Would you actually use these instead of triples or VR?
Been trying the ROG XREAL R1 on one of our sim rigs and I’m genuinely curious what the sim racing crowd thinks.
They’re way less bulky than VR and the virtual screen feels massive, but I’m not sure whether I’d choose them over a proper triple setup for long sessions.
Anyone here tried gaming glasses like these before?
Would you actually race with them, or are triples/VR still the way to go?

Had Super GT and Jimmy Broadbent put our sim rigs through their paces 👀
Not a bad pair of people to have testing the rigs 😂
Super GT and Jimmy Broadbent both jumped on our Thermaltake setups and gave them a proper go.
Safe to say they were slightly better at it than most of us in the office...

We’ve officially reached the point where the GPU has its own monitor
Saw this in one of the builds today and the little screen on the GPU caught me off guard 😂
I thought it was a bit gimmicky at first, but I can’t lie, it actually looks pretty cool in person.
Still not sure what I’d put on it though. Temps? A GIF? Something stupid?

The office has become slightly less productive since these turned up
We’ve been slowly building out these two rigs and they’re finally starting to look the part.
Both are running triple-screen setups and they’ve already caused way too many “one more lap” situations in the office 😂
Still a few bits we want to tweak, so interested to hear what you’d change or add next.

What’s one PC upgrade you made that actually felt worth the money?
Not the “technically 8% faster” kind.
I mean the upgrade where you immediately thought:
“Yep, should’ve done this ages ago.”
GPU? SSD? More RAM? Better monitor?

What’s the dumbest mistake you’ve ever made while building a PC? 😭
We’ve all done something questionable at some point.
Forgot to turn the PSU on?
Left the plastic on the CPU cooler?
Spent an hour troubleshooting just to realise the monitor was plugged into the motherboard?
Drop your worst one below 👇
Bonus points if the PC somehow survived.

What’s the best upgrade you’ve ever made to your PC?
What PC upgrade actually made you sit there and think, “yeah, that was 100% worth it”?
Could be a new GPU, more RAM, switching to an SSD, a better monitor, or even something small like quieter fans.
Mine would probably be moving from a hard drive to an SSD. It made the whole PC feel brand new.
What was yours?
