After fighting the temptation for a while, I got a sim racing rig. Previously I was just using my normal desk with a non-rolling office chair. I scored this rig with chair and the made for Xbox Logitech G920 steering wheel (but still works with a Windows PC) off of CraigsList for the price of the onsale price of the steering wheel on Amazon! I couldn't pass the bargain up. The previous owner sold it because his fiance "hated it." I get that my g/f rolled her eyes! :)
Currently it is going through my 42" 4k TV. The same PC is driving it, I just had to acquire a longer display port to HDMI (4k compatible) cable, the USB cable barely reaches, and the wireless keyboard & mouse are still in range. I set the rig on top of a "movers dolly" so I can unplug it and wheel it out of the way for movie nights.
I am surprised to say how much better of an experience iRacing is with a rig like this. Eventually I may swap out the used Honda Civic seat with FAPS (Favorite Auto Parts Store) racing seat cover with a "retired" real racing seat.
