I found some good reviews of sub $1000 (US) rigs at Inside Sim Racing
In order first to last review so far we have:
TSW Z rig and Tru-grit DIY rig (28 minute mark for the good stuff)
Playseat Evo and Bob Evans
Ozone Obutto (28 minute mark for the good stuff)
Since I found the Roccaforte I figured I could add a “gaming workseat” section. It’s on the right side.
Found this at the same time I found the chair. I does have potential. My concern about sticking with the desk setup is I don’t get the pedals up off the floor and into a more natural driving position.
Roccaforte Gaming Desk $399.99 Can
I found this at Costco. Not exactly what I’m shopping for. Plus I’m not impressed with the way Costco has renamed it for Canada. In the states it’s known as the Pyramat Wireless PC Gaming Chair 2.1. And the Amazon reviews aren’t great.
Jimmy PC Gaming Chair 2.1 $269.99 Can
So here’s the seats I’m considering:
Gameracer: $499 US dol
Playseat: $340.84 Can dol.
Obutto Ozone: $289 US dol
I sent an email to Texas Sim asking about shipping details as well as if there is a need to pre-order a unit. Email got bounced. That's not giving me a warm fuzzy feeling.
Got an email yesterday from Chris at Obbuto. He apologized for taking a while to respond and went on to describe some exciting new things happening with the Ozone. I guess the biggest news is he has secured a North American distributor. Texas Sim Racing will the place to get the Ozone.
