    Well I guess that is a little untrue. As I thought about posting the build I want to do (which will need much of your help) I realized the lesson I could not have learned until now and decided I would try to help.

    So this will be a slow story at time but easy to keep up with as I update it sometimes with the stuff I have on hand. Then others as I continue. For example, I should be able to get a few steps done over the weekend here and get some updates in.

    Day 1: First we have to take down the stuff we thought was the most amazing thing you could buy, only to realize you NEED motion, more immersion and it all needs a base to build from. Enter Picture one -

    Happy building all,

    Been a while but it is up and running again on the new rig. Here are some of the photos I took along the way. I can add more as I get time but the here are the 7.1 speaker mounts I made with profile. 20210329_101814.jpg 20210329_101803.jpg 20210313_151659.jpg

    Here is a shot of the mount I made with a plastic sheet and some command strips for my phone. I have tried all sorts of options for where to put my display. On the wheel is the best for me. My 2nd go around I cleaned up this mount a bit but super easy to do. 20210215_185354.jpg

    A Picture of the button box I made. Left side is getting rebuild to include my stream deck but all together this was prob a $100 to make and fairly easy to do if you 20201025_212315.jpg mind learning as you go.
