Recommended Posts

thats really good looks neat and functional -Well done - 2 Graphics cards i seeI like the cockpit have you got two MF panels one Saitek the other ?. impressive set up
Radio Panel and Switch Panel. With a triple head 2go and still need one more video output so going to rethink the setup.
what sort of paint did you paint it with - Hobby paints for models?
Just some regular Home depot black and grey.
Vincent, that is great! Neat, clean, and professional looking! I wouldn't mind that contraption being in my house at all!
You should see the USB hub nightmare, have a 20port USB hub enroute so it should clear up some of the confusion.

Vincent,I am really impressed. It is a really professional looking job. Those twin 480s must keep the room warm. :Just Kidding:Kind regards,

Here's a quick recent shot of the setup.... (hmmm do I need to take some hints from the DIY cable thread lol?)It's usually not this messy... but it works great. skyvector, adds, approach plates etc on the small monitor (secondary PC linked to mine with Synergy+ ) and my main rig of course (added the pedals in Dec)
I was just thinking that you have come a long ways in your rig Ryan! Looks better and better. Love the pedals.Kind regards,

Haha, I was just about to call overkill on the PSU, but I see you beat me to it in your sig! Great PSU regardless! What's the rating on it (gold/platinum)? I'll be looking forward to the photos of the finished product.

@ cmeeks: The PSU was recommended by silentpreview.com because of its quiet nature, it is the 80 Plus Gold Series . I used this site for much of my quest for silent operating hardware guidance. Although I could have used a smaller PSU, this one specifically was noted for its quietness and I needed 650 watt minimum with current configuration anyway. I won't be using the Hobart welder out in the shop as often now (grin)...@SpiritFlyer: Thanks for the encouragement. How it looks assembled will be a little interesting inside that black box, but I am hoping it performs the optimum FSX immersion miracle!!

I've got the same mobo, it's really good for overclocking my i5 2500k runs stable (24/7) at 5ghz at 1.35 Vcore
