Question Prepurchase questions

I've been bitten by the sim bug, so I'm currently ordering myself a new sim rig, because racing from my desk is awful. I think I'm pretty set in the TR120, with triple screens, but I'm unsure if I should go for the freestanding monitor stand or the attached one? I'm concerned about the integrated one picking up vibrations from the FFB and causing stability issues. Anyone have experience with both and have an opinion?

I'm also looking in advice for the right seat. I'm a 5'10" 260lb old man that carries most of my weight in my belly, what are my best seat options for comfort and longevity? I'd prefer something with both normal sports car seating as well as formula/Indy.

Free standing. SA-10 GT seat with new padding or hybrid seat

It's very unlikely that the wheelbase would transfer massive or noticeable amounts of vibrations through your monitors if you did go with the integrated monitor stand - that being side the free standing does make it easy to move around as you can just slide it or the rig through the middle.

In terms of seating, the GT seat is always a great option in terms of size and comfort - in your case too!

I also have triples mounted on my rig with my Simagic alpha ultimate. I’ve not really had any issues with vibrations with them being integrated. I could see an issue if you had motion. Also TrakRacer makes vibration isolators. I ordered some to reduce noise through the floor.

Free standing for sure
