Driving cabinet ideas.
Sinner:
I've recently purchased a Driving Force Pro steering wheel, and have been searching for a few games to use it with...I played a few MAME games, but the PC it was running on wasn't very powerful, and sometimes there was a lot of lag...SO...I built a new 3.2Ghz PC with 1GB of DDR2 RAM, and I've also purchased "World of Need for Speed"...I am now addicted to NFS Underground...I've decided that I have to build myself a dedicated driving sit-down cabinet...
Here's what I'm thinking for now, and I would like some ideas and suggestions...I have the DFP and I would rather not mess with the steering part right now, but I would hack the pedals...I would try to find a 32" TV and put it on a pedestal which is connected to where the seat is mounted...
Other than that, I haven't started putting anything down on paper...just some images in my head...
Is there anything I should be considering, when designing this?

Check out gamecab's site. He has some good ideas on this that he posted.

I love NFS:U too, but sad but truth is that keyboard is way more reliable on that one. For one, when you start to slide out in a race, when you steer to correct yourself, you usually start spinning the other way. Keyboard doesn't do that. Or maybe I suck at NFS:U.
Not to derail your thred, but do ya know any other good ones? I assume Nascar games cuz they go into desperate detail to please Nascar zealots.
