    The NRG left a little to be desired to be honest. but then again for the price you cant really complain. We went through a local speed shop which proved a few $$ more expensive VS going On ebay and shipping it ourselves. Also would have shown up a heck of a lot quicker too. (shipper took 4+ weeks)

    It also if i remember right had a firm Butt pad. For a larger driver tho it might feel fine.


    Yes i sat in the sparco and beside being MILES too big for me, The back padding felt awesome. I would prefer a softer padding for my rear tho.

    So buddy's rig is somewhat coming along, Got a rough sketch drawn up and he just recently got to test fit the seat. He Fits, Success lol


    Here's what i found myself building over Xmas, from a mere 90-100Fps in AC with More than adequate setting's to 250+fps with everything near max.......Amazing how much easier it is to drive at 300+km/h lol

    This is pretty much like my setup, same motherboard, same proc, same RAM, same SSD - difference is, I got 2x GTX970 4GB, NZXT H440 case and gonna build custom water loop in next weeks..

    But yeah, running AC at 300 FPS is pure delight, almost no input lag, very precise and it runs very smooth in SLI, no tearings and similar annoyances..

    This Case is a MONSTER, 27.70" x 13.50" x 26.10" Had to build a stand for it and to prevent the Pump from touching it.

    Nice one @Nick Moxley.

    I have the GTX 670, which has done a sterling job, but was contemplating upgrading it to GTX 970. I have stayed away from SLI as it has its own set of Rift related challenges.

    Thanks for the heads up On the rift. I did not know that was a problem.

    AMD and Nvidia are working towards built in VR support and I would expect the issues with SLI will be resolved in the long term, but for now it creates some processing related issues. The last Nvidia beta drivers broke VR support altogether.
