Neat!!! Makes CEM on a Spit look easy-peasy, mate. Thanks for the update!

That looks like a work of art and i know nothing about computers.
You ought to hire it out to Luthier and the developers

I swear I just seen this post over at OCN the other day while aimlessly browsing.

Top build! Next year I'll be making enough cash to do something similar. Wish I could do it now, though.

No worries! Yeah it's a bit of a complicated beast. Lots of monitoring and alarms set with the Aquaero 5 XT controller to make sure everything is ok.
Wait till I show you the monitoring screen shots.. Feels like Im trying to balance the load of a nuclear reactor! LOL

You'd be right, there's more detailed worklogs up at a few overclocking forums around the place.

Next year you'll be able to buy better hardware than I! I wont be updating again till the next update after the next now. (unless I have a remarkably good year in sales for the next half!)

No way can you shell out that kinda cash and still be content with a simple X-52 and that other stick you have. Time to invest in a proper stick and rudder (why not in a whole simpit)

If i was nuts enough to spend that kinda cash it would go for that stuff first of all, lots more precise flying and immersion to be had.

Unfortunately I have no space for such a setup but would love to one day!

On another note...

The yellow 16 AWG wire arrived today a bit earlier than expected!
ProRaid arrived today. It has a higher quality finish than I was expecting.
SSD carriers arrived today too and expecting 24GB memory later this afternoon.

Now all I need is the shipment from Performancepcs which is due today or tomorrow and the AC blocks which will be at least another 2 weeks.

At least I can start on the cabling now!
I stripped back the existing sleeving from a few PSU cables over the weekend in preparation and also worked out how to make custom length Sata cables!

This is gonna be a BIG job!

You don't need any extra room for a great HOTAS and pedals.

That absolutely awesome setup makes the Saitek controls look like an afterthought though. I used to have Saitek and it was decent stuff, but there is much much better out there.

For example, a TM Warthog with dual throttle (awesome with CoD) and a sturdy set of Simped rudder pedals are in order for you. Believe me, they will be WAAAY better performance-wise than the Saitek stuff and won't take up anymore room. They will look amazing with your setup too.

Have fun!
