Is there anyone on these forums that currently run a system like this? How do you find it? Was it worth the cash for you?

Well word on the street is late July deliveries. So I guess it's time to start buying the gear.



I am running this exact setup with the previous Obutto model, I plan to upgrade to the new one though.

Pictures of that setup can be seen here: Click me!



^Only issue with that setup is it looks like you had to do some custom work, yes?

I'm starting to budget out mine. I figure I'll do something like a 30" screen flanked by twin portrait monitors, like this:

I love eyefinity, but three 1080 screens get too stretched at the far edges, and don't offer enough vertical visability in tiles like DCS and RoF. I figure that setup gives the best of all worlds; Enough horizontal view for immersion, and enough verticale for combat

Personally, I'd be looking to use mine for Flying, racing, and general gaming. Biggest Issue I see there is swapping out saitek combat pedals for my Fanatec set.

The only custom work I've done is cutting the stick holder, cutting and drilling the speaker holders and the wooden backplate. Nothing that can't be done in a motivated afternoon with some basic power tools. If you are on a budget, you might want to consider this, because when the R3volution comes out, the oZone will go down in price even more.

But yes, the pedal space of the new model is far superior and the mounts for basically everything are more flexible. But I still have to figure out yet how to mount my speakers to the R3volution.

Well the 27" monitors arrived this week and they are much bigger then I released, and there's 3 of them! I also have a HP 21.5" 1080p touchscreen for Helios.
At the moment I'm waiting for a ATi 7970HD card to arrive to power them all.

Bring on the r3volution!!!! I need somewhere to hang these things. They are taking up too much room on the desk.

I have the Warthog HOTAS and some Saitek Combat Pedals ready to go.

I will also get a Track IR5 (my TIR4 is on the frits) and a Buttkicker.

Might need to overclock my old i7 920 CPU as she's been stock for the last 2+ years.

Got mine up at 4.3 and rock solid!! It's a cracking chip! Was going to upgrade to an Ivy Bridge but there isnt really a major perf increase. Going to wait for the 4th gen i7!!

R3volution Pre-order paid for and ready to go. Got myself a Buttkicker and a Track IR5 for a bit of fun. Gonna be a long month of waiting I think.

Well the best I can do on overclocking the i7 with a Zalman aftermarket air cooler is 3.7GHz. She's stable and I ran IntelBurnTest for 2 hrs to check 100% loads and the resulting temperatures/stability. Maxed out at 91 degrees during load tests and about 55 degrees in DCS everything MAX'ed. Getting continuous 60 frames with vsync. Happy days!

A good base for triple monitoring in the very near future.
