I want to gain ideas of what and how to set up the TV and games consoles to get the best from them, I was thinking I might get two gameracer seats and two wheels to play split screen, if anyone had any pictures of something like that, I would be most grateful to see them.

I really want to get a mini, 205 or AX rolling shell (with interior but no mechanicals... maybe a handbrake though), park it up somewhere, add two steering wheels, two PS2's, two copies of GT4 and two screens to watch it on (possibly like they did with that BMW simulator with a whited out windscreen and projector behind the driver's head somehow) and have system link 2 player. That would be funny, but expensive, time consuming and somewhat limited. Maybe I'll look into it this summer.

Also if you're going to go as far as getting two game racing seats you might as well invest in another TV, even if it is an SDTV, split screen is crap (but it does mean getting a second console and second copy of the game) and doesn't really get the best results... If you wanted to go all out, as long as the console in question has HDMI (so a PS3 or X360), get two samsung 226BW computer screens (I think they're 22.6 inch, about £190 without VAT, quite cheap for HD gaming I thought) and get a mate to bring over their console and game. That is if you bleed money, though.
