Got lucky with a client that wanted a one of a kind rig
Obviously based off of the '67 Lotus 49, I wanted to build a mobile rig with only a single power cord coming out of it. I designed and built an open chassis PC that's housed in the "engine" along with the audio and transducer amps. Each velocity stack houses an 80mm PWM fan to exhaust heat. There are two 120mm fans pulling air in from the bottom. PC built based on reasonably priced, and available, components; 9800X3D and 7900XTX.
Other mentions that I can think of:
• all body and engine components were self designed and created in house via CNC and/or 3D printing
• custom ply and PVC sheet frame and body with 40120 skeleton
• Wrapped in metallic, British racing green with period correct logos
• 57" Samsung on a (highly recommended) Montek swivel mount - this rig will travel some and the single monitor made more sense than triples
• Simagic Alpha, P1000 pedals (with custom plates and haptics), modded DX8 shifter (machined elongated SEQ/H lever and "period-ish correct" walnut and aluminum shift knob)
• power seat and pedals
• Ultrashield race seat with cover
• custom dash with 14 bind-able buttons/switches and 4" round LED screen
• integrated touch/mouse pad in upholstered arm
• 2-100w transducers mounted to bottom and back of seat - dedicated Aiyima amp
• 8-speakers, including the rear view mirrors - dedicated Aiyima amp
• 6 position terminal block powered by a 360W converter
• 28" tire step
This was fun...sometimes. There are 1000 things I'll do different on the next one. I get to build a '62 Porsche 804 for his best friend.
Thanks for looking.
