Scientists simulate almost everything when it comes to developing precision personified products. Out of that crop of simulators, the one that fascinates me the most is flight simulators. You just cannot wait to feel like a pilot tackling all problems...

I see a Saitek X52 combo ($115.99 on NewEgg), three very average looking flatscreens ($1,000 max), and a chair mounted to a bunch of sheet metal. Deducting the surround sound ($500, shall we guess?), that leaves close to $8,000 for a chair and some metal. Oh my!

Those monitors are puny. You could build a similar setup with three 24” or even 30” screens :)
I’m unimpressed. Even I could build a cooler setup spec-wise - design-wise I would be a bit challenged - though I could probably arrange for a cool pilot-like chair mounted on something...

I too tried to add up the things separately whilst writing this post and i was wondering why they have tagged it so heavily. A simulator with surround screens sounds a good idea but that is the only good thing about this assimilation. They need to re-think the price for sure.
