A player has equipped a gaming PC in a truck to play racing sims on the go. He explains that he is not afraid of thieves, because a theft would be too complicated.
A user showed his gaming system for racing games on Reddit. The special thing about it is not even necessarily the system itself, but the location where he installed it: namely in a truck. In another post, he explained that if he is stuck in traffic for a long time, he can effortlessly switch from his driver’s seat to his gaming system. His great passion: racing sims.
He also revealed a few details about himself in a reply to a user: He drives 24/7 a week with his truck, takes about 50 days off a year, and earns between 90 and 110K US dollars a year. According to him, his salary is significantly higher than a normal full-time job; however, he is also on the road all day and lives in his truck around the clock. For this reason, he has also taken up various hobbies, such as the gaming system or his motorcycle, which he always has with him.
Is he afraid of thieves? The trucker explains: “It would be a real hassle to steal it.”
By the way, it is supplied with an inverter and a generator powered by diesel. He explains that it is a Thermoking unit that was factory-installed and fully integrated into the truck, “so it automatically turns on to charge the batteries, powers the air conditioning while parked, and shares coolant with the truck engine to keep it warm for cold starts.”
Is he afraid of thieves? When asked if he is not afraid of possible thieves who would empty his truck, he denies this. Because, as he explains, a theft would be “really cumbersome.” A thief would have to completely disassemble his setup to get to the PC. Moreover, he is rarely out of his vehicle (via Reddit.com):
Stealing it would be really cumbersome. The whole sim stuff is firmly screwed down and you have to take apart almost everything to get to the PC. That would require time and tools, so planning. And the only opportunity when I am away from the truck for that long is when it is safely parked at home.

Another gamer would probably have viewed the trucker’s passion with just a shake of the head. For him, investing in a strong gaming PC is just a waste, since one could also buy a PS5: A gamer wants to know why one is still “wasting money on a PC” when one can simply buy a PS5 for 500 euros
