I was wondering (Having just ordered a Track IR) if anyone has done the
trick of putting panels onto your monitor to immers you viewing just to the
screen thus drawing u in..

Does anyone know what its called..?

It was like that but stuck out more and didn`t have the lense..... It was
meant to black out all the surrounding things in your game room...

Ahhh.. sorry I completely misunderstood. I do know what you are talking
  about. It is called a "monitor hood" you can purchase them (places
like this http://www.photodon.com/mgrh.htm ) or you could save the money
and use cardboard and flat black spray paint (make sure you use flat
black and not gloss).
Good luck, Fred
