Glad to hear I'm nto the only one to get a quick bout of nausea at first. I haven't had that since the Wolfenstien 3D days.

And yes, gaming in single-screen feels very awkward afterwards.

Much as i love it, i kind of curse this place. If it wasn't for WSGF, I'd have saved about $1500. :P


*chuckle* I still get it every now and then on the projection setup. It's my eyes seeing motion that my inner ear doesn't account for as real movement. It's commonplace in simulation. Playing some stunt flying or racing games can make me feel motion sickness at times.

I love the way you mounted your speakers. Truly inspiring.

Thanks guys! :cheers

The speaker rack is the Creative Surround Station, I got it off a guy in the garage section of a local forum for about US$25, it was in pretty good condition, so it's one of my best purchase ever. :) You can't find it on sale now, except in garage sections, because it's EOL (end of line/life), Creative isn't making it anymore. And yes, I did bump my head a couple of times after just mounting my speaker setup with it, but it's kinda automatic now, I duck whenever I want to sit on my chair. :wink: I have to say, with the rear speakers firing right down and slightly to the back of me, the surround effect is awesome,,,,Dead Space's audio effect had me jumping off my seat when I hear a pipe hitting the metal grill floor.

BTW, I did try using speakers stands (metal ones) but I kept stubbing my toes the right rear stand whenever I sat on my chair. It was either this speaker rack or I was gonna lose my foot...... :mrgreen:
