What are some good racing games for 3-5yr old?

Pick up a used copy of Microsoft Midtown Madness 1 or 2. Great fun for the young ones.

Good racing games for PC?

If you can find a copy of Nascar 2003 by Sierra and modify it with the GTP mod, you will end up with one of the most realistic sims available. The mod is a free download as are lots of car skins, tracks and setups. The forums at racesimcentral.com are an excellent source for virtual gearheads...

Racing Wheel Recommendation?

Here is a link to the Thomas Enterprises main page. Not cheap but worth every penny IMHO.

Racing Wheels for PC with shifters with clutch?

There are quite a few wheels that come with a clutch these days. Thomas, ECCI, Ball Racing Development, Frex, and Redline to name just a few. The clutch is often an option as some games do not suport a clutch. No need to purchase what you won't be using. I'm not aware of any wheels that...

Best wheel/pedal set for pc?

Purchase a closeout copy of Sierra's Nascar 2003 and then download Redline Developments GTP mod. IMHO it's the best racing sim yet. Try chassis 2(Jaguar) or chassis4(Mazda). It's a bit of a pain to get it installed but worth the effort. Check out the forums at racesimcentral.com for...

2.1 speakers for music

Horns in general give greater efficiency at the expense of response linearity and frequency bandwidth. Without bad mouthing the Klipsch at all, I would be reluctant to classify any horn as exceptionally accurate. Don't get me wrong here, I like the dynamics and volume that horns provide...

Ubisoft beefs up copyprotection, and it sucks

In an effort to clarify my comments, Need for Speed Underground 2 does indeed check for virtual drive and/or drive imaging software. It gives me a virtual drive software error every time I attempt to start it. I recently un-installed all drive imaging software on my rig and I still get the same...

Any1 know what is JBL Control SB-5?

It might make an awesome sub in a home theatre 5.1 setup in the right hands. The woofer itself is probably a high sensitivity driver with a more or less standard impedance of 4 or 8 ohms. The line transfomer/amp would likely have to be replaced or modified in some way. The integrity of the...

It appears that your sub is for a distributed voltage line system. This means that it is suited for applications like Madison Square Garden. The driver and amp are probably very high quality but it will be difficult to integrate well in a home-theatre or PC multimedia environment.

PC Steering Wheels?

Link to a previous thread on race controllers. Check out that ECCI Trackstar model, no lack of innovation there.
