Building them is part of the fun to me

Perhaps you should also hire someone to install and debug P3D for you then 🙂

"Seriously?".... He has the assets to get one built for him and for that...I say thumb's up!    This is not laziness, this is a statement of success!

Of course it is not laziness, just a critique regarding overpriced offerings from Jetline. As a teenager I also thought that Alienware computers were magically superior. Now I just know better...

Speaking of overpriced, did you see the $7,000 CPU they have. Wow....

Happy New Year!

I to prefer to build my own because most builders don’t offer exactly the configuration I might want. On the other hand, it’s all on you when building your own, and I totally understand that lots of people don’t want to have to deal with those issues.

2700 USD for a 3060Ti build? No thank you. Perhaps for those that do not know/like to build their own systems. 

And  I can Build for $3.5-$4K  CAD same config and they charge $5100 US.....These guys are dizzy with pricing. I built my own last December. When time comes I'll build one more. I think it's overkill.....Just spent $1800 for G9 Odyssey....I'll be good for next year or so.

And that's me talking...Had no clue how to open the box...but I did it (with terrible wire management though 🙂 )

Learned everything on YT and here on AVSIM....took me 2 days but hey...she is (was) powerful....

I built my current PC two years ago (the first time I had ever done this). Not the most powerful PC on the block (my finances were limited), but I am extremely proud of myself for doing it. I had the rear of the case open this morning because I needed to switch a SATA port connection to one of my hard disks after installing an NVMe M2 SSD (another first for me), and I was impressed all over again at just what a fine job I had made of it  Two years later, it is still performing flawlessly

I'd pay for that right now...  Sadly the gentleman who used to provide that service passed.  I am totally blanking on his name as well.  Shame on me!  Michael something? 

Very happy with 5.3. 
 

Bought Narita, Haneda, Hiroshima, Kansai, Kobe, Fukuoka, Shanghai (both airports), Xiamen, Kunming, two Okinawa airports, Seoul (both airports) and Jeju this week and will likely get more. Plus Osaka, Shanghai, Tokyo and Seoul city scenery.  
 

Don’t blame me if P3D addons aren’t selling.

installing an NVMe M2 SSD

LOL....Well, I bought it at the same time as MB and everything else and it was pretty easy to assemble. It took me 4 hrs to figure where CPU water pump wires go but it was very obvious and simple but....But than, when I turned PC first time on, at 4 AM with W10 media stick and after installation finished I couldn't figure why I can't use the internet. Just after less than 2 hrs I finally figured that I don't have a card...LOL. Slept for couple hrs and had to go  buy one and to open box again to install....Than after that I figured that I installed Windows on wrong hard drive....and on and on. But I had fun. And I'll do it again but I learned a lot.

I would trust Jetline over Dell any day.  Building one's own custom PC is NOT for everyone, there is actually A LOT to know to get the best possible results for any given $$$ price point.  I've offered to help folks with PC builds, but no takers.

Cheers, Rob.

Dell served me well for 6 years....

 

I'll keep that in mind next time for fine tune tricks....  🙂 🙂

EGPH at night is fixed, don't know when that happened but it is fixed. No more brightness overload.
