Guru3D Rig of the Month - October 2014

Published by Hilbert Hagedoorn 39

Sometimes a RIG does not have to be the PC chassis and internals PC, it can be a table being modified, it can be a game room or man cave, and sometimes it's just a frame. This month's rig of the month is exactly that, a race frame shaped like a roll-bar construction - and then some more. And though you will probably need a room to house this puppy, it is sheer awesomeness. Check out the rig made by Robert Ehrling from Sweden. The man is 39 years young and works as work as a upper secondary school teacher.
