Hi guys, just a quick upload to show off my new driving cab. I decided to build a console based cab this time, just in time for the Gran Turismo 6 release on PS3.

As per usual I built this on a budget:
Cabinet $25
LCD's $200
PS3's $100, both were modded so flashed original firmware to allow network play via PSN
Logitech Driving force pro's $100
Audio amps and upgraded speakers and subs $100
Random bits and pieces and artwork $100
All in all just over $600 total build cost across a 4 week period of a few hours per night. Sold it online for 3k, new owner very happy :)

I swapped it for a PC running SSFIVAE Taito X emulation, total PC build cost was $25.

Its a Battle Gear 2 cabinet, the mainboards had failed and the vendor had removed the nanao screens for another use. There is nobody in NZ who can repair those boards so they goto Aussie for repair at a cost of 10k each! Not worth it for an old and somewhat crap game.

Yes, I wish I had room to keep it, would have been the perfect candidate for a dual console and PC cabinet
Thanks

That's such a cool looking cabinet!  I love the side "fairings"!  Great job!  WOW!

I'm searching out speakers and AMPs for my scratch built cabinet (I will hopefully be posting total build shortly).  My cabinet is using a Midway Cruisin USA Exotica seat which has built in head rest speakers and a small sub at the bottom back of the seat.  What AMP/speakers did you go with?  Do you have any recommendations for my seat speaker setup?  Did you go with 5.1 surround or just wire up the head rest speakers to the front left/right (is that called quad hi-fi stereo?)?  I'm not sure how much a difference 5.1 would really help on GT or even GRID.  I'm currently just using headphones in-between working on it.

Looks nice but the shifters are on the wrong side.
