[Byuakuya]

Thats fantastic man. I envy you with that setup.

 

[Wii_Smurf]

I like it though abit far for a flight game?

 

[Beki_J]

OOO..I want my computer to look like that lol even though I don't use flight simulators. My aunties fiancee has been trying to make something like that though, he's really into that sort of thing too.

Right, the only reason your spalshing all that cash is because your in the air force right? so your getting be getting some practise at home?

Thats what i assume

man that set up looks wicked, i want one

 

[Brawny]

If I had x-plane...I would be building new planes more than flying lol. How much is it up to by now? (BTW: planning on going to college for aerospace engineering soo......)

Edit: why not an ir-3 sensor thingy....

Edit2: I'd get dual cards....but dual 8800's would be sick!! You got vista? are the 8800's DirectX10 compatible?

Well, I'm not in the Air Force right now, but I will be soon, when I turn 18 and graduate the AFROTC, but for now I am using it to get the hang of flying
Side Note: The picture of the setup isn't my table, its a touched up image from the website I order from. Everything on it is what I have, except I only have 2 monitors...right now...:ihih:

Woah that is AWESOME best of luck getting it all, and be sure to show us the pics once you're done

I looks fun...but is it really worth it?!

 

[Cadet]

Its only worth it if you know that your career will be flying planes, which I know mine is.
