I was checking those out last month. Price has gone up on the new ones. Looks clean and mean but I'm still sitting on the fence as to if I want to get one of those, or just dive in and build the whole pit myself.

I bought the original before this upgraded one had I known this was coming I would have waited and bought it..but if you have time and the resources..then build it yourself..do what you budget allows you to do..

 

But I will say I am very happy with my Obutto...:thumbup:

Do I like them? Yes, but price is a key factor for me.

I'm keen. Hoping to place an order in a few weeks for late July/August delivery.

 

I'll have to learn how to set DCS up for 3 x 1080p monitors, and a centre mounted 22" touchscreen (on the wheel mount) running Helios. I'm not that savvy with this sort of stuff... time to start the learning curve again.

 

Going to be fun playing with it though.

I have the original and couldn't be happier..good luck..maybe I will fork out for the new R3volution Obutto...:music_whistling:

Hmmm now this could spark my idea for dedicated sim computer again. Looks to GF .... he move your stuff i need some space !

[Deigs]

Starting to get all the kit to bolt onto this thing when it comes out. Just bought 3 x 27" view sonics (cheap at $255 each) as the main monitor. Just got to get a touchscreen, buttkicker, track ir5 and a video card to drive it...

 

Damn this hobbys expensive.

If I had the money I'd get one for sure, they are nice.

What's the difference? What's the advantage of the new one?

Did you not watch the video's..show's you all the added feature's that were not on the original Obutto...

[jocko417]

I like it but I'll wait for reviews before considering a purchase. I have a TM WH with an extended stick, not sure it could be mounted properly to take advantage of the longer stick throw, especially since it's essentially a car seat with no cut out in front.

Now I did. Adjustabilty is the difference. Although more expensive that the old version, I am really tempted to buy this for my new Sim-room, which I will get within the next year.

i am tetering on whether to get it and sell my old obutto to a friend around me in Toronto..not sure yet..I've asked if those extendable arms can be used on the old obutto setup...if so then I will just buy the addon's..:thumbup:

The screens have now arrived for the R3volution (Come on Chris!!! Take my money already!!!!)

 

Guys, I just bought a ASUS 7970 3 Gig GFX card, and plan to run 3 1080p monitors in Eyefinity and 1 1080p touchscreen monitor running Helios.

 

I plan plan on overclocking my i7 920 CPU, it's now currently stock at 2.67 GHz.

 

I also have 6 gig of DDR3 RAM

 

Do you guys with these Obutto systems think this is enough? What can I expect? What should I update?

sounds great..only wish I could go all the way to three screens..who knows maybe in time...:thumbup:

Been a fun week in prep for this things arrival. I needed 3 display port to DVI adapters for the monitors as the 7970HD card didn't come with adapters and the monitors aren't DP. Read lots about the active vs passive Display Port adapters but as mine are only 1080p monitors I didn't go for the expensive active ones. Cost me 75 bucks for 3 of them.

 

I also over locked my CPU for the first time. Never even tried doing something like this. Went from 2.4 to 3.7GHz on a i7 920 on air cooler. I'm chuffed and enjoyed learning about the process.

 

And lastly, preordered the r3volution, triple monitor mounts, side tables. Bought the Buttkicker unit, and a new Track IR5 with track clip pro.

 

Now I just have to distract myself for the next month till it arrives.

Damn you AirWolf I was almost happy with my setup until I saw this...now I'm going to have to work more overtime..
