Some gaming systems are just so nuts that they do not deserve to be owned by anyone but the ubergeeks that can respect them for the awesomeness that they embody. The driving simulator is one of few such objects of desire. There is a lot going on under the hood of this badboy, there are four displays, three are 37″ Sharp LCD monitors and the third is a 7″ “rearview mirror.” Two power this there are four X-360s, each with its very own copy of Forza Motorsport 2. A “virtual wind system” will blow air in your face while you tear up the track.
There is of course, no word on price, if you have to ask then you probably cannot afford it. I do not think that an overblown system like this would be too hard to put together for a well tooled geek. Sure it might not look as awesome, but given a budget that would cover the equipment, it would still be pretty cool. I am pretty sure that VRX would be charging for more than just parts, so the price is going to be up there. Full stats after the jump, throw an estimate this way if you think you know what it will cost.

If only Forza 2 had a proper in-car view so you could really feel like it was a simulation. “Hood” view and “bumper” view don’t cut it, and third person with this setup would be disgraceful.

OK, it’s cool. It’s also too expensive for most people who have any responsibiities to own.
What if somebody were to set one or more in an arcade or theme park setting? How much would you pay for a twenty-minute ride?
How may of those admissions would you have to book in a month to make it reasonably profitable?
