My home office. I work from this position 8-10hrs daily. Here are pics before and after adding an additional 19" ws monitor:

 

I have since cleanup the wiring and gave everything else a nice cleaning :-)

sod the sim,

 

OMG look at that bass and the Peavy Amp! I bet that sounds awesome.

 

 

Alembic has a way of making any amp sound great! They craft the finest instruments in the world IMHO.

I have to ask ... since you have the Warthog, I'm going to assume the Cougar stick is modded ... is there a reason you're not using the handle from the 'hog?

Posted

Yes, the Cougar is U2/Nxt modded. My WH handle will not fit into the Cougar base, probably due to the mod.

If your getting some wobble between the grip and base

try inserting an O ring in between the grip and base just the same

diameter as the connector.

CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.

Well then the question remains.. why not use the Hog stick ? instead of the Cougar ? Any size, handling problem ? (No pun intended, well, too late).

I don't dislike the Hog stick, but the Cougar with U2/Nxt is just more precise for me.

In the pictures you should be able to see where I put two screws in the desk behind the main monitor to keep the main monitor from sliding backward, and for the lower monitor, those two black posts that keep it from sliding towards me are also screws but I taped them so they would not scratch the monitor bezel. I attached the MFD's to the lower monitor by using two small strips of velcro. The lower monitor slides back put pretty easily though I have since tied all the cables into a bundle, so it is a little bit of work getting it out of there, but I don't plan on moving it anytime soon.

 

This desk has got to be at least 25 years old and it's got holes all over it from different configurations over the years.

Yes, the Hog stick is on R&R. I use the Cougar U2/Nxt because I like it better. Even if I do decide to get new rudders (Simped or Saitek), I will still be using the Cougar stick, but the Hog throttle stays!

Thank you very much Slammin! :-)) For the two MFD's did you put a protection on the screen before putting the velcro?

The velcro never touches the screen. It's only on the bezel.

I actually made the mistake of attaching the MFD bezels directly to the monitor face (the screen, not the edge), and then decided to move things around ... monitor survived, but I would NOT recommend it.

I was wondering about this issue with my shirt buttons the other day, velcroing them only on the bezels is enought ?

When you press the buttons on the "free corner" the MFD don t slam the monitor surface ?
