What we call in australia V8 racing taxi's
as the same car profiles are the larger cars that are used as taxi's
 
I had a setup like that about 1998, when helicopter sims were real good.

I also had a fourth monitor, directly below the center, for the instrumentation.

"Rudder" pedals and two sticks as well.
 
With all of that equipment, he could afford the Richard Petty Driving Experience several times a year and do it for real.
 
Mine was all second hand, or clearance table stuff, or stuff I got from doing upgrades or bought with money from same.

Back when a good PC cost about $1500, mine was about 90% of that spec and well under $600 including all that extra crap.

The REAL fun part was getting three video cards (one dual) to work with each other, the sound card, the network card and all the other crap.

This was pre- "plug and play", and all the memory allocation and interrupt assignment was manual.

I also had a period when I had three sound cards and a software real time six track digital recorder.
Back then a good hard drive would hold about three songs.

That was REAL computing and networking.

Today's web design and directory policy administration blows chunks.
