This seems to be the chair we need, for those who won't be going for a simpit [ > ] anytime soon.

Imagine bringing a girl to that room lol.

Here's the company he used, it seems to be German: https://twitter.com/MNSTRTECH

They do have a US site though: https://www.monstertechusa.com

LOTS of pics of setups on their Twitter feed. Here's just a few: https://twitter.com/TheDarkLawTV/status ... 2861501440

That top-left red-light setup is sick. Do enlarge it to see: https://twitter.com/TheDarkLawTV/status ... 6023360522

So basically:

Tier 1: Some sticks on your desk

Tier 2: Specialized chair

Tier 3: Full simpit

I am tier 0 right now. In fact -1 since I don't even really have a PC and just use a cloud machine in Paris lmao. But this week I'll get to 0 since I'll set up my new 3080 laptop I swear to god.

This man built a $30K gaming room modeled after a Star Citizen spaceship

Jorge Jimenez wrote:Popular Thai YouTuber Bankii loves Star Citizen, and apparently had an ungodly amount of money sitting around. The result: He built a $30,000 game room based on his favorite ship in Star Citizen, the Crusader Hercules.

Towards the five-minute mark in the video above you see the construction process for this elaborate room, and Bankii goes over the numerous revisions it took to achieve the space shuttle vibe. The process involved placing wood panels on a steel welded frame. It was first assembled at the architect's workshop before it was moved to Bankii's studio.

The spaceship room was built as an extension of Bankii's studio and is accessed with automatic sliding doors—like in Star Trek, or the grocery store. It really does look like you're boarding a spaceship from his office. All that's missing is the hiss and steam of decompression as you enter.

The 'cockpit' features three 65-inch TVs, as well as a curved display that acts as a dashboard for racing and flying games. Below the dashboard is a small HOTAS for flight games and a steering wheel for games like Forza. The PC running the show is a $6,000 custom rig with an RTX 3090.

Later in the video, you get a guided tour of the room, which has everything I'd expect from a 1 million baht (roughly $30,000) PC gaming room. You know, like a built-in kitchenette with space for a grill, air fryer, and electric kettle for making noodles.

Sorry: space noodles.

Want your own dope spaceship to play video games? Bankii broke down the costs:

Ship interior: $11,685
Automatic doors: $1,700
kitchenette and kitchenware: $1,400
3 x 65-inch TVs: $4,400
49-inch Samsung CJ890 curved display: $860
Flight controls/steering wheel: $1,900
LED lights: $860
PC: $6,650

Bankii plans to use the spaceship room to create more gaming content. At the end of the video, Bankii asks Elon Musk for a Telsa (for a collab, of course) and talks a bit about his success with passive income. We tend to take financial advice from popular YouTubers with a grain of salt, but maybe that's why our desks aren't outfitted with $860 worth of RGB lighting.


This is impressive. I am amazed that it is modeled after the Crusader Hercules, a transport type craft.

Star Citizen truly makes non direct combat ships so awesome that their interior aesthetics are admired and emulated.

Guy knows where it's at.

He gets 30 FPS in Orison and 60 in space with "AMD 7950x @ 6ghz Asus 4090 @stock (2.8ghz) until the water block I want is released. 64gb of ram @6000mhz". So it's entirely possible to play at 3x4K even before the expected performance improvements.

Just wanted to share my recently complete DIY setup. That is all.

This guy is doing it right. Never seen a SC setup with a wheel before, but as you may have noticed, the Cult Spec includes it.

All cool people have a wheel ready for playing Star Citizen. The only question you must ask yourself is: are you cool?

defenistrat3d wrote:Maybe a silly question... but can easily you use a steering wheel for land vehicles?

Or do you move that when playing SC?


Sim-Junkie wrote:I can easily use any and all of it in SC. Kb is out till I get in cockpit or driver seat of ground vehicle. Slide kb tray away and have full freedom to fly or drive. It makes loading vehicles easy.


TheJungfaha wrote:Very cool! very cool indeed. Now that you have a taste of that, upgrade your driving aspect of the cockpit to FANTEC gear, and then you're on a whole other level with forced reaction feedback.


Sim-Junkie wrote:Yeah, I know. I've driven an accuforce on a buddy's setup. Moza r7 is next on my list. Thanks for the compliment.


Ooh, something I didn't know.
