Nothing... just a desk and a standard office chair. No space for a permanent
installation here.

My girlfriend slaps me on the side of the head from time to time.
Otherwise, nothing special.

Half my sim racing is done reclining on a comfy leather sofa, notebook on
the coffee table, and a small CH joystick in my hands.  Somehow it's rather
incongruous to be piloting an Eagle through the twists and turns of the
'Ring and to be coddled in such comfort...

I built the frame from MDF, bought a racing seat from a Speed/Sport type
shop and the steering wheel, everything else I built...

Same here.   Although I upgraded from a very thinly padded poker chair to a
more comfortable leather computer chair.  =)

That is SO cool :)
I use a garden chair.. nothing as comfy as a good garden chair in
front of a desk.

Jeez-O, Edw., it looks like a cross between a 747***pit and a Soap Box
Derby car!

Very nice, Steve.  (Sure beats wasting yer time on case mods.)
HyperStimulator still exists, AFAIK.  Their kits are expensive (ca. $2500
for a finished product...altho it looks exactly like a tub from a formula
car), but you can DIY...if yer handy with woodowrking...which I'm not.
