Show Us Your Setup

There is more monitors, but I couldn't fit them in the picture

better be glad I don't have a camera, because my setup would horrify you rich people with your hotass. it would make you have nightmares. forever.
 
I thought that was going to be your answer but kind of hoped it was hiding some kind of secret gadget ;)

It's probably a note from the wife: "Take out the garbage or your Elite days are over!" :D

am I permitted to post in this thread if I make less than $5000 a year?

$5000?
Hell I earn around 14,000 (pounds UK) and even I can't afford those setups. I would love to create a proper cockpit complete with overhead mounted projector for the screen. If only ED would make it possible to use two touch screen tablets USB'd to the PC for the side panels, it would be perfect. The whole setup using my existing PC I'd imagine would cost around 1K or 2K to make with a good ultra wide screen projector.

I've since moved to my 40" Philips TV for my primary display. The 4th monitor you see in the pic is now my secondary for browsing the forums whilst I do my trade runs (Working on "Preparing for Deployment" CE in my Type-6 right now :D). My Saitek is bolted to a board and sits in my lap while I sit on my couch. The cats prefer the new setup :D.
 
This is my ED/flight sim setup. When I'm using the computer for something else I move the small table out of the way and the HOTAS behind my screens. No use for the second screen ATM so I mostly keep it off and out of the way while flying.

Really need to get a 3rd screen some day, would fit perfectly on the table. Sadly that would also mean upgrading my computer. :D

And the odd pedals under the table:

Looks like a pile of scrap plywood... and that's pretty much what it is :D
Had an old cheap logitech driving wheel with HORRIBLE pedals. So I made a new base for them and surprisingly they are pretty decent now. Made the plate really big because the pedals are very light and sensitive so it's easier to make small adjustments by only using my toes.

Simply turning flight assist off is not enough for the most hardcore commanders. If you REALLY want to get immersed into the gameplay you need a desktop that rotates with your ship :D
