Remember that “gaming rig” we talked about? Well, it would look something like this: the Playseat Evolution FIA gaming chair . With video games becoming more and more realistic (to the point where they are being used to train pro drivers all the way up to the F1 level), it takes a special piece of furniture to drive the feeling of being in an actual race car all the way home. In addition to the seat, you get a mount for your wheel and pedal peripheral, and often a mount for your display as well.

It’s like having a cabinet-style arcade game right in your office – just much, much better.

The seat is one thing, but you need a wheel and pedals to complete the look.

A John Deere CP 690 in Farming Simulator 19? Rumour has it they’re working on it…
