Curved Screen Update

I am still very much focused on using a curved screen with a projector (see my previous posts) - and here is a progress update video of an upcoming Frex curved screen.



It surely looks like a great "seamless" envionment to me :)

New Computer and Wheel

Ok, I have now put together the new PC containing the following gear:

• Intel Quad Core Q6600 overclocked to 3.0GHz
• Gigabyte DQ6 motherboard
• 4 GB memory
• nVidia 8800GTX 768MB
• 2 x 250GB RAID0 OS/programs/games disk for speed (160MB/sec)
• 2 x 500GB RAID1 data disk for redundancy
• Windows Vista 64bit
• Antec P182 box
• Corsair 620W PSU

Also, my Red Momo wheel broke so I urgently had to get a new one. I was hoping to wait for the Frex FFB wheel but that is still a few months away so I ended up buying a Logitech G25. I must say that I am VERY happy with this wheel. The G25 pedals are also great but I will still replace them with Cannon Simulation Technologies CST-3B for a more solid construction. Finally, the G25 gear stick is of very cheap quality and will definitely be replaced by another H-shifter, probably the Frex HShift+ still.
