    Hi guys, new here and thought I'd say hello. As all of us I am sure, it seems like every time I get my racing rig where I think I will be happy, I want something more. I started on a desk, moved to a wheel stand pro and then build my own triple screen cockpit with wood and a junk yard sports car seat. Today it stands pretty much wher eI had hoped it would except I have ditched the three screens in favor of a Rift DK2.

    I was lucky enough to stumble upon this site and see that I do not need to spend $5k to get a motion rig. Luckily, I am handy (I think) and own a welder and soldering iron so why not try. I have just begun to read as much as possible and start to make a list. Thanks for all the great knowledge you guys have built here!
