If you want us to see pics hosted on geocities you have to rename the extention to .txt on the server and link to that, geocities doesnt allow hot-linking.
Or we can just drag the link up to the address bar

 

Dont have the psot up for more then 10 minutes and already complaining.. Tisk Tisk..

 

That's a waste of 30k.

 

Pshh so says you.. Having unlimited budget rocks! Good to be Rich FUN FUN FUN

 

http://www.trinity-racing.com/ tbh
far more pics and links and products.

 

I'm sure you could do it for less, but that's still great
I'll take 4.

 

But the thing is those are just other mods. This is about the Yoshi Mod.

 

In reality, it's not a waste of money. Yoshi was finishing this up during the week I was on TechTV (after the show I actually helped him work on it to kill time till I had to leave for the airport home). He got a lot of companies to fork out samples to be included in the project. Basically the best of the best were gathered and, from what I understand, some of it wasn't for keeps. It was merely a "proof of concept" and a bitchin' project to boot.

Kindof one of those "what would you build if you could" type things.

It was intended as a big eye-popper build for entertainment and it worked. It was pretty damn cool.

 

I had an idea of somethign like this when I was a kid back when those Virtual Worlds were in Las Vegas. I always had ideas of constructiong one myself, but didnt know wheter to go with a closed or open style. But now that I see how to make one, especially one that someone has done. It makes me now want to get out my Oxy-Fuel Welder and goto town. Yes in no way is this a waste of money but a true enjoyment of the ultimate gaming experience.

 

Yoshi rules so hard.

 

I like it and all, but a few touchups could have been done:

-Sheath the speaker wires.
-The center speakers should be below the monitors, near the left and right speakers.
-Was there a stick shift to go with it?

What graphics card did they use?

I do see they used the correct processor

 

I think the wheel was of the F1 variety with paddle shifters. The system was one of Monarch System's Hornets. I'm pretty sure it was a dual card nvidia driving the video but can't remember.

 

I believe he said that the video card was a Matrox Parhelia.

 

He said in the video the Matrox Arhelia? Helia?
Hope that helps. Spans across the three LCDs at 2400 x 600 he said.

No there was no stick shift.. Underneath the LCDs were the feet are there was a high end racing hydr. driven pedals.. Gas break clutch. but no shifter.

 

No a very good gaming card tbh. He should have gone dual on a good agp card and used a pci card for the third monitor.

 

It was geared towards one game I guess.. You would think though he would go all full out but it gets the job done.

 

30k and he didnt go all out with stick shifts and a decent gaming card?
whats up with him?

 

I wish i could have TechTV, although then id be infront of the tv all the time and not my pc =/ *sigh*
