Hello Everyone! I'm just getting started in sim racing and thought I'd share my rig and ideas with those who might find it interesting. This is the RS500 (also known as the RS1 if you use a Logitech wheel) from Ricmotech. While this is just the start, it's currently in a usable state, so I figured I'd share it as is. I'll make sure to update the lists below and add more images as I work on the build. If you can think of anything that might help improve the build or would be nice for a noob to know, I'd be happy to hear from you
