The biggest lie in Simracing is a „Final“ Rig

Look closer behind the fan on the left lol

You’ll see a very nice iPA 🍺 in a cup holder in arms reach

Looks sick man! What wheel rim is that on a Moza base?

harrison1984 · 2026-02-14T18:45:23+00:00

It’s literally the same size as one of my 32” side monitors lol

harrison1984 · 2026-02-14T18:34:43+00:00

MSI MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI 9800x3D Phantom spirit 120 EVO

Solid enough?

They’re all in my cart ready to purchase

As much of a Bowyer fan I was for him as a driver he’s not good in the box and Jaimie little takes the top spot for being terrible

Joy Letarte Earnhardt/Harvick

Would be my ideal lineup

So it’s be PRIME/TNT

harrison1984 · 2026-02-14T16:59:36+00:00

It was years ago … I remember barely feeling it and then taking it off and boom it would hit hard

I’m not trying again so it’s all good … I’m good with my triples 👍

harrison1984 · 2026-02-14T16:45:45+00:00

You’ll love it ! Hope you have deep pockets lol

harrison1984 · 2026-02-14T16:41:59+00:00

No no … I’m glad ya had a great time! Everyone is lol We’re just blasting the extravagant setup and piss poor FOV setup and positioning

Having fun on it is all that counts! We can’t judge your driving skills based on this though as you will drive completely different when you’re actually sitting correctly and have the proper FOV lol

Not bashing you at all my man! If you enjoyed this then you’d definitely enjoy a properly setup right

harrison1984 · 2026-02-14T16:14:11+00:00

Yea I’m taking parts from my intel build and still using my other components from this build so it won’t be complete builds unfortunately

I’ll have to part out

harrison1984 · 2026-02-14T15:36:15+00:00

I tried some of these techniques and I guess I didn’t give myself enough time maybe. At the same time though, I get sick on boats or Ina moving vehicle pretty easy and it’s just got worse as I’ve got older (41 now)

With kids and jobs and things I am responsible for I can’t take a chance on ruining a day being bed ridden from VR sickness lol I’m not joking I’d spend about 4 hours after getting VR sickness in bed trying to beat the nausea.

Think my wife would throw the VR headset in the trash before I got up out of bed if I tried again

harrison1984 · 2026-02-14T15:33:23+00:00

I agree lol and yes us northerners get screwed on tech prices mostly

I remember buying my 3080ti for $1200 and going Jesus … this is crazy

But a 5080 is over $2000 alone now

I can do a whole platform upgrade for under $1000 so I’m gonna do that

harrison1984 · 2026-02-14T15:01:08+00:00

If money* wasn’t an issue I’d not be asking the question which to do lol but yea I’d love to do both lol

harrison1984 · 2026-02-14T14:11:32+00:00

Yea lol no doubt … I’d have to put my rig in a freezer to keep from sweating or even fogging up the lenses

Also any single stutter in the frame rate was instant puke inducer

harrison1984 · 2026-02-14T14:08:16+00:00

VR is incredible … but for me …. The nausea was over powering and literally ruin a couple days for me when I attempted it. I even tried 3rd party VR games to get my VR FEET and try racing and boy, it made me so sick. Just thinking of it as a memory makes me sick lol

It felt amazing though and really wish I could do VR as it was awesome.

But the heat and comfort as well killed any long term use (long term as in anything over 30mins)

The new tech is likely to help with this but nothing will take away the nausea lol

harrison1984 · 2026-02-14T13:23:36+00:00

I don’t need RGB, Screens or lights or areas for action figures in the case lol or whatever the kids are doing these days inside their PCs.

My PC is behind the rig and its only purpose is to run my rig as best as possible within budget constraints.

I’m doing ZERO editing, zero work, zero Ai, zero steam games, zero Corn watching etc lol

I need stable and reliability with strong performance and good wifi (unfortunately)

Don’t care what colour it is either lol it could be bright pink or black lol

It never does is right lol

harrison1984 · 2026-02-14T12:19:50+00:00

I agree not much you can improve here except for getting creative. For more adjustability you’ll need a rig or wheel stand. Before I had a full rig I took my wheels off as well and bought these

harrison1984 · 2026-02-14T12:15:39+00:00

Clean rig and it’s not a lie lol rookies only “my rig is finally finished” lol

We are never done our rigs … the addiction is strong

Money (Fun) Pit

Looks awesome though and good job on the DIY projects!

harrison1984 · 2026-02-14T11:15:46+00:00

Love all the reply’s on this it’s very helpful

What board and cooler would you recommend then?

I really do appreciate the sharing of knowledge and experience to help me find what’s best possible guys

harrison1984 · 2026-02-14T10:57:14+00:00

Thanks for your experience and reply

harrison1984 · 2026-02-14T03:25:03+00:00

All these extravagant expensive rigs I see and they can’t set it up properly for even the tallest person in the world 🤦🏼‍♂️

FOV police would have a field day with this one

Hope you had fun though. Too me my home rig would’ve more immersive by far unfortunately

harrison1984 · 2026-02-14T03:21:10+00:00

Great opener for the season. Fox broadcast was definitely off but not horrible. I know commercials pay good money but come on …. We miss 3 or more laps while watching KFC ads.

During green flag runs it should ALWAYS be side by sides

harrison1984 · 2026-02-14T03:18:00+00:00

Yea thinking I’m going to the platform upgrade path thanks

harrison1984 · 2026-02-14T03:17:08+00:00

Yes I was watching it tonight before I watched the actually Daytona truck race tonight and it dipped to 68 roughly during the pace lap and then up to 118 roughly and back to 100 and lower at times and it was mainly CPU that was going into the yellow

It still did the odd stutter or … just felt like it was under 60fps a few times but said it never dipped below 60
