My entire rig there, pc, lcd's, cockpit was right around 7 grand. I built it all myself and it is respectfully modeled after FrexGP simconmotion. By building my cockpit myself I was able to modify it to fit my desk, which was my main reason. And it saved me around a 1000 U.S. as opposed to just ordereing the whole cockpit from Frex. Also included is an Ivibe incorporated into the seat you see. A very loud but fast i7/x58/295gtx setup, and yeah, the extra cooling fan comes in real handy lol.

Heres a video I played around with a while back when I was still running 1 LCD, and my olde 4800 dualie and an 8800gtx.

That looks like a lot of fun. The racing stuff should also work for flight sims? I like to play both of them. So all I need is that one for my TH2 setup.

So only the racing hardware how expensive will it be? I have never seen it in germany :)

I was thinking about getting two of the Ergotron LX Desk Mount Arms for the side screens and then leaving the regular stand for my center monitor. They sell for about $100 a piece and look really nice quality.

I ordered three single monitor arms from Monoprice.....you can find it here:

http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=109&cp_id=10828&cs_id=1082808&p_id=5402&seq=1&format=2

For the price they work GREAT!!! 23.08 a piece when you buy three. After you get them all set (it takes a little tweeking) they look and work great.
They are built pretty well and you will save a bunch of money. That is about 70.00 for a triple monitor arm setup. The mount like at least an inch of desk to clamp onto, but you can always add a piece of wood to each arm when mounting.

NOTE: As in the other suggestions which limit someone to a 20" monitor, these are single mounts which will not limit you except for weight....I think they are good for up to 33 LBS. I am easily using three LG 22" monitors.


Good Luck!!
