Specs:

i5- 4690K

MSI Z97 Gaming 5

MSI GTX970 Gaming

Corsair Vengeance Pro 2400Mhz 2x 4Gb

Corsair Neutron GTX 240

Antec EDGE 650watt

To buy the sim stands these days are just so expensive for bad quality ones. So made my own one and cost WAY WAY less. Just needs some paint.

Nice ghetto-simulator. Banacules would be proud of you ;)

 

In all seriousness, this is a really good idea that I would do myself if I had the space. I recommend putting racing stripes on it as well, we all know things go faster with racing stripes.

Look in the shadows of the bottom right, there's a Mac pro G5 there, so a little better than a G4

Ah, on mobile, just saw it.

The monitor goes with g4, and early g5 I guess.
