From top to bottom:

- Monoprice 24 port patch panel
- hp mini PC (i7 4765t, 16gb ram, 256gb SSD) - running pfsense, PiHole and ubiquiti controller and my surfboard modem will eventually go in there too
- Cisco 3750e 48pd - 48 port POE gig switch
- 2u case (i5 8500t, itx Mobo, 8gb ram, 128gb NVMe drive, 8tb HDD) - Plex box
- 3u case (ryzen 1700, 32gb ram, 256gb NVMe, 4x1tb HDD in raid 0) - Minecraft server, rust server and NVR box
- UPS

I found the cases on PlinkUSA.net, pretty sweet cases just an absolute pain in the arse to build in. The whole thing is probably 20" deep

That is a good depth.

Can stuff in closets easily.

Edt: Get you a quality fish wire before running cable, worth every penny if you need to snake inside interior walls.

Oh yeah I got some nice tools. Couldn't get around to it this afternoon, doubt I will tomorrow. Tomorrow I'm going to try and get all my VMs up and running

Yep. Snapshots make it a little easier if something were to go wrong.

Also didnt have another machine to dedicate it to

I'm loving Control atm though.

I was a big Alan Wake fan, hated Quantum Break but miss Quantum Leap.

Guess I do like Remedy games. I'm really liking this title.

I play NMS in VR with Index/Vive Pro. It still needs some serious work, but they have been making it more playable. They don't always pull things off, but they really haven't given up on this game. I can't speak too ill of them anymore, they been updating the shite out of it with no requests for more payment.

Another game I'd like to spend more time in if I just had more time to spend gaming.

I gave up on it early on. Probably too early.

Anyone into racing sims? I'm thinking about F1 2019, Forza, Asseto Corsa and maybe iRacing.

I used to be into DIRT when nVidia Surround/Infinity Display was a thing.

If I had the money and space, I would build a pretty dope VR racing cockpit. Something I've always wanted to do

That sounds fun. I definitely have the space. 15 x 15 office in the basement. I think that’s big enough?

My office/gaming room is 18x19 and I feel trapped. Might be 16x19 actually.

But also have a sofa and chair along with the huge desk.

What size your desk? Or you making it "just" a VR room?

Edt: fckked up. It is 14x19. Pretty restricted.

Racing cockpits arent all that large, so I wouldn't need that much more space for my desk setup.

If I had that kind of frick it money, I would already have a dedicated game room with VR space

It's not that crazy.

I would do a flight sim over a driving sim for some reason. Maybe because I remember seeing my uncle's flight sim in the mid 90s, idk. Just always thought they were really cool.
