    This isn't specifically a laptop question, but I've finally got GT5 and I'm thinking about getting a wheel again. Thing is, I would use it in the living room and I really cannot deal with a 'permanent' stand. Is there something that would work from a sofa and allow me to pack away the whole thing rapidly?

    welcome to the darkside, my friend!

    u'r in luck cuz there are plenty of "stow-away" solutions now when it comes to your gaming wheels.

    this Wheel Stand Pro is what i just ordered. it's one of the most popular options when going with the stand route.

    the Apiga AP2 is a relatively new unit out and is creating quite a buzz in the GT community.

    there's also other solutions like this XL20 Xlerator Stand.

    just let me know what design and features u prefer and i'll try to help u out the best i can. u should definitely check out GTplanet for all the GT info u need.

    I was looking for, I dunno, something which clamps onto a coffee table or something. How does the Wheels Stand Pro pack away?

    what wheel were u interested in?

    most wheels u get, today, will come with some kind of clamping system. for example, i've been using my logitech G27 clamped to my laptop desk.

    this is the Wheel Stand Pro folded up with and without the steering wheel:



    sorry for the big pix. they were all i could find. there's also alot of youtube videos that u can check out. u will get to see how well the stand works a little better.

    anytime! just ask if u have any questions or concerns. if i can't answer them, i can probably find it for u.

    all 3 of the solutions i posted up for u can be folded up somehow, and put aside.
