Any problems with Digital Storm?I'd build my own, but i just don't have the time.Thanks in advance for your advice!!Donn

I you are going to have someone build it for you check out www.maxforcepc.com I just got one from Max, under the System Status Reports it is listed as Store PC.You should have a dedicated HD for FSX only and FSX addon's that have to be installed with FSX. Most people go for a WD Velocirator 300GB if they can afford it.I would think that you would only need a 850W PS at the most, for the GTX285 it is recommended that you get a PS with a single +12V rail, The Corsair TX series has the +12V single rail.In my opinion liquid cooling is overkill, just make sure that you get a really good CPU air cooler with a good fan.I do not know what kind of case you are getting, but my Cooler Master HAF-932 comes with four fans, plus the CPU fan that makes five and this baby runs cool!If nothing else get a quote from Max and then you can see how the Digital Storm price compares.Regards,Rod

A rig like that tells me you
