The air museum that I'm a member of has one. The cadets came for a visit and went straight for it. Needless to say, it was a hit.

That looks cheap and easy to build too. PVC pipe is great stuff, like practical legos.

5 and 1/2 thousand dollars ? It's just pvc pipe and a $150 bucket seat. For that price you could build one and a new room to house it.

It includes a PC and monitor.

Nice layout but at that price I suspect they'll sell few if any.

23" lcd monitor - $250
5 piece PC speakers - $75
Wireless keyboard - $25
New bucket seat - $200

PVC pipe, cement, tape measure and hand saw - pretty damn cheap.

Controllers - I don't know about you but most of us allready have a setup that we prefer.

You could build a nicer one out of aluminum pipe and or wood for much much cheaper than the price they're asking for that one.

Ok but you can get an AH capable PC now for what ? $400, $500?

Anyway it's a good DIY idea.

If it had some sort of motion capability it might have a chance to sell.

Y'all sound like a 'priceless' commercial in here.
