Also did you wind up keeping all of the electrical components to the seat hooked up, such as the heated seats?

I'm sure this is an obvious yes, but is the desk custom built as well? I'm sure you've posted it before, so I appreciate your time in answering.

Even though I don't rent, I designed everything to be modular, removable and not damage the property. It took 3 people 2 days to put it up though :)

It is not attached to the seat. It has independent controls to adjust the seat (18+ adjustments) and the monitors (height, width, tilt). The monitors themselves are suspended by a rather elaborate framework for safety reasons.

I "kept" the electrical components in so much as they all work (memory, 3 level heated seats, etc) but I added a few parts (leg rests) and had to rebuild much of the car's "brain" to get everything working together. As an example, it needed a signal from the speedometer to enable heated seats. Go figure.

The desk was custom made out of aluminum honeycomb.

Im currently debating building a new rig. Even going with dual monitors. A normal person could not even attempt to imagine or justify a setup like yours. But believe it or not, hearing you talk about your setup makes it a lot easier for me to say, screw it! Some people get it, some people don't, but I like it, its fun, and Im going to enjoy the ride.

The funniest part is if Normal People can't understand what I do for a living, then why in the world would I expect them to understand my hobbies? Like yourself I'm not normal, and Unlike yourself I dont mind sounding High and Mighty, cause gosh darn it, I call em like I see em! :thumbsup:

Blue one is analogue VGA
White one is DVI (Digital Video Interface).

I think that with the right adapter cable, you could connect the DVI output from your graphics card directly into the HDMI input on your HD-TV and use the higher resolutions (1920x1080).

If you connect your computer to a VGA input on your TV, if it has one, then you'll probably be limited to quite low resolutions (720x480 for NTSC and 768x576 for PAL)

yes indeed, HDMI uses the same system as DVI-D for transmission of video... HDMI also has audio of course
