Posted by MaxTO on Sep-22-2004 17:52:

you mean I don't have to buy a steering wheel seperate? AND it has more gauges than a home built cockpit for flight sims!
*drooooools*

Wow. That was the "home computer" for the year 2004? I don't think that would fit in my room.

We've come a long way, baby.

Though admittedly that gigantor machine is probably still quieter than my computer.

RFLMAO omg i luv the steering wheel. My search for the perfect pc mod has come to an end... ahrrrrrr

Posted by sisterbliss on Sep-22-2004 19:37:

that double steering wheel is super intriguing

Posted by ShadoWolf on Sep-22-2004 19:43:

maybe the wheel is a primitive pointing device... i.e. outer wheel moves the cursor up/down and the inner wheel moves the cursor right/left

Posted by igottaknow on Sep-22-2004 19:47:

Maybe it was an early incarnation of Netscape Navigator

This is a hoax.

Turns out a guy I work with that I showed this photo to immediately recognized those controls as those of a nuclear submarine he was stationed on in the Navy for 13 years. He said that wheel is actually a throttle that opens and closes valves.

After he told me this, I did a seach and it is indeed a fake picture:

Here is a current picture of those exact controls:
