I got a new cockpit!
« on: October 23, 2017, 05:58:37 PM »
Going from minimum graphics on a laptop sitting on my lap to maxed out graphics PC on a nice desk and in a nice chair....night and day change in overall gaming and Aces High gameplay for me.



Need to clean up these wires and get a second monitor but oh man gaming is awesome on this setup.

Very nice man. Just dump that Razer mouse pad and you'll be good to go. :)

Nice, but it looks like you need to work on your cable management.  :devil

Nice.  I have a pair of new Astro 40 myself on one of our PCs.  I’ll post a pic later.  I had the identical Staples chair too, hah, before we got our DXRacers.   Got a new 65 inch gaming desk surface for a bday present, once I assemble it I’ll pic it up for my AH system.  As well as HOTAS, I collect various mechanical keyboards (reviewed the first retail one Razer put out years ago and predicted everyone and their dog would be making them in 5 years - happened), and that looks to me to be a Corsair Strafe, IMO one of the best bang for the buck mechs with Cherry MX switches you can buy.  I got mine with Reds, one of the few red switch boards I have,  for $100 cdn on sale, which is a great deal up here.

Flew for years with an identical CH setup too, still using the CH stick, prefer it for AH too.
