    I remember seeing a mod for the CSW base where they over drove it at a higher voltage and used and air pump to cool it..

    Anyone used such a mod on their CSW?

    If only it were that simple. Lol how i wish those were ALL the components you need for a DD Simucube setup.

    Wheel ?

    QR ?

    Case for Simucube and PSU ?

    Button's on wheel ?

    Motor Mount ?

    Dsub, fans, Kill switch, ?


    ect ect ect,....so i would be leery suggesting the build can be done for "800$" because in reality it cant imo, Unless your getting some really good exchange rate on some of the parts or something funny like that.
