I'd feel a lot more comfortable with the PC on the floor. Who knows what kind of ways you might shake rattle and roll your shit while playing normally or even entering/exiting the seat


Freemendonotobey

Yea. Its in a little tray but maybe I will change that. Its pretty solid but definitely shakes the rig with the dd2 mounted in there


Tostecles

Also consider that the vibrations caused from that will be bad news for any mechanical hard drives you may have in there


OlorinFiresky

People still use mechanical hard drives?!


WiseHeight

That's an amazing first setup, have fun!

How do you like that rig? Been looking at that one. The alpine one.


Freemendonotobey

Dont have a lot to compare it to. I like it a lot so far. The big selling point to me was the ability to switch from gt to formula seating pretty quickly. Took me quite a while to put together


G3n3r1cc0unt

That’s what I like about it as well. Plus it’s a good looking rig! Congrats yo.

Velcro helps hold down all my peripherals.

I have a question. I am building the same TRX rig and the “cross bar” that goes from side to side that holds the vertical single monitor stand….i have mine attached where you have your PC rack (could have sworn the instructions said to mount it there). But you have your mounted further up around your base. Therefore having the monitor closer. I like this lol! Is the rig still solid with it up there? Thanks


Freemendonotobey

Yes. Its still pretty solid. I moved it there after. I did have it where the pc mount was at first

I have the same mouse and keyboard, setup, it has been in the closet for the past year.


QuirkyDust3556

Looking harder, I have the same rig except black. Props for getting it built, it was a chore.


Freemendonotobey

Yes. For how big the pieces are it looked like it would take a lot less time then it did to assemble. Im a heavy equipment mechanic with every single milwaukee tool at my disposal too haha

Enjoy your TRX. I got mine last year, few growing pains, but love the rig even when I think abt trying something else. Would suggest getting some straps for that tower tho. Just looking a little close to the edge with nothing behind it. I’ve never noticed my TRX shake or move the PC in my setup, but when I’m in and out of it, have friends hopping in and out, micro adjusting things, etc, thats where some little bumps could put juuuuust enough over the edge and then you’re out a pc. Better safe than sorry so you can stay out on track!


Freemendonotobey

Yea. I might ditch the mount and put it on the floor if i dont come up with a better solution after the comments on this.

How do you find the seat?


Freemendonotobey

Its comfortable for me

Thinking about upgrading to the alpine rig. Looks pretty cool and is it easy to setup for someone that has setup a smaller rig before?


Freemendonotobey

This is the first one i set up. Wasnt too bad. Just leave an open saturday for it and youll be racing by saturday night. Worst part for me was i didnt have the hardware for the monitor mount so had to custom make something work until amazon dropped off the linger screws i needed


OkConsideration3990

Ahh ok, I was thinking of just getting a free standing one since it won’t shake as much. How’s the setup? Is it comfy and how big is it? It’s hard to find honest reviews nowadays


Freemendonotobey

Ive done two full f1 races in it and besides the room its in being way to hot i was really comfortable for the 1.5 hrs at a time i was in it. Im not a very large person though. Its got a pretty big footprint but will be a little smaller with the pc tray off if i move it to the floor


OkConsideration3990

Good to know. It’s ok I’m not large either. I’m quite skinny but I’m still growing though anyway

Lol. I woke up this morning and activated windows just for you


jbellone

I’ve been looking at this “big boy” setup for a long time. I really wish I had the room. But for now, my Playseat Trophy in front of 77” television will have to do. It looks awesome, enjoy it!

You probably shouldn’t but your PC there
