October 2, 201015 yr Cool thread and some nice pic's guys, here are some shots of mine, the small one on the left is my first build (Q6600) its refereed to as the "Google Machine" because I don't have any AV on my main fsx pc, and when my wife goes to all her facebook and tweet sites she has to use that machine. Anyways it runs on both those 19 in lcd's , I use it for my charts, fscommander, ASE, and fsinn. My main fsx pc is an i7 build, it was the first time I used a full tower case, I was really surprised how huge the thing was when it arrived but man its great to build in when you have big clumsy hands I have everything linked together with a free open source program called synergy, its kinda like a KVM switch except its software(best way I could describe it) So I can just use one mouse and keyboard to control both machines.
October 2, 201015 yr What kind of yoke is that?Thanks for the encouragement on the house cleaning Stephen. The components are listed in my signature. Of note is that the yoke has been torn-down and rebuilt with different bushings so that the shaft doesn't stick when flaring for landing (as the CH FlightSim Yoke is known to do). Also, I find the extra USB mini-keyboard to really enhance the experience by making key assignments and placing labels per the attached. Art
October 2, 201015 yr I love it when you guys post pics of your rigs. I am sooooo impressed.I'll post one of the tower as soon as I find it.Bob Bob i5, 16 GB ram, GTX 960, FS on SSD, Windows 10 64 bit, home built works anyway.
October 3, 201015 yr Ian - If I ever splurge on a case, it's probably going to be on one of those Obsidians. You're not helping me keep my money in my wallet, haha.Bob - Let us know when you do. Looks like it might take a while! Mikef.k.a. tripod_todd
October 3, 201015 yr Nice rigs!...This is my FSX/Gaming PC... Sorry for the cable mess... Inside...Outside...The cooling system... Intel i9 13900KS @ 5.8GHz - MSI MEG Z790 ACE Gaming - MSI RTX 4090 Suprim X - Corsair 96GB DDR5 6400MHz @ 6600MHz Dominator Titanium RGB - 2x Samsung 2TB 980 Pro + 3x 4TB 990 Pro M.2 SSD Raid 0 - LG 4K 55" OLED C1 - EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 T2 PSU
October 4, 201015 yr Author Nice thread, Stephen Below are some pictures of my pc. As you can see I'm not a big fan of fancy gaming cases The cabling could have been better, but the cooling is still effective. There are 6 S-ATA disks mounted.Lots of power there Ulf! Thanks for sharing with us.Kind regards,Thanx Stephen - I currently have a 28 and a 22 but I've been toying with the idea of a 40ish HDTV for as monitor.IS there any reason why you went to HDMI->DVI cable as opposed to HDMI->HDMI? I know the gtx480 has an hdmi output. Does/would it make any difference?VicI don't think which kind of cable likely makes much difference, but the one I used was quick at hand and economical. By the way, more than likely if you took your computer into a TV store they would let you try every large screen in there to see what fits you best!Kind regards,Cool thread and some nice pic's guys, here are some shots of mine, the small one on the left is my first build (Q6600) its refereed to as the "Google Machine" because I don't have any AV on my main fsx pc, and when my wife goes to all her facebook and tweet sites she has to use that machine.

I really like how you have shelves for each part of the system. Looks great!Kind regards,Not the greatest picture, but I'm in!I love that coolermaster case. I had my eye on it, but now I won't be buying anything new for awhile. 980X (sigh), I wish :Whew: Kind regards,Lazza,Do you ever use that big screen for flying? Nice controls!Kind regards,I love it when you guys post pics of your rigs. I am sooooo impressed.I'll post one of the tower as soon as I find it.BobBob, what can I say? I am sure there is some good stuff under there! It has that lived on look, quite the rage!Kind regards,Nice rigs!...This is my FSX/Gaming PC... Sorry for the cable mess... Dexter,Holy cow, it looks like a cross between Alien and the bridge of the Enterprise (Next Generation)! Very impressive to say the least. Serious gaming equipment!Kind regards,
October 4, 201015 yr I went to the forum help section for an answer, but found that things posted there don't get answers, so I came back here. Why do the computer setup pictures appear in some of these posts, but a box with a red X appears in others where you have to click on it to see the picture. Is there a size limit? If that is the reason, what is the limit? I can't find anything to explain it. :Confused: Thanks. Art

October 4, 201015 yr Stephen.Such a gentleman. I know what you were really thinking.Art.Right click on one of the photos/select properties, and you will see those photos are hosted by something like photobucket or imageshack. You can set up a free account and have a way to share photos and videos.Bob Bob i5, 16 GB ram, GTX 960, FS on SSD, Windows 10 64 bit, home built works anyway.

October 4, 201015 yr So, you're saying I could run my smaller HP box and my main rig using one KB with that synergy software? Does it impact fps any?Yes and no there is no fps impact that I can see. Its pretty simple to set up but there are some tricks as with anything, I have been using it for a few years now. Here is the linkhttp://synergy-foss.org/
