Hi All,
I've come to show off some of the things I've gotten for myself, as I hope they will bring great things for me
First up, I have purchased a brand new desktop computer for simming. It should arrive just before my birthday on the 8th. I'm extremely excited to get back into flying planes, as for the past four months I've been using a spare desktop. My Alienware laptop that I originally used for all things FS had a faulty motherboard that died just after New Years, and I could not find a replacement. I took the hard drive (thankfully my data is all still there and backed up for double measure) and sold the rest of the laptop for parts, and pulled in a little over $100. The desktop I have been using is hardly capable of running FS, much less with addons, AI Traffic, etc.
So, I'm very excited to get back into my main hobby For those curious, the specs on the new desktop are the following:
Dell XPS 8700
Intel i7-4790 @ 3.6GHz w/ 4.0GHz Turboboost
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745
1TB m/SATA HDD
16GB RAM
Etc, etc...
All of this will be hooked up to two 23-inch LCD's that I am already in possession of and that you shall soon see.
Secondly, I found a good looking desk at an old junkyard, and bought it for just around $65. I've been fixing it up for the past few weeks and have finally gotten it back to a good and usable condition, and have now set up shop in a cozy little corner of my bedroom. I also built a small chart mount and set it up next to my flight yoke. It's all a bit messy for right now, but here's what my set up looks like:
You can tell I'm a huge fan of Yoohoo
It isn't completely all set up yet, but I'm very happy with what I've got going now.
That's all for now,
Chris
