My son put my box together for me. I have,

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     E6850  @ 3.00GHz (2 CPUs)
3328MB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS

I have everything turned up/on in the graphics except self shadows and building shadows. Other shadows are at 1024, and I use the HiRez pak. I never notice the frames slowing. When I do have the numbers on it stays at 60 fps.

This is my desk with the controls up...

(Image removed from quote.)

...and this one with them down. I have since split the arms so that the controls stay upright while under the desk. I didn't like the idea of the stick hanging down when I wasn't playing. I figured the spring tension would weaken.

Of course we know what I use to fly in   :devil

WOOT!

i wanna make one too!

But first we need:
-Money for wood (about 50$ at ebay xD)
-Money for 2-3 bottles of wood lime (10$ at nearby store)
-Money for new pc system (about 500$ at ebay)
-Money for pc accesoires (i just only want a joystick, a thingy to for speed and a matrox tripple head monitor)(at least $400)

Now lets see how much

This is the FASTEST System (actually two of them at same time) I have built to date.

Specs:
Case:               NZXT Phantom (White)...
Did you provide suggestions during this product's design phase? I noticed it resembled your modified NZXT Tempest cases.

druski~if TD saw my system's insides he would hunt me down and hang me from a tree.....lol     I am amazed at his work, I said a bad thing once about the prices of his systems, and so regret it, if I had the money I would so go to him, the guy is a wizard when it comes to comps, and then I read about all the other stuff he does to help and take care of his clients, I want to kick my own arse for saying what I did.

Yea, I can't agree more Ink.  I used to have a home-build that was awfully ugly, but am now running one of TD's systems at home. (mage) When a minor issue came up he went out of his way to help me resolve it.  Rich is a great guy and runs a solid business.   :aok
