I disagree...you are exactly in the right business

looks SWEET!

Well, the cost is probably worth it in the long run. It has a quality look and a permenance that wood just does not have. Looks great.

That is one helleva set-up... I love the contemporary look and sleek design.

What Sim set-up do you have (frame, wheel, etc.) I'm looking to add that in my Basement and I like the design of yours.

Thanks.

The seat is from a New Zealand company - Vision Racer

Review: http://www.gtplanet.net/visionracer-vr3-review/

Bought it on eBay and saved $100, but it doesn't look like they are selling their seat on eB any longer.

You get the seat/frame/TV mount/shifter mount in one big box shipped from Cali. Came in 5 days.

It's made for PS3 and G25 or G27.

Our PS3, LCD, Logitech G27 wheel/pedal/shifter set were extra.

I use a 32" Sony screen for my setup (I'm using a table for the LCD/PS3 as I didn't want to get up every time I needed to reach the PS3).. I wouldn't personally go bigger - especially with the stock distance.

It's a very good seat - there are better ones available, but at least 2 times the price.

LMK if I can help further.

Cheers.

Of the hundreds of "luxury" garages that I've seen in person and on the web, this is my absolute favorite. It is completely stunning. Your garage is an inspiration for the very very modest remodel that my wife and I have for our garage. If I may so kindly ask:

1) What model/make are the troffers that you used by your workbench?

2) What are the specs/color temperature of the fluorescent bulbs that you used.

Again, my hearty Congratulations on your brilliant concept and flawless execution of your new space! I hope your FF Cobra is coming along nicely!

Thanks very much.. that's very nice to say.

The Troffer lights are Lithonia from Home Depot. They are 2 bulb versions:
http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1...atalogId=10053

I believe we put in 3500K temp T8 bulbs rendering about 2800 lumens each.. you lose some light via the troffer's bulb cover, but I knew we'd have enough. As you may have noticed, we also have some standard can-lights as supplemental and those bulbs soften the space.

I'll double check tonight re the temp/brand and re-post if they are different than 3500K.

Thanks again for the thoughts and good wishes on the F5 project.

LMK if I can help further.

Chris

Thanks very Much Chris! Your help is invaluable. I'm using the same troffers too, though nowhere nearly as many!

Kindest Thanks,
Harry
