    I have built my rig by modding a Bob Earl chassis with suspension and buttkicker lfe. I'm currently using a 67 LED as my display about 5 feet in front of my rig. It's good but I want more immersion, the screen while huge and bright 1080p still is flat.

    I have watched tons of FREX canopy videos and some TOOB videos but there are only a few.

    Is there anybody here who has used both or seen both, or mat be one or the other?

    I'm not interested in eyefinity or triple screen or the Jdome, the jdome ribs are very distracting. This is for Xbox360, PS3, and Microsoft flight simulator and GTR2.

    Much thanks for any help.

    I have no choice, I cannot move the coffee table because my girl would kill LOL. I have to move my rig from the den where there is no tv. I bought today the optoma gt720 projector. Now I just need to decide frex or toob so I never have to move my rig from the den again! Hurray. Please help guys who have these domes.

    Thanks.
