Man, the virtual racing chassis looks wicked cool.

Nice audio goods, but he should've spent some time at AVS to get ideas for the video.

I'd like that racing chassis, but I already get endless amounts of grief about the stupid steering wheel I have. Not to mention, I never play games anyway- can't find the time.

I wish I could get paid as much as he does to be a computer dork.

I wonder what that 848x600 proj looks like blown up to 110"?

Last night I watched the show where they went through his placed and showed off the gear. When they came back to live, in-studio at the end of the tape he admitted he didn't actually own all that gear. He said it was more the system he dreamed of having if he could actually afford it. Unfortunately, he didn't say which pieces were really his and which were borrowed.

What a scam. So, it wasn't an enthusiast showing his love for HT, it was more like an ad. I hate poseurs.

Hmm, I wish I had known that before I posted.
I had an inkling that most if not all of it was "promotional" material.

He only did it to get Sarah Lane into his aparment...

I'm gonna have to get me one of them racing chairs.

Isn't that really part of what "The Screen Savers" is for? Showing off toys? I don't see the problem. Do you have this issue with the "Fresh Gear" show, too?

I definitely don't have a problem with Sarah Lane coming to my place, either. She can even bring Jessica Corbin with her.

Mod-master Yoshi DeHerrera give us a tour of his awe-inducing home entertainment system.
...
You'll need it to clean up the drool created by Yoshi's home entertainment system.

Note the possessives throughout. Does he really have 1000 DVDs.
It's the "Internet Girlfriend" complex.

Maybe I'm too sensitive. I just don't care for those that would turn a passionate hobby into a consumerist game of one-upmanship. The same problem exists in car clubs- "look what I had built for me."

If you can weld, it shouldn't be too hard to build. The seat looks like a $35 race car seat from RCI Racing. I used one to make a clone of a Thunderseat for flight sims.
