No finances currently to fly yet, so will have to wait to eat my 30mms. Just wanted to let my extended family know that I got my new toy. :salute

Nope, they came default w/ the rig.

That wiring is a bit messy

Tomorrow I am seeing a friend who helps build these computers, he will help me sort out the wiring. Since I have no idea what I am doing in that category.
Which reminds me, what recording software should I use w/ this rig? I've heard of shadowplay, bandicam, fraps etc. But which would be best w/ this rig specifically?

Did we really need the laundry basket shot included :uhoh

Get him to hide the wires behind the motherboard plate. A proper build should look something like this when done right.

You've got a Nvidia card, so I'd go with Shadowplay if I were you.

Alright will do that :D

Yes! Just like red paint on Ferraris and stickers on Nippon cars...

Tinkles, I hope the computer wasn't running when you turned it on its side for the third picture. Because that is a known-good way to break a hard disk...

Very nice set up tinkles :old: see you in the air :salute

go with shadow play but you might take a hit (guessing here) since your card is on the low end of the requirements for shadow play. dont try fraps you will really take a big hit.
save some money and in the future get a 700 card or above. they should go down in price next year. for now enjoy all the eye candy :).

Oh... I am. :)
60 fps constant, ocassionally drops to 59 (oh the humanity)!
The wiring inside was due to the shipping, it drove nearly 1600 miles to get here. I shown pictures to the builder, and he said that many times shipping will shake lose components (like it also did with my card, separate issue in tech support). Going to my boss' house today, he will be helping me with my checklist today.
Semp, what card do you recommend I get? I have enough room for 2 cards on my motherboard. What do you recommend, single or double, and what #'s (700 770 etc).

How was the flying after a 6 mo hiatus? Rusty? Lol

Actually no, 1st dogfight my 109f vs sarcelles sbd. Great 3+ mins going at it, finally got him, but he put some good shots in my canopy. Haven't lost my touch on the 88s or 30mm either :)
To Semp: Yeah I don't plan on getting it right away, I mean months down the road. I plan on getting an i7 processor later down the road and a better graphics card. But hey I"m not complaining, I play ac4 on high settings with no issues, so I'm a happy camper.
