computer driving simulations and controllers!

Hi all. What are people's opinions on the most realistic software and hardware
for playing at racing on the computer?

I saw an arcade game once that had three contiguous monitors in a wrap-around
format to give about 120 degrees of view, and it was very good... I don't think
it'll be easy to duplicate that, (though I'd like to know if it's for 
sale), but I expect
some of us already have lower-cost setups and I would like to hear your 
opinions.
thanks,
joe
