March 31, 20233 yr JCRider, That's a very touching gesture on your part and I applaud you. I'm almost 80 years old and last Nov. instead of building a PC for me, I built one for my son, who's 28y/o. I feel blessed that I still have the faculties and hand coordination to do so. BTW, I had built one for me a year earlier..Anyway, great job and it's obvious your dad is most appreciative. Best to you and yours..

Thanks Mace 🙂 I am delighted with the combination of the components and how the build has gone. The resulting experience with Microsoft Flight Simulator is exactly what I wanted to achieve for my Dad. I'm looking forward to getting a VR headset for him and will post a video of this once we have it (in the near future).

However, his old PC was a huge restriction where he was just about getting by with FSX. This is leaps and bounds ahead!

Thank you Simtech95382 that means a lot to me! 🙂 I just read out your comment to my wife and we both agree it is extremely impressive you are still building PC's (for yourself and your son)! The cabling in particular can be awkward to fit.
