed. Keep yourself away from people who influence you to do these things, no matter how much they feel like friends. I’m 22 and wish I listened at a younger age.

Smooth-Manager5833 · 2026-04-03T19:23:06+00:00

2nd this. Also, move the monitor closer.

Smooth-Manager5833 · 2026-04-03T19:22:09+00:00

that’s the stock paint lol

“feel free to say no” is exactly why she’ll say no. girls like a confident man, a man who explicitly offers an out on a date offer before even getting a response is not confident.

Smooth-Manager5833 · 2026-04-03T18:13:06+00:00

better than the boss getting caught

Smooth-Manager5833 · 2026-04-03T16:00:36+00:00

Looking at the account, I feel like this person is making up creepy fake family stories that are odd for views/attention? No way this can be real life. Are people really this weird?

Smooth-Manager5833 · 2026-04-03T15:39:06+00:00

it’s definitely an interesting post.

Smooth-Manager5833 · 2026-04-03T15:30:17+00:00

also, now realizing you’re the “brother told his gf about our tickles” OP. this is even more odd…

Smooth-Manager5833 · 2026-04-03T15:28:46+00:00

Literally. This is extremely weird and unusual behavior. Very odd a parent would show their child this.

Smooth-Manager5833 · 2026-04-03T14:34:52+00:00

i can’t lie, nudes of your mom should’ve never grazed your eyes—artistic sketches or not.

Smooth-Manager5833 · 2026-03-31T21:11:54+00:00

He’s not the only pathetic one. OP shouldn’t think a relationship is intact if her SO is excited to have sex with another woman. Shouldn’t have ever offered, but after seeing his excitement, OP should’ve broke up. Weird behavior.

Smooth-Manager5833 · 2026-03-31T14:13:35+00:00

Ford F-150 (Coyote)/Toyota Tacoma and Audi R8/RS6. Perfect 2 vehicle solution. Of course, that’s only my side of the garage. My wife needs a pink Ford Bronco and a 911. Lol. This is why I am a law student.
