I'm taking time off till the 5th Sim should be done by 19th computer is built Its a dell optiplex 745 with a saphirre 270x 4gb and a celeron 2.5ghz and 8gb of ram And it runs three moniters plus all the sim hardware i used something like this to connnect the wiring to the connections to the sim board  And another one for the hot wires for the leds for specfic switches that led light up when you hit a switch. i had modified a g27 by putting spacers in the wheel so the sim frame can go over the g27 there is a air horn switch that is hooked up to a real air horn for shits and giggles |
