You poor sick bastard (pun intended). You think your puny attmpts at self treatment will satisfy the beast within, but you are mistaken. Wait till you see that next new toy waiting on the shelf.... calling out to you, the old familiar cravings will return, then you will be driven to fufill the urge........

Have fun!

Uggg no that would be Crysis, that game is what drove me to the madness of creating my monster rig and then IL-2 actually gave me a reason to use the monster rig once crysis wore off.

All I want now are the new gfx cards coming out within the next six months so I can enjoy even more high res goodness!!

1. Count yourself lucky you "discovered" this sim at such a late stage. $500 and 1 new monitor is chump compared to most who've been on this crazy train for over 6 years now.

2. I have a 27" monitor and run almost everything at 1680x1050 and NEVER drop it lower...even when flying (and competing) online.

I dont know how lucky I was to discover the sim "later," because I had been on a console odessey. During that time I racked up 6 xbox 360's on a lan for gaming with friends, so you can imagine that little diddy right there cost me a couple grand

Before this I was addicted to battlefield 1942, but that only cost me $1,000 for a worthy 2.4ghz p4 CPU and $399 for the radeon 9700pro. That computer lasted me from 2002 until 2007 ) I cannot imagine a computer lasting me five years now!

One thing I know is we all have to pay stupid amounts of cash for our hobbies, because from a financial standpoint there is no justification for the madness lol.

Try justifying burnt and scratched table tops to the missus when you start putting together your own controllers. You Just can't do it!
